Hello, I'm very new to speedrunning and Trip World is my favourite game. The handful of runs I've seen were all Any% and there seems to be only the "Beat the Game" category here. Now there are 4 hidden Para bosses in the game and some optional bosses - how can I submit a new category to the game page called "All Bosses"? Because that would probably be my very first speedrun.
I just joined the site btw. looking forward to being a part of the speedrunning community from now on.
Hello and welcome.
We could put a new category at your request, but I'd like SeanCass' approval. Maybe you can contact him directly to speed up the process.
However, I'm not very fond of the idea. You regularly have to beat 80% of minibosses, and so 100% minibosses doesn't seem all that special, nor is it rewarding. And the game does not keep track of it; once you revisit the room, the miniboss respawns. Plus, World 5 seems to be impossible to kill both of the minibosses in one go http://vgmaps.com/Atlas/GB-GBC/TripWorld(E)-World5.png (that being said, I'm also not fond of Kirby's Dream Land's "all items" category...)
Please feel free to do runs anyway and link them here. I don't want to be one to discourage you, and maybe it will turn out to have enough merit to have its own category.
Hello and welcome :> glad you love trip, it's a great game
i definitely agree with what mugg has to say, i'm not opposed to other categories than any%/beat the game (it's one in the same category), i've even done a run that i called "Low% No Copter", it would have been no transformations at all but i can't figure out a way to get through world 3 without using either copter or fish... so i decided copter was overall the more powerful of the two and restricted that. however, the run is really rather boring and the only difference is you actually have to fight the world 4 boss without any powerup transformations.
anyway, if you have any questions about how to run the game both nacho and i idle in #tripteam on the srl irc and there are some resources linked there that i'm unsure were ever added on this site (we're lazy sorry haha)
good luck with the game! there's definitely a lot of tricky stuff ahead but it's not painstaking to grind and quite rewarding when it all comes together :>
