New Categories Voting System
8 years ago
Virginia, USA

Lately there have been many new requests for new categories. I feel to settle which categories should and should not be made official we should vote on this thread for what categories we want to have. If a category reaches enough votes then the mods will detetmine whether or not a category will be made official. This thread will be checked every day and any changes will be made to this first post. Rules over voting such as whether or not the creator of a category should be able to vote will be determined by mods.

MAIN FULL GAME CATEGORIES

Any% No Secret Exits 100%

MISC. FULL GAME CATEGORIES

Cannonless All Levels Low%

PENDING CATEGORIES

All Exits- 2 votes, 2 downvotes Any% Secret Worlds- 6 votes Cannonless as a main category: 6 votes No Secret Exit as Miscellaneous: 4 votes Low% as main category: 5 votes All Castles: 3 votes Low% no star coins: 0 votes 1 downvote Keep No Secret Exit as a main Category: 1 vote

IL CATEGORIES/SUB CATEGORIES PENDING

Powerups: 2 Votes Powerups + Reserves: 1 Vote Any% Individual Worlds: 2 Votes

Any% Secret Worlds Route: https://docs.google.com/document/d/10CiwOmgdtNisco0WsiZHrA6k8fe389utu8YnDfzb-7A/edit?usp=docslist_api

Any% Individual Worlds Definition: Start at the starting arrow of the world you choose. Play to the castle without passing any stages. Using a cannon to finish a world is banned. (For example: World 1 any% IW would be 1-1, 1-2, 1-Tower, 1-4, 1-5, 1-Castle)

I vote for powerups as an IL category.

Virginia, USA

By secret I meant worlds 4 and 7. The route would go world 1-world 2- world 4- world 7- world 8. And I'll put down your vote for all exits.

This voting system thing is really brilliant, I'll vote once I've decided.

I'd just like some more details about ILs' categories, I didn't really understand.

Also, Any% SW would be warpless w/ world 4 instead of 3 and the warp at world 4 to w7?

Virginia, USA

The IL categories are simply starting an IL with a given powerup. Basically what we talked about in that other thread.

(The original content of this message has been deleted. Read below to find out the Any% SW pending definition)

@Mishu how many votes do you think a category should need for verification?

All exits and Any% Sw is great so you can count those 2 to have vote If any% SW is a catagory than we may consider making a route that is good for it

Routing Any% Secret World will be super easy. I'll have it done in less than an hour. And thank you for voting!

Virginia, USA

I think I like the idea of Any% SW requiring both big goomba and lakithunder to be defeated. I will make that the definition of the category: Complete the game as quickly as possible and complete the worlds 4 and 7 castles. Of course we will still warp in world 4.

Virginia, USA

I vote for secret worlds. Sounds like a great idea!

Virginia, USA

I also think Cannonless should be listed as a main category.

Virginia, USA

Glad to see you guys like the secret worlds idea!

Virginia, USA

Cannonless as a main caregory has been added. I vote for that as well.

Here is the route for Any% SW. This is an early route and I'm sure someone will fix up anything that dosn't seem optimal. I like the route outside of 1 seemingly mandatory toadhouse. 4-Tower just seems super slow with mini. Also I didn't type out world 8 because it's simply your normal non shell route.

I would like to see No Secret Exits moved to a misc. category, and Low% moved to a main category. I also think having cannonless as a main category is a good idea.

That's how it appears to be in any other NSMB game that has those categories posted.

Otherwise, I don't have a preference on adding or removing categories.

Virginia, USA

Okay I added that

Virginia, USA

The route for Secret Worlds looks good! I'm looking forward to trying it out.

Virginia, USA

I'm assuming that's a vote for Any% SW for you Scott. Also adding a vote for me for any% SW. I agree that all exits seems redundant. However, if the category gets enough votes than it should be given a spot as a category as there are people willing to run it. I'm also giving 1 extra vote to the IL categories for the person who originally proposed the idea.

Washington, USA

I just now thought of an addition.

I would like to see (as a misc category, until it gets popular [hopefully]) a category called "All Castles"

You go through every world possible with the Any% route of each world. It does not allow the use of cannons (so beating W5 boss twice is 100% required.)

Virginia, USA

Adding that now. I like that idea. I vote for it.
