Can we separate glitched and glitchless into 2 separate categories? (Glitchless of course meaning you can't glitch stage 6, 7, 8, or other major skips like stage 19). Could we also create a All 120 Red Star Rings category? I think that would actually make Forces fun again and force exploration from the player's.

A glitchless category for Forces would be fairly (and I hate using this word) arbitrary. There's the usual everlasting argument of "what actually qualifies as a glitch", but in the context of this game, I would say that there's no reason not to learn the skips. There's guides, you can ask us for help here or on the Sonic Speedrun Community server's Forces channel, or you can also watch the top few runs and just try to copy what they do. You have many resources available, so with practice, it will become second nature. (And, take it from a guy who has ran this game in just about every conceivably possible way - compared to what you can really do in the game with the many strats we now have, glitchless is boring. I can see that you've ran the game that way before, which is totally cool, and I'm not knocking you for it - just trying to be informative.)

As for the Red Star Ring suggestion, that's a cool idea and all, but we won't add categories without significant backing of other runners. So, if you want to run it, that's great! There just won't be a leaderboard to submit those runs to unless a bunch of people also want to run it, and get the category added. And, if you want my personal opinion, I'd rather have 100% added, but that's an entirely different discussion.

Hope that helps!
