Would that make for an interesting speedrun category? I'm interested!

I've thought about it some, but I suspect the answer is no. The problem is that there are a bunch of Metacoins that are hidden out of bounds or inside geometry. Now, I haven't checked, so it's possible all of them are accessible using the normal Ridescale clipping tricks used in the existing categories. If not, though, my concern is that you'd be forced to use debug mode, at which point it doesn't feel particularly interesting.

i think it would be possible! i've thought about it a few times, maybe using a debug file to start at the end of dustbound, collecting all of them and then calling time when you visit the slime hidden in the nexus and he tells you you have more than 500. you could check how many you have using the metashop (iirc the total is 585).

if people want to run it then they certainly can! if it gains some interest i can also stick it on the leaderboard, so if you'd like to, go ahead! :D

I am at 582 coins now, and I have seen some discord messages claiming they have 585 metacoins.

Any impossible metacoins are no issue, as people can just go by Max% rules of requiring the most amount of coins possible. If more coins are discovered to be possible, then rules would change to reflect that. But I guess this isn't needed if all of them are possible.

Currently, the Qatest Oob Slime tells me my exact metacoin count, so count checking is doubly no problem.

I'm interested in routing each level. I can go around to try make note of where all the metacoins are. Well, unless that's already been done.
