Like getting to the credits makes sense, but it's just enternether% again

another category where you beat the boss and put the staff on the composter to finish the April fools quest that the potato gives you would also be cool, since that's the main objective of the snapshot (would be the any% of the snapshot kinda), like there's even a timer when you finish it, and there could be a lot of routing and strats too for both SSG and RSG

Could be called PotatoQuest% idk

Timer starts on first input/world creation, ends when the timer appears or when you put the staff on the composter, its easy to get a run and if people make an actual setup and not this scuffed thing i made for the boss fight, it can be great

Its really straight forward you just play it once listening to the potato, and then you know what to do

example with a bad run:

This will be added eventually. We haven't had enough time to fully set up rules and such for it yet. When exactly the run will end is currently in discussion (whether it ends on killing the boss or completing the quests). Congrats on the first world record either way lol, that's the first time i've seen someone actually beat it on camera. Really smart strats for the fight

Also the reason that the current any% is the way it is is because we like to have all available routes for reaching the end credits available to run (refer to 15w14a's leaderboards)

Thanks for the suggestion though!

makes sense, in my opinion just killing the boss its not a very great idea for a category, since you can just drown the boss in lava and not worry to get the item (it burns), it removes a part of the run that you need to think about to route it

Well in the update once you compost the staff you get your speedrun time. So the lava method only works for killing the boss, not actually beating the category. And yes there are other ways to cheese the boss but it would still be a fun thing to add to the sub-categorys of 24w14potato.
