Hi - I'm looking to run 100% and maybe 101% on Switch. For 101%, I wanted to check what "obtain all achievements" would entail on the Switch version. Are Steam achievements 1-to-1 with the chef tasks in the game?

Thanks in advance! :)

Hi - glad to see someone interested in picking up this game :)

Starting out I would probably recommend a few categories depending on what your preferences are like run time, easy-to-remember routes, etc.

Any% No Major Glitches (NMG) probably takes around 1.5 to 2 hours starting out (my first run was around a 1:45). The necessary glitches tend to be fairly simple to execute with a little bit of practice. Both of the current routes have a very precise trick halfway through the run which may require a little patience to get the hang of. Doing this category for a bit also provides a good head start when branching out into categories like 100% NMG or Any% Unrestricted.

100% NMG likely takes between 2.5 to 3 hours starting out (my first run was around a 2:30 after running Any% NMG for a bit). Some runners prefer categories that experience more of the game, like SM64's 120 Star - if you are one of those runners then I think this might be the category for you! The biggest obstacle to overcome with 100% would be remembering all of the item locations, however you can use a map to start out and slowly commit the route to memory. In some regards I like 100% better because I don't have to hinge on a very precise trick to maintain a good pace, like the ones I mentioned earlier for Any% NMG.

If you are interested in the heavier glitches in this game I would also add Any% Unrestricted - with a caveat. The current WR route and the one before it are not that great for beginners in my opinion. However, Any% UR has a few outdated routes that are much more approachable. You can start with one of them and add more tools to your kit as you improve! If this interests you I would recommend looking into the "Storm Skip" route - it's around an hour long and the major glitches are very accessible.

PAL is the European version of Luigi's Mansion. The Hidden Mansion setting, which is used for speedruns, is different in the PAL version rather than the NTSC (US/JP) versions. The layout is reversed, each room has a different sequence of ghosts, and the boos have more health. This is why the leaderboards have separate categories for PAL than NTSC.
