Hey, I'm just a viewer when it comes to speedruns of this game, but I want to understand them all. 120 star is obvious. 70 star is like a glitchless any%. 0 star allows all glitches, 1 star allows all but one. But what is the point of getting 16 stars? From the rules descriptions it doesn't seem anything is forbidden (although maybe I'm reading it wrong). Is it just arbitrary?
16 Star was the shortest category for a while. Then 1 star was discovered, then 0. But by the time we had 1 and 0, nobody knew much about either one and 16 was widely known, a short run, and beginner friendly. So many people know it and it is easily route-able and can compensate many different skill levels. That's as much as I know.
We would like to announce that VC and EMU subcategories are now active on the Stage RTA leaderboards (under "Levels"). Stage RTA involves collecting all the stars in a given stage including the 100 coin star. Timing starts on star select and ends upon collecting the final star. You are allowed to us
