As of the time of posting, the categories are "any% with skips", "any w/o skips", "100% with skips", and "100% w/o skips", where "any%" is defined as unlocking World 15, and "100%" is defined as completing all levels. I think these feel strange.
- What is "100% with skips" for? If you complete all the levels, you don't need to skip anything.
- The game rolls credits upon completing 15-12, so a more appropriate ending point for any% is to complete 15-12. This might have been the intention, but it's not clear from the game rules.
- The biggest thing that feels off for me is the definition of 100%. The game offers optional objectives (make Gabbuchi satisfied with a limited number of color changes allowed), and people would think a 100% run would include those objectives. But the rules as is don't require that. The rules currently describe something closer to an "all levels" run. (A 100% run would be "all hearts", which is not listed anywhere here.)
Update: After I was given super moderator role, I fixed up the categories to what I believe makes more sense.
Timing is clarified to always start from when you press the button to enter the first level until when you collect the heart on the last level. The rationale for the start is as follows: in marathons such as GDQ, you usually have a countdown like "3, 2, 1, go", and it doesn't make sense for the "go" to be when you start moving. It's usually when you press "start the game" or something like that.
Full game categories are now Any%, All Levels, and 100% (all hearts). Any% covers both skipping and no-skipping. What was previously "100%" is now All Levels, and there's a new category for all objectives. The ending point of Any% is clarified to be 15-12, matching the other categories.
Level categories are now All Levels and 100%. Worlds don't make sense to have an Any% category.
Hello! Apparently I started speedrunning this game, sent a run, and got granted super moderator role. Given that I had issues with how the game was set up, I decided to fix it now that I have the chance.
TL;DR: Check everything for the game; pretty much most things changed, I believe for the bett
