Lately there have been many new requests for new categories. I feel to settle which categories should and should not be made official we should vote on this thread for what categories we want to have. If a category reaches enough votes then the mods will detetmine whether or not a category will be made official. This thread will be checked every day and any changes will be made to this first post. Rules over voting such as whether or not the creator of a category should be able to vote will be determined by mods.

Any% Secret Worlds Route: https://docs.google.com/document/d/10CiwOmgdtNisco0WsiZHrA6k8fe389utu8YnDfzb-7A/edit?usp=docslist_api
Any% Individual Worlds Definition: Start at the starting arrow of the world you choose. Play to the castle without passing any stages. Using a cannon to finish a world is banned. (For example: World 1 any% IW would be 1-1, 1-2, 1-Tower, 1-4, 1-5, 1-Castle)

By secret I meant worlds 4 and 7. The route would go world 1-world 2- world 4- world 7- world 8. And I'll put down your vote for all exits.
This voting system thing is really brilliant, I'll vote once I've decided.
I'd just like some more details about ILs' categories, I didn't really understand.
Also, Any% SW would be warpless w/ world 4 instead of 3 and the warp at world 4 to w7?
The IL categories are simply starting an IL with a given powerup. Basically what we talked about in that other thread.
(The original content of this message has been deleted. Read below to find out the Any% SW pending definition)
@Mishu how many votes do you think a category should need for verification?
Routing Any% Secret World will be super easy. I'll have it done in less than an hour. And thank you for voting!
I think I like the idea of Any% SW requiring both big goomba and lakithunder to be defeated. I will make that the definition of the category: Complete the game as quickly as possible and complete the worlds 4 and 7 castles. Of course we will still warp in world 4.
Here is the route for Any% SW. This is an early route and I'm sure someone will fix up anything that dosn't seem optimal. I like the route outside of 1 seemingly mandatory toadhouse. 4-Tower just seems super slow with mini. Also I didn't type out world 8 because it's simply your normal non shell route.
I would like to see No Secret Exits moved to a misc. category, and Low% moved to a main category. I also think having cannonless as a main category is a good idea.
That's how it appears to be in any other NSMB game that has those categories posted.
Otherwise, I don't have a preference on adding or removing categories.
I'm assuming that's a vote for Any% SW for you Scott. Also adding a vote for me for any% SW. I agree that all exits seems redundant. However, if the category gets enough votes than it should be given a spot as a category as there are people willing to run it. I'm also giving 1 extra vote to the IL categories for the person who originally proposed the idea.
I just now thought of an addition.
I would like to see (as a misc category, until it gets popular [hopefully]) a category called "All Castles"
You go through every world possible with the Any% route of each world. It does not allow the use of cannons (so beating W5 boss twice is 100% required.)
Hi everyone, please read below for information regarding some important changes to video proof and emulator timing.
As of September 12th 2022, runs for all categories will require video proof to be verified on the leaderboard. Previously video proof was only required for Any% runs, however we are
