Hi Cave Story+ LB!! Thank you so much to the CS admins for making a LB and categories for this game. You are the best!!

So CS+ on Nintendo Switch features a text/event skip button that can be used during normal plot/event sequences, zone teleport usage, as well as treasure pickups too, which speeds up the sequence speed to lightning fast and zooms through the music and text! (See ).

Should there be a separate Speed Run category for using the event skip, or would it be okay to use it as part of a normal run (or should it even be allowed at all)? Just getting a feel for what works and what doesn't work, haha. Thanks in advance!!

I don't see any reason not to allow the cutscene skipping. It's built in, you don't need to unlock it or anything, and all it cuts out is the least interesting part of the run (cutscenes). To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of making separate categories for it. The game already has a ton of categories and mashing through cutscenes just doesn't really make the run any better. I'd say just go for it.

Awesome! Thanks for your feedback Magmapeach 🙂

The dog search in sand zone makes me want separate categories, since that changes how you play through it instead of just cutting out downtime.

Separate categories to split Steam and Switch? I agree. It was already possible to filter to just one platform but for now I've changed it to a subcategory.
