Just for fun I tried two unofficial categories:

Mario Party Superstars: All 1v3 Minigames, Any Difficulty- 14:16.59

Mario Party Superstars: All Duel Minigames, Any Difficulty- 5:02.43

Categories like these might be more beginner friendly because some people don’t wanna put in a guaranteed 2+ hours into a speedrun (3+ If they aren’t that good)

Yeah I looked at the achievements those look like they’d take forever lol

2v2 and 3v1 could be interesting! Especially because it allows two or even three people to submit under 1 speedrun. It could be fun to do with friends! I could also see only skill mini games being a run, as then it allows varying times to appear (with varying skill levels)

As for other short categories, I could see achievements being a category (for shorter runs, u could also have it broken up by constellation)

Yeah maybe the door but it would really be important to make sure we can see they haven’t made any progress in any challenge yet

Also about the bells: any bells before the run go in the ABD and any bells during the run can stay on u to buy stuff (like the spend 5000 bells challenge)
This was just in case the bells section wasn’t clear

I think:
- you should be allowed to have tools and nothing else in your inventory (or maybe even have a sub category of no tools to start)
- anything on the ground before the run starts will not be allowed to be picked up (anything that is breaking this will not be accepted as a run)
- I feel island development shop have Timmy and tommy available to buy from but really just as far as u need it to complete the tasks
- I think the player should be allowed to look at the challenges before hand (maybe make the start of the time when they first move from wherever they spawn so that they can show they have no progress on any challenge) (also because in most runs for any game, u have a planned route already)
- bells: put all bells away in the ABD for the purpose of the challenge (so u can get them later)
- NO using storage to grab items from
- the island can be developed in whatever best helps ur run (where u put ur house for example)
Hopefully I answered ur questions @ZelbulonZelbulon

Nice run! If this would actually become a category, I think the rng would just have to be something u deal with. But also can u get a challenge like “catch _ fish” but that fish isn’t at ur island (like a fish only available from one of the mystery tours)

Also, only being able to do one run a day per account might be bummin but it could also be a nice break for somebody resetting debt runs

I think the rules would need tuning but could definitely could be possible. Like maybe doing a only have tools in ur inventory so, for example, u can’t start with a tree in ur inventory to plant

A nice short category where u need to get all of challenges done that have multipliers on them. Little bit of rng should be fine (Mario party can be speedrunned). One problem could be if u already have items on u (like plant a tree) but that could be in the rules. Other problem could be if there are more multiplied challenges the further in the game u progress (but maybe just make it 5?) Thoughts?

This is the first game I am interested to speedeun after playing the demo. Does anybody know if it is currently getting added? Help is appreciated!

Thanks! Everyone has been a huge help!

So your saying they can time it?

Use my phone to record and upload to youtube(I need to make an account but that is easy) and look up an online stopwatch for my computer.

For timing, can I use a stopwatch and add a couple of seconds for error time? All of the speedrunners that I have watched use live split but I can't get that due to computer limitations.

How do I submit a speedrun? I'm pretty new at this and have been working at a speedrun for a little bit now. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I get that all star smash is point based, making it not a viable option to speedrun. I was wondering if there could be a category based on all star smash but it would be how fast to hit a certain Gsp. I only played all star smash once, but think it could make for a possibly interesting speedrun. I would run it if it became a category.

I don't know if I missed something in a direct or at E3 to know a possible category.

I thought this would be a good place to upload this. Does anybody know about or even have ideas about Smash Ultimate categories? I don't have Wii U, but I am getting Ultimate and was interested in speed running it. Help?

Should there be a category extensions to MK8. Examples of categorys in it: 50 and 100cc grand prix, 3 stars for each cup on a certain cc, and more(gotta think about it.)
