Sorry I'm late to this. I'm definitely down to add more categories if people are willing to run them. Just send a proof of concept run here and I'll create the category with the rules. Same for low%, there was a talk about it a while ago but no one ended up running it.
Well this is the all chests, just as a proof
Do not put me on leaderboard, because I will no want to play other categories. But I think the proof is good.
Thanks for the video, but this is not a valid proof that you can open all the chests. Viggo seems to be saying he has a route to open them all. I'll wait for that before creating the All Chests category. Also I didn't know about that hidden chest in world 3 at 4:13. That's great to know!
Also I don't think 100% is ever going to work so I think we should stick with All Chests for now.
More likely it’s going to be 100% all items and upgrades. Seems like maybe there are just enough shells to open the chests that are not empty. I’ll let Viggo explain it all though since he’s been hard at work on the routing.
I opened all the chests, with something inside, the other were empty. In the other hand I tested and you can not open all do to not enough stuff to open it. I can will all the stuff on the game (all the secrets), but I used to play that as a casual, with no timer. Because I think is more enjoyable like that.
I already checked Viggo run, and he open exact the same chests as I am. As I was telling, is not possibe to open all do to not enough stuff to open it (so the ones that will not open are the emptys).
Change my mind, gonna submitt my run, just for just, even I'm not happy.
yah i just came in to say that as well. not every chest has something in it, so there should be a different name for the category other than 100% or 100% all chests. Open to suggestions and congrats on the new WR nesmaster!
I think that category "All Chests" not 100%.
That sounds like a great idea to call it All Chests, i support that.
All done! I created the category and added the 2 runs to it. Thank you all!
By the way I'm still open for a low% category if anyone wants to give it a try!
thanks for making the board so quick! i just changed my text below in the description to say all chests in stead of 100%, so thats why its re-submitted
I’m interested in low% as well. Just glad to see other categories being considered. TY to the mods for keeping up with this roller coaster.
I'm a little busy right now, as soon as I finish my business, I will write the rules for the categories.
i echo polsvoice's sentiment, thanks to the mods and community for showing there are many ways to enjoy this fun game!
I added the chest count to the rules to help newcomers. I hope I didn't misscount! A guide would be really nice too if someone wants to do it. If not I guess people can still watch the top run so it's not too bad.
I agree with Demian!!
Since people are interested in Low% as well I went ahead and did a few runs. No upgrades or powerups... just double bubble trouble Run on Famicom using an Everdrive N8 Frame counted with Avidemux to 09:01.967
