A NEW-ish Category

So... No grab category. Yup. Only Bowser's tail can be grabbed. If you grab anything else the run is forfeit.

sounds fun :)

So that would be: 0 Star: change nothing 1 Star: change nothing 16 Star: impossible 16 Star noLBLJ: impossible 31 Star: no bombclip, no pillarless, no CCM lil penguin, no mips star 70 Star: no bombclip, no Pillarless, no WDW100?!, no lil penguin, no 2x mips. Did I miss anything? Does not seem much. 120 Star: impossible

So in short: just leaving out "grabbing" stuff is not interesting at all as it changes very little about the actual run.

EDIT: Also: This belongs into the Category Extensions Forum! EDIT#2: Also also could people please choose another title than "New Category" when suggesting a category? Like what is so hard about making the title "Category Idea: No Grabs" so people know what to expect?!

All my homies skip ledge grabs

Well there could be a "max% no grabbing" which would mean:

BoB - Every star except King Bob-omb and Koopa the Quick WF - Every star JRB - Every star CCM - Every star except the little penguin BBH - Every star Secret stars: 2 slide stars, Aquarium, Wing Cap, and Dark World Reds.

Alternatively, there could possibly be a "max% no B button" which would be almost the same except that you could get the little penguin star by using the vertical wind. It would also be a lot more interesting since you wouldn't be able to dive, jump kick, or slide kick.

i have 2 things to say:

  1. new categories shouldnt be created just for the purpose of being there, categories usually provide their own interesting twist that doesnt exist in any other category. the category youre suggesting is pretty much just all the regular categories with some stars you cant do.
  2. this isnt directly for whoever made this post, but if any of the people that are interested in this want to, id recommend to check out pannenkoek's b button challenge video that covers all required b presses for both any% and 120 star plus some cool tech to skip some other ones.

I forgot to say the first Pole in Fire Sea is exempt.

@Shadow64 So we agree it is a bad idea ... but then why revive the thread after over a month?
