Sorry to bring this subject back but how the other games managed to have new categories? If the game is not that popular and few people speedrun it then it will never be possible to have a new category?
In my humble opinion each game of this type should have a so-called "100%" category with a list of objectives that would be voted on by the community that speedrun the game or even members of the site. I'm not necessarily trying to impose my idea but just to propose one so that eventually players can embark on a new category.
I sincerely hope that the "Mario and Luigi" series can have its category 100% like the "Paper Mario" series.
I know that it should not only be a simple proposal and that it is perhaps subjective but I will see well in the category 100% :
- Beat the game
- All 7 gadgets from Starbeans Cafe
- All 11 golden Monty Mole
- All 8 Bros Attack at the "Advanced" level
- All Uniques Badges and Clothings
- All Sidequests (Beanstone Digging & Beanlets) -> knowing that Surfing Game Island, Spangle's Quest and Harhall's Shirt Design are mandatory to have a unique badge or clothing
