Hey, if any mod sees this, any% needs to have a rule addition. The game allows you to unlock any minigame whenever you want by getting help from other save files, this means for an any% run you can technically just unlock the final minigame (Pirate) and finish it to beat the game. This would make for an awful run though (the last minigame is just an autoscroller), and any% is better when you have to do all the minigames. No one has abused this yet but just for safety it would be nice to have the rule there.

The rule that should be added could say "Unlocking minigames early by getting help from other save files is not allowed."

I hope a mod sees this and adds it!

Just curious

Low% rules don't specify what has to be done if the player accidentally gets a powerup. In westslasher2's run he accidentally picks up a mushroom and waits for over 20 seconds then restarts the level which seems ok to me but I don't make the rules for this level pack so I need to make sure.

Also I'd like to request more mods for SWW. There are a bunch of runs waiting to be accepted and the game seems pretty active in general and I don't run it or follow it at all. If anyone who is interested in the level pack wants to help out that'd be really nice.

Recently there's been requests to add level packs as categories for this game. It's great that people are making packs and people want to run them, but I'm not sure if adding every requested level pack as categories on the main SMM game would be a good idea.

My suggestion would be to make a new game on speedrun.com that is entirely dedicated to SMM level packs. This way we can keep the main game focused on official content and also have leaderboards for the level packs. If we decide to go with this idea, I don't really want to be the one who manages the level pack leaderboards, someone or some other people would have to do that. If anyone is up to do that, you should request the new game to be added on speedrun.com. (If this happens, Super Warp World would be moved on to the new game)

Please post any thoughts or other ideas you have here, it'd be nice to get some discussion on this.

What are the rules on how early you can quit a sport?

Could the rules for Any% and other main categories please specify if boost mode is allowed or not? There is a misc category for Any% boost mode so I'm assuming regular Any% bans it, but it is not specified in the rules if it does or not so anyone could submit a run using boost mode and it should be accepted with the current rules.

I am requesting an addition of a main category that would be called something like "Any% No Mellow Mode" or "Any% Classic Mode Only". As mellow mode allows the player to skip levels and is overall an additional mode that makes the game easier, I think it would be relevant to have a category that bans it. Rules could be something like "Switching to mellow mode at any point in the run is not allowed."

I intend to run the game without mellow mode at first and I think there are many other people who would support this, so I hope it'll get added.

So if the time comes and during a run, you need to pause the timer and the run because of interruptions, will the run still be valid if no time is saved from the pause and can the run be submitted to the site if there's a video of it? Or does the run need to be retimed with a timer counting during the pause which will basically make the actual time a lot worse?
