Wisconsin, USAI swore I looked at this board a few weeks ago and there was a 2P category. Anyway, I'm going to submit a 2P run...I'd say 2P should be set up as its own category....should be the fastest way to play the game based on boss health remaining the same!
Here's a link to the Bubble Bobble speedrun Discord server.

Just throwing an idea out and looking for feedback. The any% run of this game includes a huge number of level skips, and I'm wondering if there is (a) any interest in a 100% / all levels category, and (b) what the banned items and rules would be for that category.
My initial thought would be that the 100% run would require all enemies to be manually destroyed in all 80 levels. This would ban the use of the umbrella (3 level warp), star rod (major boss warp), trophy (automatically clears enemies/level), and gate (bonus room warp) items. Any I'm missing? Or should trophy and bonus gate be allowed, as you have to at least play part of a level to get those items (although the enemies on those levels would not be manually cleared)? Whatever the banned list would be it would be fine if any of these items spawn, they just can't be picked up. Special bubbles in the levels (water/lightning/fire/star bubbles) could still be used.
If there's any interest and opinion on the proposed 100% run, I'll set up a category for it.
