Texas, USAIt would be on the category extensions leaderboard, not this one
I think separating runs the way SM64 does (into console, emu, and VC) would be the best way. I don’t think it would be fair to remove runs that people have worked so hard on (like ILoveSMB’s)
26:0x is technically humanly possible, but we'll probably continue to find new strats
The route saves around 3 seconds so it's not worth it unless you have either sub 26:30 or something very close to that. This route is also slower if you don't get the clip.
This had been theorized for awhile, but wasn't really worth the time it saved until burner clip was found. Even now, I wouldn't suggest using this route unless you're going for WR because burner clip is pretty difficult.
How about just calling it Full Story? There are already a lot of people calling it that
Since some of the other categories for this game are similar to SMW, I figured, why not make a No Leaf category similar to No Cape. I came up with a new power up route and plan on doing a run of this later today. But anyway, I have a few questions: where should I submit the run? Would this be added as a new category or a category extension? Also, what should be the name of this? I was thinking either Any% No Leaf, Leafless, or Racoonless
I really don't see how some of the current categories such as Master Quest All Dungeons are more legit than one that requires you to complete the final boss of the game as quickly as possible. I'm just saying that warping to the credits is not the most exciting way to end a run. On top of that, most games that have a major glitch also have a category that bans the major glitch. But I understand that there's not a lot of interest in this at the moment so for now I guess I'll just run it for fun.
Hmm, what about Any% No RIWW because this is the trick that probably drives away most people who are considering running this. The route I used was also Any% up until placing FW in Goron City but instead of placing it in Kakariko, I placed it in the Kokiri Shop and did DHWW to get to the Lakeside Lab, used FW to get to DC, entered the boss door and went back out to warp to the tower collapse, placed the wind here, game overed and quit, entered my file again and warped back to the tower collapse. From this point you can go on to fight Ganon or you can purposely game over again to have your sword changed to the master sword which makes the skeletons way easier. Anyway, what in saying is that this is a pretty simple route to get down with some practice and doesn't take multiple frame perfect inputs which is my issue with this run right now.
As a new runner of this game, I figured any% would be the easiest category to start with. I did a run through of the game doing all the glitches and they were all easy enough, except for one. The credits warp. I tried for hours and couldn't get this glitch a single time. However, then I tried something different. I had seen Greenalink's video that showed how you could wrong warp to Ganon's Castle as child Link. I tried that glitch and was able to finish the game as child link pretty easily. The problem is there's no category for beating Ganon as quick as possible. I think an "Any% No Credits Warp" or "Beat Ganon" category would be great for newer runners who can't do glitches with the blue warps and don't feel like learning a 4 hour glitchless run. On top of that, actually beating the final boss makes the any% run a million times more interesting. I'll be doing a run of this soon so don't worry about there being no runs of this new category, but honestly I'm sure more people will want to run it.
For the first rabbit, you hold left and tap down once you enter the wall, but what are the inputs after the second rabbit? I've tried lots of things but always end up either falling and dying or clipping back in.
True, well if you add me as a mod, I'd be happy to add them. And if you could add me as one for the Normal game as well, I'd love to help with that too.
How about making extended categories for individual levels where you're allowed to use the White Tanooki suit or a power star in reserve or even both? It would be interesting since these are banned in the normal IL runs. Also a low% IL category would be cool.
What's this thing about taking 13 seconds off your time because of "load times"? What are the requirements for being allowed to do this? And shouldn't it be added to the rules?
So I found it kind of strange that there was a rule for Low% about not spending any star coins since this didn't change the route from Any% at all. However, since the Warpless route DOES involve using star coins to buy levels, what if there was a Low% Warpless category? Not only would this have a few different levels than Warpless, but it would also eliminate the ability to fly over a lot of the levels, and make some of the secret exits only accessible by Racoon Mario impossible, thus changing the route even more. And speaking of secret exits, why not make a Low% No Secret Exits category? With a game that's already full of weird speedrun categories, why not add even more?
