Hello everybody, I've been trying to post an official speedrun Catagory, but I couldn't join the discord. I want some help from the members of the discord. The speedrun is Unoptimal%, and it's a speedrun where you use as few moons as possible from any%. It has a great chance to become a leading speedrun, simply because it will force speedrunners to find new ways through all the kingdoms.

Question: How exactly would this work, I’m asking since you need a certain amount of moons to go to the next kingdom, so would it just be to get only the required amount of moons or how else would that work?

You would probably have to get world peace in most of the kingdoms

@MrPokemonFan777 you'd get the required amount of moons while avoiding as many moons from the any% route as possible.

As for the category idea itself, it's a fun idea, but a run could easily become invalidated if and when the optimal any% route switches out some moons.

I interpreted this as Any% but you can't use moons from the Any% route, so per example you would still get 16 Sand moons but not the ones in the route. However what counts as an ''Any% moon'' differs from run to run.

Seems like an interesting challenge run but probably not worth having as a speedrun category.

@ely_ The moons used in the world record would be the ones to avoid, probably

if you want to run something of that nature, I'd just suggest the category extension "Double Any%" which has you grabbing double the moons in each kingdom. now admittedly there is a big difference in grabbing double moons as opposed to "unoptimal" moons, but I only mention it because if you just want the feeling of "getting moons that aren't in Any%", then that category is close enough to invoking that same feeling, without the fear of runs being invalid like RadGamer pointed out.

I do recognize it is quite a big difference from what you asked for, but it's about as close as you're going to get while having a easily understandable rule set, that encourages competitiveness, because I'm not sure "Unoptimal%" would have much competition.

and if "Double Any%" does stray too far from what you wanted, then nothing is stopping you from just running Unoptimal% yourself. it doesn't have to be on speedrun.com for you to run it, if that's what you enjoy running.

I agree with the post above since double any% is just grabbing the next X optimal moons to the original X amount (X being the amount needed to leave)

Sorry I just don't get this shit

Very good route

here's a run by Maxsterious:

i veto this

I once had an idea for a run called PeaceScene% where its world peace but you have to watch every cutscene

@Athenatos this isn’t a forum to post category suggestions
