Hello, i have 2 questions about categories. So there are different categories for different difficulties, but the only change i noticed is, you get more damage from enemies and that is not that much. So not sure if it is necessary to have 3 categories for any%.

What about 100%? Can the mod please add it to the leaderboards and how do we define it? I suggest, that you need to do the bonus levels, so you need to collect all 10 stars in every act to get to the bonus level and then you have either to complete it or sometimes it is possible to speed it up by dying.

What do you think?

As for difficulties, that is usually the standard. People like to have the options, even if sometimes it does not make much sense.

And for the 100%, the only thing would really be the stars. I think just collecting them is enough, no need to complete the bonus level, just enter it.

Yes, just enter it. The problem is, sometimes you can not exit it, unless you collect everything.

Then I guess the ones that demand to be finished, will have to be finished =P

I have the same opinion as you with consoles, there should be different leaderboards for GBA ... runs.

For sure! I knew the GBA was a little bit easier, but I did not imagine it was so different. With that in mind, I do think we should have 3 categories:

  1. SNES/PC
  2. GB/GBC/GBP
  3. GBA

As they are pretty different games. And each should have the 3 difficulties (not sure if the GB ones have 3 difficulties). How can we ask the mod to add it?

I have done a few changes to the categories. I removed GB/GBC/GBP, because i think these game differ too much. I seperated the GBA category, because it is much faster. I added co op and subcategories for any%

if you have any other suggestions, let me know it

congratz contos to the 100% run btw should we have 2 kinds of 100% leadersboards? one for runs like yours, so collecting every star and coin (true 100%) one for collecting every star (100%) because as far as i know only the stars are important for bonus lvls

or we could call them all bonuses and 100%

Hey thanks. For real, i think doing a 100% run with star and coin has no sense, it would be like a playthrough, that's not interesting to see it as a performance. 100% wich means "discover all the game" is for me the best. It can be runnable, cause u have just to look about 10 stars every level, so u can have some strategies and routing. But i think 100% add really poor things to an Any% run. If the term "100%" seems strange for you, we can rename it as "All stars", but i'm not sure it's useful. As an exemple: In "Zelda Alttp", 100% category is just collecting all hearts and all items. We don't care about chests which are not interesting for the run.

I agree with the "All Starts" category, looks better than 100%!

Congrats Contos!

Update on the GBA category :

The GBA game (Astérix & Obélix : Bash Them All or Paf Par Toutatis) contains 2 "semi"-games, we never think of running the "Astérix & Cléopatra" part, but some runners might have the opportunity to do it so. Plus there is apparently a bonus level in GBA if you get 2 codes that are at the end of both "semi"-games (It's still under investigation, cause I currently practice it), which can be a real Any% for the game itself.

Thinking of that, we decided with a supermod to create the GBA game : https://www.speedrun.com/aobta

I will add Astérix & Cléopatra and Any% once we find out how it can work. So Any% (GBA) should disappear from this leaderboard, unless you think it's useful, for some reason.
