3D Mario 1620 / 470 (64-Odyssey without the sequels)

I.e. without Galaxy 2 so it doesn't get too long. Would anyone be interested in running that?

I would if I had the games, although right now a Galaxy 1 and 2 run would be nice

@MutantsAbyss Congrats on the PB! I do think you can justify dropping the remaining sequel (Galaxy 2), seeing as SM64 DS already isn't part of the category. What do you think?

Personally, I think Galaxy 2 is an integral part of the 3D Mario speedruns. SM64DS is a remake of SM64, not a sequel. Galaxy 2 is an entirely new game with tons of new content. I can see the appeal of not doing Galaxy 2 because it makes the whole thing so much shorter. But to me, if I'm gonna commit to something like an 1862, then I might as well just go all the way. Like I said though, I can totally see the appeal of not doing Galaxy 2, but I don't think it should be added to the leaderboard.

One upside I see about 1620 is that it could be run parallel to the 602 race, as it would take about the same time. This would give the runners a choice between running all 3D Mario games of the early period, or all "first" 3D Mario games of any period.

I personally would prefer a run with the length of the 602 to be less than 70% Galaxy 1+2

You can now submit runs to the 602 and 1862 leaderboards under the TA filter if you took breaks for sleep and paused the timer! Rules will be more in depth on the category pages on the leaderboard.
