Extra Categories Requests
4 years ago
Minnesota, USA

This form will be for requesting suggestions for additions for "Extra Categories" or "Category Extensions". To request an addition to one of these, you'll need a video providing an example and a brief explanation of the category. Make sure when you request an addition that it isn't too similar to another category, i.e. not something that isn't identical to 10 lily pads just with another object.

I got one called 10 Lily pads that should be added with my run

Alright, added

I think 10 Logs were suitable to add, since lily pads and logs goes really well together :)

Also, here's the video example (run vid starts at 1:20). Keep in mind that for this category to work, i suggest that jumping on the same log twice doesn't add to the counter for fairness of it.

If mods were also interested on adding more extra categories, check out my recent thread (where i requesting a new category called "Blue" and a few extra category related to it): https://www.speedrun.com/crossy_road/thread/z8jip

@manztellen by the way, I found while doing proves playing a good rng to do it It looks very confuse, but I think it reach to 10, probably being the 10th the one I got in the milimetric moment I death in Is the last one of the video (there are somes) In all case, is in PC, I dont know you, also specific that if is posible pls

@KilleDragon if that happens during the run, seeing what event triggers first was the most efficient one. As for your video, the last log doesn't count because the game triggers the bird-catching scene the second you try to jump to the next log. If you look at the frame itself, you can clearly see the chicken stop mid-air first (and not hitting the log) for entering the bird-catching scene.

The case will be different if the chicken actually hits logs frame first and then stop in mid-air for entering the bird-catching scene. If this case happens, i'll say that as a count.

Also, i'm pretty sure this isn't PC specific case (i believe it's possible to do this trick on Mobile, i might confirm that later on).

ALL DEATHS (6): Basicaly, you have to death with the 6 posible deaths existibles in this game as fast as posible

  • By a car
  • By a lorry
  • By a train
  • By the bird (if you get much behind the screen)
  • In water
  • Because of the water current (when you go very out of the screen in a moving table) The deaths can be in any order, but you have to death with all of those deaths of the list Well, maybe there are somes would be better just to out of there, or maybe there are some deaths I forgot, I dont know, you (mods) decide that and change the list as well as you prefer, but I think thats actualy nice like that

The time start at first frame you click in in the arrow after a death to start the run, and end in the exact frame the "pause" icon disappear of the screen in the last death of the run If you death by the way with a method you use before in the run, you just can continue with the run, and that death doesnt count for the list

If you think well, maybe this category would be like a subcategory in the "death%" one, being the "1 death" and the "all type of deaths", or something like that yeah

There´s my run, with a duration of 30,8333333... seconds (30+[25/30] at 30 fps counted with YouTube, so not sure at my 60 fps-s):

10 Flying Birds: This category challenge runners to find and make the bird flying from the ground. Run starts at the first frame of hand icon (and "Crossy Road" logo) disappears from the screen. Run ends at the first frame of the 10th bird starting to flying off the ground.

P.S: vid example below

Most people don't have that mode and can't get it

Basque Country

@Dare yeah, but that doesnt be to cant be a good mode for who´s have it, no?

Chicago, IL, USA

@KilleDragon, that wouldn't really be fair because only a minority of people can run it and have a shot at the leaderboards.

Also I think the ten birds is essentially the same as ten lily pads

@KilleDragon The six deaths is very similar to Death% which is already pretty odd. If we get a category extension page I was thinking of adding a Death% x10 which could fill the place of what you suggest.

Chicago, IL, USA

@k200 interesting but if it's the same as ten coins there isn't really a point to add it.

Well, I dont know why "10 deaths" exactly, apart of that sound like a nice number, but literaly the thing is that there are those 6 ways to death in the game, so that way I got the idea of to death with all of those

Chicago, IL, USA

@KilleDragon there are other ways to die such as falling out of the world in space mode and getting eaten if playing as the gingerbread man.
