142,390,000 G is the max score in Luigi's Mansion (getting all rubys/pearls/diamonds/etc), but the 100% rules as currently defined by the community only requires 100,000,000 G.
Actual 100% is getting 142,390,000 G, getting all boos, and getting gold frames on all bosses.
The current 100% rules only get 70.22965096% of the 142,390,000 G. 70.22965096% is not 100%
The 100% category actually only gets 70.22965096% of the 142,390,000 G. because that is what's required to get a Rank A at the end of the game. If you click the misc. categories in the top right of our leaderboards you can find a Max% category which gets all 142,390,000 G. and currently only has one runner.
That's the issue though, Max% IS 100%. If getting the Rank A ending was the priority then you wouldn't have to get all the Boos, since ending rank is purely based on G collected.
There is a finite amount of money to collect, and the current "100%" category doesn't collect it. That is straight up incoherent. Max% should be changed to 100%, and 100% should be changed to "Rank A + Boos"
The thing with LM is that there is a max, each of the collectable money amounts is counted and there is a max score as a result from it.
SM64 doesn't track coins (only a star for getting 100), but LM does, and tracks you on it ingame. 142,390,000 G is the amount of money you get if you collect all of the cash/gems/etc, so that is what 100% should be.
Also, the category for SM64 is "120 Stars" which doesn't even hint at including getting all of anything that isn't stars.
Interesting, then SM64 100% would require getting all of them. Like I said, the category is "120 Star" not 100%. Likewise the current 100% category for LM should either be changed to A Rank + All Boos. Max% is the actual 100% category.
Well I am going to end this argument by just saying that you dont run this game, Naegleria, so you have no say. 100% shows probably the most overall skill over the whole game and it gets 100% of the achievements. Max% is stupid. So in the end, its not changing.
"you dont run this game" I've completed any%, and you don't have to be a master at the game to point out categorical errors like this.
"100% of the achievements" This game doesn't have achievements or a percentage counter, it DOES have a count for all the money acquired , which for some reason isn't maxed out in 100%.
To clarify, I am not saying you shouldn't run this category. I am saying that you should call this category what it actually is. All I am asking is that you fix the name of the category.
Thanks for the input! Yes, people get confused on what 100% implies, but we are most likely not changing it because we agree that the things collected in 100% are all the achievements.
No it isn't. Like I stated previously, "If getting the Rank A ending was the priority then you wouldn't have to get all the Boos, since ending rank is purely based on G collected. "
A-rank doesn't require all boos, gold frames, or all money collected. A-rank only requires 100,000,000 G.
I'm just convinced you're trolling. And the fastest way to get A rank is to get all the boos anyway so you obviously don't know enough about the game to change even the name of a category.
