I've been thinking about this on and off and recently, Pat agreed to racing me on 100% in about 3 weeks so I'd really like some official rules for the category. My idea is to get at least one star on every cup from 50cc to Mirror Mode and do all the Time Trials to unlock everything. Timing would start when you select the license, or when the license is already created and you select 1 Player for the game mode. Timing would end on completion of the last Time Trial or when the last Grand Prix ranking shows at least one Star. Switching controllers any time in the run should be allowed, separate Any% and No Skips would be nice and possibly adding an in-game time to the leaderboards would be a nice touch. I'm saying to get at least one star and not three on everything because the game doesn't have a percentage counter and after one star, nothing matters or changes, one is the same as two and two and is pretty much the same as three. This was mentioned in another thread, so I'm gonna say I think online should not be allowed and homebrew or anything to falsely speed up loads also should not be allowed either. I hope anyone finds this helpful and let me know what you think about this and if something should be changed. I mainly could use some suggestions on starting. @mods. I'll see any replies in the Morning. P.S. Rosalina can be unlocked without the need for a Mario Galaxy save.
If the game saves and prompts you to an unlock screen when you're done, then yes. The best part is after you've seen the credits once, you can just button mash plus or minus and it's a very little difference from resetting and is possibly also faster.
I think 3 stars should be required honestly. 1 star isn't 100% complete. Why half ass it? We are going for a full license ranking. My run did 3 stars
Also I may plan on routing this soon. Finally finished routing a 1-2 hour run I've worked on for a few weeks so maybe time for this. I most likely will attempt it during spring vacation. Friday Next week + the week after off. Also @friks on the license screen I'm pretty sure the color slightly changes for cups based on 1/2/3 stars. Why only make them bronze. Go all gold.
From what I know and have known for years, nothing changes. The only thing that was changed was when you got stars above your head online, but online is not allowed so it's just an unnecessary detail making the run 8-9+ hours of hell for nothing. Even if the color really slightly changes, you are the only person I have ever seen say this and that makes me a bit skeptical of it's credibility. I really think 100% should only require at least one star for half real reasons like how it contributes nothing except only for showoff and half personal preference because I think the run would be horrible and not fast at all. This is why I want a mod to give me their opinion and if the mods agree on all 3 stars, I'll deal with it until I get one run complete and then never do a run again. Honestly though, I hope 3 stars aren't required so I can enjoy doing multiple runs. I've also already routed the whole category and have an RTA route and a race route that makes one small change with only a 20 second difference.
OK, I tested out skipping the credits by resetting the console and it does work and save, but you can't skip the credits in-game when you get back to the credits again, so you just have to reset the console each time you get to the credits, only thing is I don't know how early you can reset to where it will also save, so I reset when the credits start after it already showed the rank.
Sorry to post here yet again, but I really need some confirmation from a mod about what's required for 100% and also when to start the timer. No one can really agree on one thing and I really think since this game doesn't have a percentage counter, one star is all that should be required.
I'm really done waiting. I'm gonna be racing Patrick on 100% in 3 days and a mod needs to reply with either saying "yes, 3 stars are required and here's why" or "no it shouldn't be, just get at least 1 star and here's why".
Good luck getting a category like 100% added, I'd be surprised if it was considering that there is still a lack of itemless categories, random restrictions for the item categories, and overall very poor leaderboard layout and organization, not to mention that none of the mods seem to communicate on the forums very much. My suggestion would be to just define 100% yourself in terms of what rankings you have to achieve, etc. and simply go ahead and do whatever runs/races you please, no need to wait for a response.
I can message one mod right now on Discord as of when I;m typing this and in the meantime will just convince Pat to race 100% without all 3 stars.
That would be a bad idea for requiring two stars, 1 star is just Unlock Everything like me and Pat already did and 3 stars is 100%, but we don't need to split all 3.
what were your times for the 1 and 3 star runs bt w lol (oh and how good at driving are you?)
8:07:59. You could've looked on my channel or in the history of a previous thread I'm pretty sure you've posted in.
No the link is just wrong, if you searched my name you'd see dozens of my videos.
