Haha well mchan submitted a run and it was approved and he uses them in any%. I don't really think they should be allowed for nabbit any% or in non-2player runs in general. If you allow boost blocks then the optimal run becomes a co-op run and also will become someone creating a path to run on for boost blocks for the whole level. This can actually be pretty cool and there's a run i saw awhile ago on niconico using boost blocks that was a fun watch, but it just seems like a different category.
What do you guys think? Should nabbit category be Nabbit + Boost and be changed to co-op?
He was the one who approved it.
Personally, I prefer using the Gamepad controller, so Boost Mode is not an option for me. Also, I don't feel like I'm good enough (yet) to do much serious running without Nabbit's invincibility. I would be disappointed if I was unable to submit a competitive Nabbit+Gamepad run.
One more note: I just thought about this, and actually, either an Acorn or Boost Mode is required to reach the secret exit in 1-2 (which leads to the biggest skip in the game). That is most likely why Boost Mode was used.
The SMG mods did it with that game. So there's gotta be some way to do it here. And yes, a Nabbit only run is impossible in 100% as you have to catch him 7 times.
So then, can we remove the Nabbit only categories?
A majority seem to not see a point in them. We also keep finding more and more reasons to remove it.
If boost mode is used, technically it's two controllers, which should be considered co-op. Co-op would make a great category. It would remove the need for sub categories.
But I still think the Nabbit only ones should just be removed as a whole. Keep the IL ones though.
With your consent?
im fine with that, for what its worth in nsmbu i ended up creating a misc category for boost blocks since a user wanted to use them.
If you're gonna rename it as "Co-op", that just defeats the purpose of using Nabbit throughout the whole run. I have a Nabbit only run because I'm using Nabbit only throughout the whole run. Co-Op is a different story then Nabbit only.
It's fine to use Nabbit only...
It's considered Co-Op because it takes two controllers to do any run with Boost Mode.
If boost mode wasn't used, then the run would still be considered solo.
Could make it a totally different category (as a misc) like it is in NSMB U "Any% Boost Mode" where the same rules apply. Or "100% Boost Mode" is perfectly acceptable as well.
I'm sorry MarioManTAW,
I've looked into the problem myself. When you have posted runs in the past, you provided a screenshot instead of video footage, and they were later moved over to the rejected list, and this was done before I even became a moderator.
It's a rule that you need to provide specific video footage to be able to get accepted into the IL leaderboard. I think it should be made clear though, so I will make sure this happens.
It's true that he has a video with some of the ILs that he did. But due to some changes that I made with the leaderboard, it shows that his PBs are there for his profile but not on the leaderboard itself.
