Since I really want to run this game, but I’m not yet ready to do a run that is 1.5-2 hrs for one of the main categories (or 5!), I have started playing around with Any% World 1 - timing starts like the other categories and ends when you touch the first Royal Seed. It could be a nice introductory category of about 20 mins in length for new runners such as myself.

Im down for this im in the same boat as you i struggle a lot trying to do full game runs still though i do try

we're working on some stuff, including figuring out individual world speedruns. stay tuned!

Thought I would revisit this. I don’t see any categories like this on this leaderboard or the extensions leaderboard. I have been maintaining my own leaderboard to track my progress with Any% World 1, as well as 100% World 1, and soon Low% World 1. Anyone is welcome to submit runs to it.
