New category to get Game Over as fast as possible?

I have an idea where the point of the run is to get a Game Over as quickly as possible. Here are the rules:

  1. Start from a new save at the first stage in the game (7 lives)
  2. The run starts at the start of the first stage and ends when the Game Over screen fully loads
  3. That's pretty much it I call this a 0% speedrun since the point of the run is to KO Kirby without any progress. I did an unrecorded trial run to see how it would go, and after one failed try, I did a successful run with a time of 7 minutes and 46 seconds. I might have a recorded run soon, but I don't really know how to record footage on the Switch. Any suggestions?

Game Over%, of course. I got a recorded time of 7:07.

I....don’t know, really? It’s kind of a silly category that I feel like wouldn’t get much serious attention.

Yeah I don't think it is necessary to have a category like that.

Yeah, it is pretty silly. Then again, Cooking Mama 2 has a category for burning a pie as fast as possible, so such a failure-based speedrun isn't unheard of. Also, nice job there, OddPandemonium

Thanks. Want me to show you the video? Because I can.

But it could be a category extension.

I watched your video! Interesting strategy with the sliding at the beginning (I just dashed). I think you were a bit better at timing damage than I was, so I bet that would save some time. Honestly, I think a lot of the optimization in this category would come from an extremely precise knowledge of invincibility frames. This is a great example of what this run would look like! Also, are we deciding on Game Over% for the category name?

I'm against extending this category. Just repeating the same thing, I don't think it's interesting.(Google translate)

This really shouldn't be added. Meme categories can be fun, sure, but they don't fit in a game like this. This ain't like the Odyssey Nipple% run.

Yeah, this ain’t the game for meme categories.

I don't think any Kirby game has meme categories
