@FFRPro21 Yes a soft reset after each one! You can also hit continue during the menus instead of hitting new game as long as you reset before progressing to the in between stage screens. Me and the others who have done runs of it have only done v-hard, but I agree it makes sense to lower the count for the different difficulties.

We have also done bowser% using the same rules and menus. Just start the run with a password instead. I would love to see both these categories added if possible!

Lakitu% Beat lak 12 times in a row, all other rules are the same as other categories.
