A couple weeks ago, I challenged myself to beat Super Mario 3D World on Switch without Pressing X or Y. This made so that I couldn't use any powerup abilities (apart from the Cat Climb and the Tanooki Float.), and I also couldn't hold/throw things.

The challenge wasn't too hard gameplay wise, and I beat it within a couple days. However, I did notice that no x and y limits amount of Green stars that you can collect.

Thanks to that, I thought that No X and Y would make a good 3D World Category Extension. I'm also thinking of creating a guide if anyone is interested.

With that said, could we add a Any% No X or Y category?

I just finished the Guide, here it is: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yQ9izJmQBoBa5ssLOWxCg7Y7rLBWaV3J2vtumL1DxlQ/edit?usp=sharing

Likely not because this is more of a challenge run that is overall just slower. Itemless has significantly different strats and routing.

also it would be easy for someone to cheat

It's not that. Catching cheaters is almost never an issue for determining categories. It's more that most of the things we do in the run involve either Rolling, Diving, Running, or Cat Momentum. Not being able to do this just makes it a slow casual playthrough.

i know, just adding to what you said
