The Speedrun.com page for Mario Hoops 3-on-3 has been officially revamped as of Thursday, April 19th, 2018.

What The Revamp Consisted Of:

Mushroom Cup, Flower Cup, Star Cup, Rainbow Cup and All Cups now have their own variables to choose from: Difficulty - Normal and Hard.

500%, 500% (No Jr. Street) and 1,000% are listed as variables under the newly titled category, "Score Attack".

The Dribble Race Time Trials now have their own variables to choose from: Course - Peach's Castle, Sunshine Road, and Rainbow Road.

Why A Revamp?

When I originally ran this game, there were only 2 submitted runs on the page. After I became a Moderator, I created more categories for myself and future speedrunners to run. When I got promoted to a Super Moderator, I dedicated more time in making more categories with appropriate rules. As time went by, more and more players started submitting runs and the game's Speedrun.com page popularity grew under the "Mario Sports series". After about 2 years, the game's meta has come a long way as well as its page. It came to my attention that the aesthetics of the page itself were unflattering and cluttered with long category names. After some practice, I was able to figure out how to properly edit the page to give it a sharper, more intuitive and simplistic look.

Moving Forward:

The "Suggestion Box" for new categories will be closed until more runners come into the scene. I do not want this page to be saturated with categories without the proper amount of runners involved. I would like the "Total Number of Categories : Speedrunners" ratio be relatively balanced so we will not be taking any more suggestions at the moment. We appreciate the interest, but there are plenty of categories to run. We hope you enjoy the page's new look and direction.

Sincerely, Hoopla Fish
