United StatesThe variables are just like how we have it setup with the Bad Ending and True Ending, which are equally different categories as well. I think the implication when the leaderboard was first made was that "Any%" was NG+ with all gems and "100%" was NG, neither of which really accounted for the glitch for getting into World 8 early and they were never made very clear.
I was just messing around and seeing how it would look, and I made test categories under misc. categories to show how it would look if we went with what I suggested (Ignore the bad ending/true ending variables since it's not easy getting rid of those).
I believe we should flip the categories around and have the main categories be something "Bad Ending," "True Ending," and "Secret Ending" as a misc. category if we wanted to cover all our bases. From there we could have a variable for each showing whether it's done on the Steam version or the Freeware version. And for the True Ending and Secret Ending categories, we could include another variable for "New Game" for starting from a fresh save, "New Game+" for starting from a 100% save, and "Glitched" for using the shift glitch to get into World 8 without the need of a 100% save.
This thread is here for discussions regarding the setup of the leaderboard as well as to chronicle any additional updates as they happen as well as to keep the changes made in an easy to find place.
To do: -Clarify New Game and New Game+ rules for True Ending runs
Hi! Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Since this game has been relatively small and under-runned, I don't think the rules were ever fully fleshed out with the glitches in the game in mind. I had lost access to my account for awhile as well, so I was never able to properly set the game up for the longest time. I also just recently decided to return to the game, so if you have any additional suggestions, shoot them my way so I can fix the leaderboard up.
EDIT: I made a new thread so it's easier to keep track of any additional updates and discussions.
There'll be an Any% tournament held for Minish Cap starting July 17th, later this year. All information can be found on the Challonge page for it:
