As of today, a bunch of rules and categories have either been added, changed, or removed due to recent developments for this game and by requests from the community. The following has changed.

Categories:

From this point onwards, here are the following changes made to the categories:

• "All Gateways" will no longer be a category on the leaderboard.
• Blank Memory Card and Single File will no longer be sub-categories, and each will have its own separate categories instead.
• Blank Memory Card is now called "Any% (No K5E)".
• Single File will remain unchanged name-wise.

The goal of these category changes is to prevent the categories from being too similar to one another while also not barring any new discoveries or tricks from being utilized in their entirety. For example, Any% will have no restrictions, allowing the use of any tricks, while Any% (No K5E) and Single File will add varying restrictions where Single File will be the most restricted of the categories. In other words, if a new trick was discovered and the community deemed it to be a problem, it would be barred from Single File. But it would not be banned from Any% or Any% (No K5E). The only time Any% (No K5E) may add restrictions would be if a new trick also affected Any%.

Rules:

From this point onwards, the following categories will have new rules. Keep in mind that Blank Memory Card's name has been changed and will be referred to as Any% (No K5E) from this point onwards:

Any% (No K5E)/Single File:

• Removed the requirement for all Gateways needing to be unlocked. (ex, Dark Ice Mines, Cloud Runner Fortress, etc.)
• Removed the requirement for depositing Spellstone 4.

Any% (No K5E):

• Krazoa 5 Early will no longer be allowed for this category.

Single File:

• Krazoa 5 Early and Shield Hover will no longer be allowed for this category.

These are the major category and rule changes. If you have any questions, feel free to respond here. Besides that, get ready for another new age of Star Fox Adventures speedruns.
