New category: All Cutscenes. Watch all cutscenes in their entirety, uninterrupted by other cutscenes. All cutscenes only need to be watched in full once. Shine spawn cutscenes do not count.

List of Cutscenes: https://pastebin.com/9T61W70H

Run:

Timing starts on console reset, as the pre-title screen cutscene needs to be watched. Timing ends after the line, "The vacation starts now," before the credits.

Optional, but recommended last rule: you must hate yourself.

Hello,

I would like to propose a category extension called Any%n't. In the run, you start with a completed any% file with nothing else done on it, and proceed to collect every shine not obtained in an any% run. This includes all the blue coins, all delfino shines, episode 8 shines, hidden shines, 100 coin shines, Gelato 1-6, Bianco 1, and Pinna 5. Timing starts upon file select, and ends when your shine count displays 120. You do not have to defeat bowser, as it is done in any%.

I'm proposing this for two reasons: 1) it features the latter half of 120 runs, which a lot of people enjoy, and 2) it provides an interesting routing opportunity.

Here's a link to my awful first run:

If there are anymore questions, feel free to let me know.

Best, GB

Hi!

I just completed the game casually for the first time, and I was wondering how load zones in the Temple of the Ocean King worked. Is it that, for each floor, the loading zones are always there and, if we could glitch out of bounds into them, we could theoretically get to floors in the temple early? Or is it that you need to complete dungeons for the loading zones to appear?

Thanks!
