Figured I'd post the last pb I got in All P Switches category since I'm on hiatus and won't be grinding this category for awhile

New CE proposal - All P Switches

Goal: Activate every P Switch in the game. You must activate the P Switch (or Switches) and then beat the level for it to count. Beat Bowser

Routing was a collaborative effort between myself, and brocis420. We both have runs completed officially. I made a Google Document to give some routing details. Here's a link to that, and a Pastebin that has all the levels with at least 1 P Switch in them. Pastebin list is courtesy of TompaRTA

https://pastebin.com/EBAzXyNp Here's my newest PB that I got last night. Really solid time, and should be a good guide for how to do this run. I think this run can get down to 50:0x, or maybe even sub 50 with great execution/RNG. I hope you guys find this category idea interesting! This run was alot of fun to route and play.

Been a long time since I've messed with SE, but pretty sure 5-9 is impossible as small

As some or most people know, level 6-5 is technically beatable as Small Mario, with a P speed side clip into a pipe.

However since this is such a hard trick to do, it is excluded from 97%, and that's fine with me since imo it would be unreasonable to force players to get this side pipe clip in a run. Since the level can't be beaten in a "Developer Intended way" as small mario, I think 6-5 clip shouldn't be forced. It would kill the fun of the category as a whole.

I think Rule 2 in category rules needs to be re-written, since 6-5 can be beaten as small, in theory. My suggestion is something like "6-5 can be beaten as small mario, but due to not being able to beat the level in a Developer intended way as small mario, it is not required for this category"

Then I guess Rule 5 would have to be edited as well to include the term "Developer intended way"

Another thing we can do is add a 98% Small Mario category, to allow players to choose whether or not they want to do the small mario side pipe 6-5 clip in a run. One last thing - I think it would be a good idea to allow players to take a death if they accidentally power-up to Big Mario (Or if they maybe equip a P Wing or something). Forcing a death to allow the run to continue sounds fair to me, since you do take a decent time loss when you take a death in a run

Category: All Inventory Items

Goal: Obtain at least 1 of every possible item that you can collect in your inventory. Use the items at will. Defeat Bowser. I did this run with No Wrong Warp. Could allow 7-1 Wrong Warp and make it similar to All Forts, where Mods can note if Wrong Warp is used in World 7. Or keep it NWW. I will let the Mod team decide!

Might as well just do a speedrun of the game imo. No need to make the moderators do extra work. No one really wants to watch ILs in SMB3 I don't think.
