As much as I don't like these, I think it's worth a shot

I'm not including a poll as literally anyone can vote in it

My ideas for categories: -All difficulties for Ultimate Choice -No Copy Ability (100%) -No Wing -Guest Stars no Riding -Demo% -All Galleries -Soul Melter all Abilities -ILs -Get rid of your ability and friends whenever you finish a stage (Can't think of a name for this) -All Levels -Guest Stars Kirby Glitch

What do you guys think? Should we add it? What other ideas do you have?

100% story mode only? (All levels + Pieces)

England

That would be more suited towards an actual category on the actual leaderboards

would it be main or misc?

England

Main

I've already stated in the Leaderboard changes thread if people actually run this I'll add it

Pennsylvania, USA

Another name for “Get rid of your ability and friends whenever you finish a stage” could be Drop/Let Go any%

British Columbia, Canada

quite honestly all of these sound good

I was thinking something like a No ability for other things, like UC Kirby without an ability is really fun and different maybe we could have all abilities as options for uc/Guest star, and just have a category where all of them show

Madrid, Spain

Guest Stars no riding sounds cool, I would run that

North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

Based on your list, I would add:

  • Ultimate Choice: All difficulties
  • Guest Stars No Riding
  • Guest Stars Kirby Glitch
  • Demo%
  • Fresh Start% (I would call it like that)

What I would additionally add:

  • 100% Story Mode (from Sniprninja)
  • Ultimate Choice, Kirby only (from Groinficator)

Just one question (turns out to be two): If we do run this category which isn't on the current leaderboards, how can we submit it? Should we open a new thread?

England

It would have it's own page like this

I've actually been working on Normal Kirby Soul Melter, that's super fun. Honestly I prefer Normal Kirby strats in Soul Melter over any of the actual WR strats. <<But all of them sound good! If I had to choose three, I'd pick Demo %, No Copy Ability, and Guest Stars Kirby (really stinks it could be patched out at any time though). If Ultimate Choice with Normal Kirby is an option I'd throw that in over Guest Stars Kirby.

This is a bit of a weird suggestion, but how does a speedrun of trying to get every Copy Ability in the story mode sound? Can't get rid of your copy ability until you find a new one, but you don't have to grab every new copy ability you see immediately (didn't use mixing). Ran it the other day out of boredom and had a ton of fun, definitely gonna record one of these days, optimized or otherwise =P.

Sounds good

As long as we make a rule where you can't use the same copy ability more than once, otherwise it'd still just use Wing the entire time

Yeah, guess I forgot to mention that. Part of what makes it fun is deciding when you want to get rid of a copy ability for a new one, since it's gone forever basically. Also didn't include the Dream Friends since, aside from Dedede and Meta Knight, it's just kind of a boring time waster going to the Dream Museum to get the rest.

Forgot, you should probably ban riding or you'd just ride Birdon / MK the entire rime

New Jersey, USA

That too! It's basically a solo Kirby run with the only friends recruited being for mandatory stuff, like the Friend Circle and whatnot. No riding, and the only friends you can recruit are from copy abilities you got rid of, maybe?

Norway

Best Idea Ever!

Demoliton14 Idea: You should add Sizzling treat (5.0) and Soul melter (secret) (No allies) Rules: -IGT Is allowed Requires IGT or Video proof

  • Friends/Allies Is banned -Amiibo Is banned
England

That's basically what all the JP people have been doing all this time
