Really Good potential for 2 new categories in the future (since new categories arent accepted right now)

So my idea for a good category in the future would be using the ATEOPT cheat code. The reason its a good code for speedrunning its because it replaces many objects in all levels with pipes, some objects get removed, and also you can enter all pipes (however the risk of softlocking or dead end is pretty high). The only problem with this code is that 3-3 is impossible. I tried but the jump for the moving platform is too far away, and sadly impossible. All other levels are possible though, that means 1 Warp and any% are the categories that can be possible for this cheat code. I reccomend you try to beat the game yourself with this code before responding to this post, thanks.

I'll repeat again, you don't need a category to be official to run it. You can run it all you want, I don't see why there needs to be a leaderboard on here for it. Plus ahem 42 categories is already quite a few.

You are just being savage at this point because when eddie requested AISSON it actually got added lmao

That was before the mods decided that we have enough categories and stopped adding new ones. Plus if you are really interested in running this category just go ahead and do it. If your not interested in running this then don't request it in the first place because if you don't want to run it what makes you sure others will run it.

dude making another forum is filling up the threads again, this is really unnecessary and mods I recommend that you close the thread, and you could talk about this in the discord or somewhere else but here

I wasnt know about this cheat code LUL Then I prove it Well, maybe is a great idea, no?

@Scrimsion ???? He know about of that, I think he just say to read the last part of the post again because of the "you don't need a category to be official to run it"

we get that you want new categories but like @eddiecatgaming said, we have 42 category extensions and they stopped receiving requests and they don't mean they have to be on the lb, you can make a discord or something

Why put so much hate on this guy? This ATEOPT cheat is really cool, and has alot of new level "designs" that make the game pretty interesting. Why dont you try the cheat for yourself instead of hating on this guy?

Apart of the work, I dont know why have to be as bad to have as many categories, no? And if there is a lot of work because of that is because "supostly" is needed to verificate more, but, well, if there are more runs to verificate is because there are more new people or more active people to run it, so, realy, is not needed to been more verifications with more work, or at least would be not duplicated the work if there was 84 categories (exagerate number only as example lol), no? Understable?

No one is "hating" on this guy. We are simply trying to say that the mods are not going to accept any new category request anytime soon. No one is saying that he can't run this category just that if he does there won't be an official leaderboard for it. We don't hate him for this at all.

@Esthetic1999 well, for once a men who understand @Otterstone_Gamer well maybe not the "hate" word, but is a bit true

For once anybody propose a cool category idea... If the problem is the the number, I would prefer to delete 1/4 of the actual categories to add better ones, at least some with "a lack of interest" and with "low runs" (you hear it AP warpless?)

Read the title of this dudes post. He says its a good idea for a category in the future, when the runs will be accepted. Geez, you guys cant even read properly

@Esthetic1999 I would think exactly the same, but the problema is the mods doesnt admit it because "there are actualy 42 categories and thats so much" and maybe like 3 reasons more, which doesnt change with the time I mean, literaly they will NEVER accept more categories in the future if this doesnt change

I apologize for my rather blunt response above, but Eddie's point is correct. However, no one is stopping you from creating a discord server and making your own leaderboard. I did the same exact thing a little over a year ago when me and about 6 other people made a server for "Beat 1-1 as star mario runs". I do have to admit that the category idea is unique and the genie code is interesting to play.

We are asking you nicely @wrboismbs

Colorado, USA

Do I really have to delete or lock yet another thread?

@wrboismbs Make a Google Doc, or Wiki site or something and you can have your own leaderboard for this category. We may consider this category in the future and we may not. Feel free to post your leaderboard in this thread: https://www.speedrun.com/smbce/thread/tiu18 . I imagine it will be an extended period of time before we consider additional categories again.

@KilleDragon I've debated calling you out for a while, so I've decided to do it. What is your purpose for being here? You make a lot of noise for someone who seemingly does not run the game. You have no runs submitted and you have no data suggesting you even run this game. You're free to have your own opinions, but to be honest with you, I don't take a lot of what you say into consideration anymore. You seem to object to most of the things the mods comment on or decide and you ignore us when we try to explain things to you and just continue going around being sassy. You also go and click the like button on most everyone's comments. I'm tired of it.

That being said, if I'm completely wrong about all that, go ahead and correct me. By all means. This is perception I have based on your actions.

@Esthetic1999 Okay, so, this account was created 4 hours ago and has only posted in this specific thread in favor of OP....4 hours ago. Now, I'm not the brightest man on earth, but I'm not the dumbest either. Is someone fabricating false support? Hmm. Interesting.....

well i invited my friend to join this site because he has been interested in mario games since like 2007, these games are his childhood but he never though about speedrunning these, maybe he will now tho?

Alright, I've been thinking about this for a while so I figured I'd say a few more things:

  • I will apologize for being closed minded. I do agree with what Roopert said about the category may eventually get added, but of course no promises.

  • However, I do stand by my point of "there are 42 categories", because that's a lot to handle for a lot of people. Again I advise creating your own leaderboard as you can start running it more seriously (unless you already have).

  • With my current setup I actually can't use my NES, I have to plug everything in, which I understand shouldn't be an excuse, but I do apologize for having not tested the game genie code. I will get around to testing it sooner or later.

These are just my opinions, of course I don't speak for all of the runners or mods so I apologize if I seem like I am. I just figured I'd clear up a few things because it felt necessary seeing how this thread is going. I hope everyone has a good week! :)

11x Categories - New Timing Method

Hey Folks!

Just wanted to announce a new change to timing methods for both 11x categories. The new timing standards are as follows:

  • Timing ends on grabbing the axe on the 11th run.
