Lachy suggested Low% no star coins in another thread. I downvote because I feel the current low% is the exact same run pretty much and there'd be very little change.

Low% no starcoins would be impossible. You have to pick up the first coin in 2-1, it's literally impossible to avoid.

I just actually figured out how to avoid the first star coin in 2-1, but it's a (near) frame perfect trick.

You just have to be able to bounce in the correct places to do a super bounce directly over the coin, which also puts you over the pokey if you hold the B button for the duration of the whole jump, and wastes no time.

However, the whole thing about making the "no star coins" rule is pointless, because it would be the same route anyways. Low% should just be beating the correct levels without SPENDING any star coins or grabbing power ups.

I do however think that grabbing a super star should be ok, because it's only a temporary thing (you can't carry it into the next level).

That's my input <3

If a star was allowed that would make 8-8 so much easier and I would actually finish a run. I don't know though, it is technically a powerup.

Washington, USA

I see where you are coming from Scott. However, you can't carry it through the map screen to the next level, and lose it or let it ware out by then.

To me anyways, it sounds like it would be the same concept as collecting 100 coins for a 1-Up, and calling the 1-Up a power up (or even a green mushroom if you will). It only gives you lives, it doesn't effect your overall performance in all the levels throughout the run of the game as a whole. It only allows for an extra death and, as we know, deaths in all the levels (in Low%) are slower than just taking it a little safe.

This is why I would think the Super Star is okay to use. It is a temporary power up, and is impossible to carry on to the next level.

I meant make my thread about low% to be an IL category not a main category you misunderstood me

@LightOfEon what you said at the start of comment was something to do with it giving you a better performance ability the super star is technically better than the shell as it makes you invincible for however long and you jump higher and run faster so the super star is technically a power up, well thats my assumption because i never used it at all if it was aloud then that would make 8-8 so much more easier but the rules state no power ups (small mario only) so i doubt it is allowed. Mishu help me here

I wouldn't allow super stars, unlike 1-Ups, they directly change the gameplay itself.

True that, we choose to "eventually" pick star coins, so that's not a strict low%.

Hearing others' opinion will help.

I vote to keep NSE as a main category.

Virginia, USA

Thank you! Vote added.

Italy

Nice!

Once the any% column thing is done, all the requests will be taken into consideration.

Virginia, USA

I vote for low% to be a main category. I learned the category and it is absolutely amazing and everyone should run it.

Australia

I agree me and koffing have completely created an amazing route and believe some day low% will have a sub 30 time (low% is technically any% with 4 more levels)

Low% no star coins is still there is this what you want? I never said it as a main category. Who also wants to join in with racing? Insert kappa here

So since voting hasn't happened for at least one month now. Can we make the (atleast half) of the categories with the most votes become a thing now?

Italy

As LightOfEon said, if there's anyone s t i l l desiring to run said categories, they'll be added.

Italy

Made a thread to submit new categories runs ->http://www.speedrun.com/nsmbds/thread/f2mwz/1#k2o41

Made other requested changements to the leaderboards:

-Moved Any% No Secret Exit from main to misc 4+ / 1- (3+)

-Moved Cannonless from misc to main 6+ / 0- (6+)

-Moved Low% from misc to main 5+ / 0- (5+)

Here's my opinion. I see NSE as "Warpless" in a way. And Cannonless as "Some warps, but not all warps." However, since Cannonless is already a main category, I will not downvote it. But I would like to vote for NSE being a main category as well. I think Any SW is incredible, but realistically it should be misc. Most everyone disagrees with me, but I believe Low% should be misc. Oh well. All levels is a pretty solid category. As for All Exits, I agree with Walrus. It should be misc. Here are my votes:

Any% NSE: Main Category Any% SW: Misc Category All Levels: Main Category All Exits: Misc Category
