Howdy! I'm a representative from the WayForward speedrunning community!

We're looking to garner interest in a tournament for running the Costume modes from Shantae: Half-Genie Hero. There aren't many details as to how this tournament will be run yet, but I'll put out what I do know!

1. This tournament will involve each of the costume modes in Shantae: Half-Genie Hero. These modes are: Jammies, Ninja, Officer, and Beach.
2. It will be recommended to know all of these modes. Don't worry about not knowing how to run them right away! There will be plenty of time to learn each of the modes before the tournament starts! Beginners are welcome!

That's all I know! If you're interested, feel free to let me know in this thread! You can also join the WayForward Speedrunning Discord for more information!

I think that interest is pretty low for attempting this kind of thing. You could probably do a lot of the rooms blindfolded, but some rooms that rely on visual cues and a lot of the bosses would be extremely difficult. Run Run Rottytops also has semi-random cycles based on a global timer. It would be hard to determine what cycle you're on without being able to see the game. It's doable, but it doesn't sound fun to try and pull off, at least for me. As for strategies, I got nothing. Good luck if you do attempt to pull this off though! I'd be curious to see what you come up with!
