Super blocky ball really is getting raided by the top runners. Maybe adding some new categories will help? Some ideas I got were Out of Bounds speedrun where on each map you race to get to a spot that is normally inaccessible. Every map has this feature. Another idea was Non-lap-count shortcut runs. Some (if not all) maps have a shortcut you can do to skip most of the course without lap count. The way it should work (for all maps) would be you have to skip the checkpoint right behind the finish line. For example if you were at the finish line and did an OOB (out of bounds) glitch that went behind the finish line and ended up behind the finish line to then cross it again it would count as a non-lap count lap. My last idea was Cutless mode where you do the entire map but without performing shortcuts that were not intended. For example the first turn in Tomb Ruins has a shortcut. You wouldn’t be able to do this in the category.

the only ones that are appealing ideas are

1. no jump
2. no boost
3. start wall

Out of bounds records are a pretty bad idea, since the time it takes to get out cannot be recorded and can vary from person to person. You might say you got out in 8 seconds but someone else may think otherwise.

A non-counted lap leaderboard also cannot be recorded reliably, therefore it would not work

Start wall?

Also bboccio66 already claimed jumpless mode is not happening.

Extra categories for a game like this seems very arbitrary, and things like no easy way to get official times for out of bounds shenanigans push it away from being added. For snocs suggestions, jumpless isn't going to happen, boostless may or may not be interesting to try out, and start wall seems arbitrary again. Boostless would be the only one I would think of adding, but I don't see any meaningful reason to add another sub-category for it. And to comment on the problem of competition, you DID want more competition, and there has always been a small player base of higher level players for the game. The problem initially was that many runs aren't recorded, as in-game WRs usually were set by known community members, so video proof wasn't necessarily needed. But as that discord gets to know about these leaderboards (which I still think are redundant in the first place aside from all track runs), they've gradually submitted runs. But now that there is harder competition, you start asking for more categories. That's just what I've noticed.

There’s literally a game of sbb called no jump, also there’s a marathon with all the maps combined and mirror mode with the old physics.

no jump and marathon don't have leaderboards for here, and thats not even what i'm talking about in the post.

also Yoikit i've played no jump for a while now and my best time was 9th on Slime Factory

I know there's another place for no jump SBB, but I still think its arbitrary to add to the lbs. And I didn't even think of the marathon place when originally posting that. So, if you guys want another main game category for the marathon map, then tell me.

Yes plz

please add marathon

Marathon is officially added. If a LOT of you guys want jump-less, I guess I could add that as well. It just seems arbitrary to me.

Ngl, no jump was actually pretty good when I played it.

But Tbh no one goes off times here as 90% of legit times get posted in the discord anyway.
