I dont know if this is a good idea but i thought it would be kinda cool to have a boss rush category. It could be a run where the timer only runs when you fight a boss, it pauses when you defeat the boss, and your final time would be when you land the final hit on Dedede. So the timer would only run while fighting The Four Bosses (twice since you have to refight them at Castle Dedede) and King Dedede. So is this a good idea or a really stupid idea?
Sorry but that is a bad idea, given that the stages are mostly execution and the bosses are RNG. If anything, it should be the other way around. Time the stages and leave the bosses out. And I don't agree with that idea either.
You feel free to do it though and post a video of it here.
What about something like a pacifist run where you only hurt/attack minibosses and bosses?
piggy backing off Jumpy and Mugg, The categories for KDL are very well established and make the most sense to this game. Adding weird/random misc categories wouldn't add any benefit to this leaderboard.
With that said you can certainly make up a category on your own right and do runs of it on your own. I've done that a lot with Kirby's Dream Land. I've done the following that are not on the leaderboard:
- Dark Souls: Beat the game on Extra Mode with 1 hit point and no extra lives
- Pacifist: Beat the game without killing enemies (except mini boss and bosses)
- Bongos: Beat the game only using the DK Bongos on GameCube (super fun, recommend trying)
- DDR: Beat the game only using a Gamecube DDR mat
- One-Handed: beat the game 1-handed (this is hard and hurts your hand.. dont recommend)
