You are able to edit your submission and change the time to reflect that if that's what you're worried about

I think an interesting category would be all time trial platinums since you can get most/all without a pre-lap, like a quick less than 30 minute run

this is my contribution to the forums today

from last place to first place due to category split heck yeah

first place is not a requirement, no. I guess it could be reworded as "complete" or "finish" rather than "beat" but I assume most people are interpreting it as complete/finish.

If you want examples there's already a couple runs up and verified that don't get 1st place (as a team usually) in every instance

Wouldn't be opposed to it. If anything it's more options and might encourage people to submit times even one time

On the topic of Team Adventure 100%
if including Expert completion for paint kits, that would require 38 additional races. 6 of which are Grand Prix. oof
Getting all stars and keys I'd guesstimate taking 4 1/2 - 5 hours (I havent tried yet) so that's kinda rough as it is
(Edit: first unplanned run took 7 1/2 hours yyyikes. I'd say like 5 hours)

Hey just as a minor gripe idk if you can change the layout at all, but the individual levels page only lists no skip times by default

the only other thing team adventure mode keeps track of is completing all of the available missions in higher difficulties. Hard unlocking expert and completing all expert missions in a given chapter for a paint kit. That's all really lol

I agree with Nimputs on categories with the addition for All Tracks through exhibition. Also what would the rules be for 100%? You can get all stars and keys only playing through normal but there's additional things unlocked (cosmetics) through playing through Hard and Expert

So last Saturday I saw a very barren IL list and was inspired to record a couple videos.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV-knFSP8jPgfAy8-9k7isMXwKgZ3IWNY

or 237 videos. Here's a playlist with all possible PFCs from the free mode (at least from the NA version?), I figured it would interest the community to have a complete library.

Would also like to chime in and say having a PFC story mode category or IL difficulty runs would be interesting despite being slower, it would serve for more motivation to play and get better and contribute to the board.

Not sure if it was a result of this being brought up in this thread, but the cutting room floor has a section about this. involves holding all the C buttons, A + B in certain areas
