Die% category idea

You have to die as fast as possible from falling, taking damage or from a level hazard (ex: lava)

2 player is allowed, assist mode is banned, amiibo is optional

Run ends when the screen transitions to black

  1. The category idea has been brought up in the past, definitely not an interesting category. 0 uniqueness, it's literally one load then you jump off the edge as soon as you wake up. 40 seconds long.
  2. Why did you say that 2p and amiibo are allowed but assist mode is banned. There is no reason for this. Amiibo can only give you a 6 heart, invincibility, or show you where purple coins are. Assist mode and 2p would not change the run either (gameplay in 2p is identical to 1p before you get cappy). So what spurred you on to include that in your post? I'm confused. Did you think about what you were going to post, or just conjure up the idea, write, and send it all within 3 minutes.
  3. There is a Google form to submit category ideas to (they require a completed run of the category btw). Please don't submit death% to the form unless you have already done so. If you already submitted it, then I see no reason in making a forum post about it.

literally the run is more cutscene than gameplay

Here’s the run: Skip cutscene, align camera, jump and dive timer, split. Duration: around 35 seconds.

Basicaly, as fast as posible

  • Spin pound roll, at the better angle posible to the void
  • As early as posible, jump, and adjust the best posible jump to fall as fast as posible
  • Wait to death

The run would take longer if you had to die from damage, but it's still pretty fast, as you can die from Topper.

In case of death by damage, should be basicaly an IL of cap until Topper and without it, and then just death with him You can milimetricate the zone, but I dont think there is so much In all case, better, yeah

Oh, so there would be categories of ways to die! Lmao

I found a faster route for death by damage, take damage from the candles at the end of Inside Top-Hat Tower

The best idea I can give with this is something like "All Deaths" Having to death in a single run with all the posibles and listed deaths on the game In all case, it probably add no much to the Any% until the point Maybe this idea should be better to play it in postgame yeah

Types of deaths:

  • Death by fall (void)
  • Death by damage (any type of a normal damage that rest you live 1 to 1 and that doesnt appear in the rest of the list yeah)
  • Death by burn (fire)
  • Death by drown (water)
  • Death by freeze (freeze water; ex.: the one of snow [not sure if the are more cases lul])
  • Death by burn (lava)
  • Death by poisson
  • Death by quicksand If I forgot someone to add or that should count as an extra one and no of the "by damage" one, say me pls, thanks

Then, we can speak about 2D parts… uhm, I dont think as what can count it or if have to have something more in special realy

The time start with the odyssey going to some kingdom after the cutescene, and end in the exact frame the animation of the last death of Mario appear, or something like that; maybe better while doing TP to somewhere, I doesnt know; that have to be oficialy decided yeah At start, I can supose that 2P, assist mode, Amibos and obviusly hacks are all those banned

Stupid harder ways to make;

  • Subcategory of assistant mode XD; realy, it make much harder to death, so there is it yeah, better than sound I think

Think on zones and kingdoms with some of the deaths… And I dont think to be posible to found all in the same kingdom So thats need to be routed Nice to think about it, realy

Have to mention also can be do it without been postgame, with a new file, but in that case the most should be just to reach as fast as posible like in a normal Any% to Snow to can death with frozen water, and inclusive im not sure where you can found without postgame lava before snow kingdom, so yeah, there is it

What´s your opinions? Great idea? Something to change?

Ps: inclusive the assistant mode should make better the idea of any death, cause you have to fall out 6 times nice

that is a lie cause when you play the game before top-hat-tower the are literally 3 goombas. Also normally is with 2 L´s.

I think the fastest way to die (excluding the void) would be the 3 small coin goombas that exist before you enter the hat tower. Would only be like a minute and 30s at most.
