After the run ends get the runner to go to the home menu, which lets you see what account is currently running SMO. Then they open the friends menu for that account and prove it is empty. This verifies no balloons from friends.

I think saying "Any 999 Moons, LBW" is actually a cool idea, and could be an interesting routing challenge, what moons are faster than coin grinding and worthwhile to get? Do you do 124 and grind LBW as fast as possible or Grab more moons than that and do less coin grinding. Just a thought.

Also, ban Hide It. Hide It gives tons of coins when your viewers are doing it for you. Not adding friends wouldn't fix this problem because people could and would still find it in the random list and start feeding money.

First off that sounds super boring, noone would run that except for people hungry for a free world record.

You said we're only allowed to walk. So no running or rolling, right? But you can triple jump vector to go a bit faster. You can long jump to move faster as well. You could cap dive, just dive, even just jumping would probably go a bit faster than walking. You'd have to make very strict guidelines to make this work, which would make it hell both to verify and to run. Just like almost every other "Any% but..." category on here you can submit to the main boards if you want to run it, it's just any%.

I like this idea. Unlike something like Jumpless or Min Cap Throws, Minimum Captures is easier to keep going for a long time, while at least going a bit fast. Specifically Minimum Cap throws is 1 small mistake killing a run. My one concern would be about the number of required captures. Like how there's Minimum Captures 13 and 14 for Any% AUM would likely have tons more situations like that over time. If this is done I feel like 1 set number would have to be set, or something like "Simple" and "Expert", where Expert has stuff like Wet Nut and Simple doesn't. Other than the length which would likely deter people from trying, I think this is a good idea.

For Any% (and maybe world peace, idk) this would not work. It would just mean minor changes to the route and dying at the end every other kingdom. For Darker, AUM, Hundo, all those i'll admit this could be a really cool idea. Problem is until it is actually routed noone would want to run it, it's just those categories unnecessarily extended. If you want to do this just submit it to the main boards as that category normally.

Personally I think that what tricks you do is completely preference. If you have 1.0 and a 1:40 and you can do FMS and Nut Clip really well you can if you want to. Also, a couple times this guide just says "beginner" and "advanced" strats, which is a little vague. The mecha is more than just 2 different versions of the fight, there are more different strats and they can almost be mixed and matched together to create something the runner prefers.

I believe attempting an RCC in front of the door would hit the door with cappy, and move the door a bit forwards, which would mean it probably doesn't work. iirc RCC's require a certain slope on the ground to work but i'm not entirely sure

Any% Damageless is very easy. The damageless challenge isn't about the time it's about the amount of moons you get.

I didn't realize you'd allow people to do a claw grip kind of thing, but I guess that still qualifies as 1 handed. I personally use joycons so I guess I never considered that. If you got used to it you could easily do the run in under 2 hours, it is just any% after all.

See the problem with this is that a Big Streamer has a massive advantage over a smaller one or someone not streaming at all, as they can get their viewers to grind coins for them, essentially.

If anything this should be a wooded IL category but I don't think that can be individually done.

also nut haha

Yes it is, that's was the whole point of this category and this thread. Were you paying attention?

I think limiting this behind the plastic wheel is a bad idea. Just forcing you to play with the controller sideways would mean more people could run it. I don't think people would run this very often either way, doesn't sound all too fun (even though I did 2 runs with the joycons swapped around, very similar idea)

If we did this I think it would just become the Analog Stick-less challenge, as technically you can do everything except for Left Analog Stick, Screenshot Mode and Map with your right hand.

This would be super slow and boring imo. It would probably be cool to see it routed, but after routing it no one would run it because of how tedious it would be.

SMOCE only has 1 IL category afaik, so we could just add all of them here, it's all relevant to here.

Also i'd upload ASM golds to the IL board if we added it =)

This wouldn't even be a good category extension, imo. It's just any% but you have to go out of your way to get 2 slow moons in the route instead. If you wanted to do this just submit your "Koopatracing%" as an any% run.

Unlike All Story Moons (Which is basically Glitchless World Peace minus FMS) a glitchless any% would be barely different. Glitches in world peace skip quite a bit of content in the game (Moe-eye habitat in Sand, 2 story moon rooms in snow iirc) while glitches in any% pretty much just change what moons you grab, sometimes not even that.

If you are to use the painting to warp to mushroom after using Bruncheon the odyssey spawns there, which could theoretically make this trick work, but the jump down there is impossible due to an invisible wall. The jump has been proven possible by Wet Nut Jumping up from the mainland, which removes the barrier, but as far as we know there is no way to pass through the wall without coming from the mainland. Theoretically we could then take the painting to Snow (assuming the odyssey does spawn there when we do this) , which would end up skipping a fair portion of the game, but the tricks required would be incredibly difficult and either way it's impossible right now.

The way I personally do it is after getting the bunny moon (you get it first) grab the rock directly to your left, and walk into the other rock nearby. The moon will appear from the broken rock, and you can now dive and roll over to the shop. This is slower but it's easier if you can't do the other version. From what I understand the other strat is to grab the rock near the bunny moon (to the right of it from where you roll in), hit the rabbit while holding that rock, walk over to the rock with the moon in it, then throw the rock you are currently holding, grab the rock with the moon in it, and break the rock you are now holding on the way down with the rock you just threw. Grab this moon, go grab the rabbit moon, go to the shop.

Sorry if this is really badly explained, smallant probably has a tutorial for both.

Could we add the 1000 Coin Challenge Nathaniel Bandy and Simpleflips are doing to the leader-boards? here are the rules:

Collect 1000 Coins as fast as possible You can't re-enter a stage after exiting or dying No Repeat Coins No Duplication Starting on a file with stars is allowed.

Here is the latest run by Simpleflips.

EDIT: Just want to point out this run does technically cheat, because he re-enter RR twice and TTC once. Also, heres the link to the used ROM: https://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.discordapp.com%2Fattachments%2F175272209596547073%2F423244621011877888%2Fcoins.z64&event=video_description&redir_token=bLUq2wbw9b9y3tREuDNlQJTCp8R8MTUyMjE4MTM3N0AxNTIyMDk0OTc3&v=vHlBgrx9nf0
