I was about to speedrun this game but I was kinda disappointed that Any% is literally NG+. I expected Any% to be something like unlocking all levels by earning stars from any of the levels and then finishing the run by completing King's Castle, but instead I just saw runners have all the levels unlocked and spam pause and next level to the end. That imo just ruins the actual challenge. (you can choose to separate Any% into NG and NG+) The closest thing to my proposed Any% is the All Levels category which I'm not really interested to speedrun.

I found this glitch wherein during a speed boost (from wings, headstart, or powerup,) you keep jumping and sliding until the boost runs out and still keep the speed from the boost. Catching up with the conserved speed is hard tbh, but it can make a WR with a great time save. Should this be allowed?
