Category Request Thread #1
6 years ago

Hey uhhh, if y'all wanna run some meme categories without clogging up the leaderboards or waiting for something to get accepted, I made a discord for it: https://discord.gg/gWRRbrU

Pays de la Loire, France

Category name: Beat 1-1 with 5 powerups Runners: Me Category Rules: Beat the level 1-1 with the five powerups (mushroom or flower x 3, 1up and a star). It does not matter if you lose them or not. Extra info: I made a 324 (34’81, i’m not sure).

Edited by the author 6 years ago

1up isn't consider as a powerup. Check out All Powerups category rules.

Pays de la Loire, France

OK but I think it's better with it in this category

Yeah, but I don't think it will be added as a category, because it's like extension of Beat 1-1 as Fire Mario.

Pays de la Loire, France

Yes but if someone want to run it just for fun, please tell me

I want. I'm telling you.

United States

Category: Any% AISSON Runners: eddiecatgaming, GamerBoi, jtknott, jscarbo99, Lemon_, KingOf_JonnyBoy and most likely a couple more, I don't remember. Rules: Timing is used with SDA standard. Beat the game as fast as possible with the game genie code AISSON or AIISON. Times below 4:54 need a video. Provided you are a trustworthy speedrunner, you may provide only split files if you have lost the video.

AISSON/AIISON is a game genie code that lets you walk through walls. You might have already saw I posted this suggestion, but now there are many more runners.

I currently have a 4:55.523 speedrun of this category, the WR is currently 4:54 by jtknott.

What do you mean by 100 quest?

Portland, OR, USA

In 100 Quest, you would do Any%, then select and loop world 8/second quest 99 times. While this breaks the duplicate rule with both quests, it does present a neat long-form challenge. I am guessing like 5 hours?

For the warpless version, you would do a Warpless run then loop Second Quest Warpless 99 times. I estimate a good player could complete this in about as long as it took Dode to do 2016 Exit in SMW. Around 32 hours?

Maybe 10 quest warpless?

100 is like impossible without sleep, meal, drink, toilet, etc.

Baden-Württemberg, Germany

Wouldn't it be possible to submit a "No World 4" run in the "1 Warp" category? The route Barnowl mentioned (clipping through the wall in 1-2 to get to world 5) might actually be faster than the usual "1 Warp" route (using the warp zone in 4-2 to get to world 8 ).

I'm 100% sure it would be slower.

Baden-Württemberg, Germany

I looked at it again and I'm even more convinced that it's faster. I took the times for each level from andrewg's warpless WR run, the time for 4-2 with warp from darbian's any% WR run, and did an RTA of 1-1 (grabbing a mushroom) and 1-2 (grabbing a fire flower and warping to world 5) to get a time estimate for that. Putting everything together I got a 10:52.9 for the usual route (warp in 4-2), and 10:54.2 for the other route (warp in 1-2). But my RTA was very sloppy, and instead of 1-2G, I went for the normal clip and got it only second try. So with a better 1-2, the "No World 4" strat should be faster by a few seconds. BTW: I found out that one can do 1-2G as Big/Fire Mario as well. I never thought about that before.

You must made a mistake. It's at least a minute slower.

But the whole thing must be in one video, right?

I would prefer 10 quest warpless. I doubt someone will ever complete 100 quest warpless, as you have to play for several days without sleep.

@barnowl, if you like that kind of a marathon runs, then a 100% category would be a good idea.

England

Basically i came up with a crazy idea of a speedrun, where every jump must by backwards, meaning every jump must face the opposite direction of which mario is travelling! bad idea? let me know your thoughts please.

i made a Simple TAS run just to demonstrate what a run would look like, the time is 05:10

11x Categories - New Timing Method

Hey Folks!

Just wanted to announce a new change to timing methods for both 11x categories. The new timing standards are as follows:

  • Timing starts from power-on/reset (or game select if you're using one of the combo cartridges).
  • Timing ends on grabbing the axe on the 11th run.
  • Time betw
