New Category Suggestion: Any% Spacetime (New Game+)

Let me know if this already exists or if this idea has been brought up before. Prior to the run, one would collect all the items they want (not to exceed 100% item collection) and then use the spacetime beam to reset the events. Then, they would go back to the ship and save then reset. Reloading the save file would go through the starting dialogue and from there one would set up the save file the way they would for an any% run. It's a lot of preparation, but it's essentially a new game+ category, which I think would be fun to add. Is this category a possibility?

not a mod, but in other communities, categories tend to be added if you submit a run of your proposed category - to show what you want the category to be like.

Also you'd need to specify what items you get to not exceed 100%

So if I post a run in this forum, it'll be added or at least reviewed? I can do that tonight when I have time. As for the 100%, I mean that spacetime beam cannot be used more than once to start the run with more than 100% of the items (more than 14 energy tanks, 4 reserve tanks, 230 missiles, 50 supers, and 50 powerbombs) although regular missiles are lost at the start of the game.

We have a ROM hack that's New Game+, so it's unlikely to add spacetime NG+. Also it's very hard to add categories via request on this forum; you might want to join the discord https://discord.gg/rT2fWZt

Alright. Is there a specific place on the super metroid discord server where I should bring this up?

not really, probably in #community

it might be better to ask under the Category Extensions Discord? https://discord.gg/dbYwFS

I can't even find NG+ but I thought there was a place for it already with times but I am having a rough morning.

oh, it's here. . . https://www.speedrun.com/smng

not under Category Extensions, but still probably a decent place to mention it in discord since it seems a bit "memey"
