100%

If I do a 100% run (All slimes, all gold statues in museum, all crew members, at least one of every item, correctly completing the battle in the Hero's Well, every recipe, all tanks including the codes in the church, all canvases, complete every level/rank on Tank Masters, every tank battle including battles where Slival used to be earlier in the game, and getting Hooly's test paper marked "0%") In the future, would you add it as a misc or normal category?

I'd ¤consider¤ adding it as a Misc category after someone actually did a run, and if more than one person posted a run of it I definitely would, if not move it to a main category, as I feel that people should run a category before putting it on the leaderboard, not run a category >because< it's on the leaderboard.

To start with: I don't feel like adding new categories just for the sake of adding new categories without meaningful differences. While 100% for this game would have at least some meaningful difference from 100 Slime, you would first need to define what 100% is. Every game has a different 100%, and some don't do everything possible anyways: FFVI is all Espers and Party Members, Chrono Trigger is all End of Time Sidequests, and even Banjo Kazooie 100% doesn't do all of the puzzles.

The things you can get in Rocket Slime are:

-All 100 Slimes -Open Every Letter -Hero's Well -All Crew Members -All Gold Statues -S rank Tank Master -Canvases -At least one of every item -All Recipes -All Yggdrasil Seeds -All Tank Battles -Hooly Paper

100 Slimes and All Crew Members is certainly going to be on 100%, but from there it gets iffy. Do we need to open every letter? Not really. I don't think all Gold Statues really makes the run or route more meaningful because it just means you get 100 of every enemy instead of 30, and at lot of time will be spent/lost hunting Goodybags. I like all recipes and all Yggdrasil seeds because those provide visible, tangible unlockables in your menu, along with every type of ammo being obtained at least once. All Tank Master battles makes sense to me, but all Tank Battles really doesn't, especially the ones from the codes. I also don't think getting Hooly's test paper marked "0%" really does anything for the game either.

So personally I would say "100%" should be: 100 Slimes, All Crew Members, All Recipes, All Yggdrasil Seeds/Max HP, One of every Item, Max rank at the Tank Master, Hero's Well. You might say it's not 100% then, but really nobody wants to call it 100SACMARAYSAIATMHW.

I may moderate the game, but I'm not the only one who should have a say in this, and this is just my opinion on what should and shouldn't be considered for 100%, it's really a grey area for games without percentage counters.

Fair enough. I would like to point out you did forget to mention Ultimate Rank. Now I do see what you mean, and I can certainly do that. Though honestly, I think all Gold Statues could potentially be... Something? I dunno, I was just making a suggestion. But I do want something for the Gold Statues.

And we could have "100% All Unnecessary Stuff" Kappa The point is that it's Including the Hooly Paper and opening the letters which slipped my mind when I made this thread. And also all gold statues. :^)

If you want to run something, by all means go for it. But for a game with no % counter, I'm not going to just add a 100% category without there first being some community input on exactly what 100% means, and outside of that I have no intention of adding any other categories unless A: multiple people start running them and B: They aren't just "meme" categories but rather have additional meaning to them.

Texas, USA

Understandable. 100% Would be an amazing idea and more people might run it, but memes aside, All Golden Statues would truly be something, though I doubt anyone besides me would run it.

I've given this a little more thought, and 100%/whatever better name someone can come up with should be getting at least 35 of every monster instead of 100 for all crew members (If you'd want to include that) and all the other necessary things for full completion, Max% will be a long category I'll do sometime in the future where you get every item that can have more than one of it gotten, 100 of every monster and a lot of other stuff that wouldn't be required for 100% and a category specifically for getting 100 of every monster will start at the beginning and either end on getting 100 of every monster and then beating the game or just end on getting the last monster when the last monster type required goes to 100. What do any of you think of this?

I would recommend recording some runs first, so then people can see an example of what kind of categories you're referring to and perhaps more people might record their own.

Problem with that is I need another cartridge because I don't want to erase my current save data on my only cartridge.

If you look under used on Amazon, the game goes for a very low price. Or if it comes down to it, you could always emulate.
