We now have a category extensions board for DKCR/3D/HD, shared with the Tropical Freeze community. This has boards for a bunch of category ideas we've had, as well as boards for running both games back to back. Relevant to DKCR is that the rather obscure Fun Patch category for DKCR Wii has been fully migrated to the CE board, as it ended up being really out of place with the other six categories and never got too much attention. Additionally, the categories on the main pages for the DKCRs have been reorganised, with Mirror Mode and 200% being swapped, and Mirror Mode and File Completion being promoted from miscellaneous categories to main categories.

In addition to this, there has been a significant rule change to Full Worlds. Previously, the All Stages/Puzzles categories required you to collect all KONG Letters and also start with the first level and end with the boss (though oddly you could do the other levels in any order). On the Any% side, you were also previously not allowed to use key paths outside of Ruins, Cave and Factory (where they're used in the full run). These restrictions have all been removed. Although these do render the existing runs rather obsolete, keep in mind that a significant rule change allowing for faster times also took place in 2022 (allowing runs from a completed file), and no runs have been submitted since then. One of the category extensions (All Stages NG+) plays into the AS/AP rule change; a run of this category effectively provides you with a full set of All Stages Full World times.

As some players may still want to do these world runs with KONG Letters included, the CE board has categories for RTA-Style Full Worlds, which replicate the conditions from a full-game RTA run. This should also make it easier than ever to submit to Full World boards and hopefully fill them up a bit :)
