I've been thinking quite a while what else we could do with this game while we wait for its sequel (if it even comes out. No status update for 4 years or so).

I saw Galactic Star doing all 3 categories in one go, which is quite the fun idea. Is there any other ideas for what we could do? I feel the main category, Magic Rod, has already been pushed as far as we possibly can at the moment, being only able to gain a WR by a couple frames (or maybe up to 4 seconds or so with perfect execution. Though I dont expect that happening anytime soon...) is limiting the game a lot. Really any category would work. We had one way way long ago, "All Checkpoints", though thats really no need to do as you visit all but one anyway (not grabbing them all, however). Post your ideas below!

I also feel like putting this here, as I dont think a different forum post is really necessary, but if we could find any way to skip, say Sword, and save a lot of time, or some other time save in any category, that would be amazing. We've had the same route more or less for 2 years now, any possibilities of a new, faster route?

Me and some friends recently found this game, and personally I'd like speedrunning it with atleast one of them. But I dont see a way to submit a 2P (or more) run. So is co-op banned? Or just something no one really considered? I think it could be fun to run in general :P

So now that the first dlc is out, will there be updates to the categories? Like Apocalyptic difficulty? And will stuff like NG+ allow DLC features and etc? (The same for dlc 2, too)

I know this is probably a dumb question but, would a seperate category for EMU be possible to have? Like in a Misc section or so?

I know there was a thread a year ago asking if emulators were allowed in general, but I thought maybe a seperate category could work instead?
