Welcome to the MK8Dx category extensions leaderboards. Here's my picks for some categories: All Tracks Biddybuggy only (150cc or 200cc, items or No items) 100% Unlock Gold Mario Time Trials RTA

100% should be

Washington, USA

All tracks biddybuggy only is literally just regular 48 tracks with the best combo. Not much point in having that.

I would like to see some form of 100%, though! Not sure how exactly it should be defined. Coin grinding would suck if you have to get the gold glider. But then, it did in SMO 100% too.

I think some sort of one-try time trial category would be good, too. IMO it would be best to time by adding up the times of all tracks in one try. That way it could attract some top time trialers that don’t normally do speedruns because they have cartridge version.

Other ideas I’ve had: Mushrooms only—48 tracks, 150 or 200 (it’s a lot of fun from the few test runs I’ve done, but it’s too arbitrary to deserve a main category. I think frantic/skilled items would be kind of pointless and hardly different from regular items, and no one needs to run them, even here) All Grand Prix Stars—all 150cc, Mirror, and 200cc Grand Prix, must get 3 stars for each (150 stars apply to 50 and 100 as well)

FYI, though, it’s going to be a while still before the mods are ready to start adding categories and making this site really happen, so please continue patiently. Thank you all for not making 7,000 threads pestering them. Also, keep in mind that they have the right to deny categories even on a category extension page like this. Some ideas are just too niche, not unique, and/or dumb overall.
