Super Mario Odyssey Any% Glitchless?

Ok but keep in mind, RoseNoArson was asking about Any% Glitchless. Yes, there are lots of glitches/clips used in other categories, but in Any% there's maybe a minute of total time save from glitches--probably less. (Chest Clip 2s, Lake Clip 5s, Nut Clip 20s, Scooter Clip 7s, Snow Moon Clip 3s, Fish Clip 5s?) You could get sub-hour without ever using a glitch.

I don't think defining what a glitch is is the problem. The problem is the glitches in the Any% route don't make enough of a difference to warrant a separate category. Now, if we get some huge glitch that allows us to skip multiple Kingdoms, then Any% Glitchless would make more sense. And even then, it would probably be "Any% - No Major Glitches", or "Any% - All Kingdoms", or "Any% no (insert game-breaking glitch here)".

Side note: I could see someone arguing that Scooter Clip is actually not a glitch, because technically you don't clip through the wall--you just kinda reach through it by leaning Mario's hitbox over.

It's kinda like how you can collect Moon Shards from inside cars just by throwing Cappy at the center of the car. His trigger zone is so generous that it just reaches through the car. Is that a glitch? Or a feature? I honestly don't know. Probably a glitch? But like you could make a case that it's not.

okey i was thinking directly about any% lol categories like low% are a lot more special, maybe could get more interesting but has its problems as the fact that is literaly imposible to do glitchless lol only 5 of the mentioned by monkey are in any%, and as i said doesnt sum a minute in total and in the most basicaly makes it a lot easier

1: It doesn't make enough of a difference to require its own category.

2: Why.
