A couple days ago specialkid420 suggested a category known as 9-1 any%/cannonless. Basically you have to get all the star coins in w1 then use the w2 cannon to go to w5 and so-on. Then you complete 9-1 after the credits. I used the w1 cannon and he said it was okay so we might need to clarify the rules to see if my run was valid or not. I got a 49:42 for any%
I’d love to see this become an interesting meme category that can hopefully get more competitive sometime.
Oh and obviously for 9-1 cannonless you would get all the coins in w1 and beat the game with the normal cannonless route + doing 9-1.
9-1 any% sounds like a cool idea, I'm down. As for 9-1 cannonless, that's kind of getting into what I would consider to be too arbitrary, so that probably won't be added unless it really catches on.
That makes sense. I might do a run of it if I’m bored one day just for fun and post it here. But anyways I really hope that 9-1 any% can become something that’s semi-competitive like any% no w5.
