Flooded Plaza All Shines
Play from a save file that directly lands you in the flooded plaza. Timing starts on file select. Timing ends when the Shine Sprite counter ticks over to the next number after collecting the last Shine Sprite.
Collect every possible Shine Sprite in the flooded Plaza. The 11 possible Shines are Pachinko, Gelato Pipe, Jail Secret, Chuckster, Lighthouse, Lilypad, Right Bell, Shine Gate, Gold Bird, Red Coin Field and Delfino 100 coins.
(Can you make "Flooded Plaza" a category, and "All Shines" and "All Shines All Blues" sub categories please ?)
Perfect Scoreboard
Goal : Collect every Shine Sprite in the game for a grand total of 120 Shine Sprites, plus every max coin score possible in every world (212 in Bianco Hills, 149 in Ricco Harbor, 161 in Gelato Beach, 999 in Pinna Park, 999 in Sirena Beach, 235 in Noki Bay, 999 in Pianta Village and 999 in Delfino Plaza).
Timing : Time starts when pressing A to select 'Yes' to create a new file. Time ends when you land the final ground pound on the Bowser fight.
Reasons : It's a very long and challenging category to do, it would take around 16 hours to complete, but I find it interesting to complete the game with the biggest possible score.
Additional informations : I don't have a video of the run itself, because I don't have a capture card (and also I don't think I am good enough to complete this category with a fast time), I'm posting this here mainly if anyone was interested by this category. If any new improvement concerning a new maximum possible coin score is discovered, then there will be two subcategories of this, one being the current version, and the other being the legacy version(s).
Finally, here's 2 links to help you achieving this run, the first one is a bit outdated for a few worlds, but is very accurate, and the second one contains every record and have a video for some of them : https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/gamecube/533287-super-mario-sunshine/faqs/23467 https://cyberscore.me.uk/group/113/766
