Here are some ideas: All outfits (coins) All outfits (purple coins) All songs (FYI, you could just make sub categories for what versions you want the outfits(coins) for.)
Maybe you could try some of the category ideas that have been around for a bit and still not been scrapped:
- All Sub Areas (get the 161 moons that can make a difference for what Cappy says if you reenter the area)
- All Sub Areas NPG (get the sub area moons that are available before finishing the game)
- Double% (get twice the Any% amount of moons in each kingdom)
- Peach% (Timing starts when talking to the Toad on the bridge in Mushroom. Get all 15 Peach moons without warping)
- No cap bounces (beat the game without bouncing on Cappy. Less skips)
- Coinless (Beat the game with 0 coins collected. You may create save files during the run)
- Dark(er) Side No Revisits (get the multimoon in the respective kingdom without ever visiting a kingdom twice)
- AUPGM (From a completed NPG file, collect all unique moons that are neither achievements nor in All Moons NPG)
- All Songs does sound like it would work out
- APC NG+ (collect all 1000 purple coins from a started file)
I have a great idea for a new category: You have to beat the game with the least amount of cappy throws. Two-player mode is banned. It's possible to reach the big door in the church without increasing the cap throw counter. At the end you will have 3 throws because of the door. But what about captures? If you stand close to them and throw cappy, it won't count as a cap throw because the animation gets cancelled. There are other tricks as well that you have to practice in order to do this speedrun. In this video I explain how this challenge works. I know I got 5 and not 3 cappy throws but I will make an update to that soon. And if you really want to know how you can get 3 instead of 5 cappy throws you can always contact me ;)
Yo, thanks IwerSonsch for putting that together, I'm excited to see what comes out!
EverettM on discord made a route for all music (all songs). Also minimum cap throws is a good low% challenge but probably not the best speedrun because if you mess up knocking off the hats of enemies it's a reset. BUT if minimum cap throws is run by multiple people, I think a 0 cap throw run that only uses 2p at the church door would be better (like jumpless does after the 2nd bowser fight). No cap bounces could also make for a fun blind race (I think). The only other thing I would say is that categories like skeleton% and all outfits (coins) would be boring categories, they are just coin grinding. All outfits (purple coins) could be interesting for routing, but probably also a longer, more boring category (imo).
All Purple Coin Outfits would just be APC + buying outfits, so no interesting routing would happen.
how about 1.2.0 100% where you can use balloon world but have to get dlc costumes
