I don't know if anyone has thought of this before but what about an All Warps Category? A category where you see how fast you can go through every warp in the game. Timing starts on reset and ends upon using the final warp. All forms of BLJ and MIPS Clip are allowed. The warps include: 2 in BOB 1 in WF 1 in CCM 2 in SSL 1 in LLL 1 in SL 1 in TTM 1 in THI 1 in WDW 1 in RR (I might have missed some warps and if I have please let me know)
I also think it should be split into 2 sub categories "Main Line" and "Shindou". Main Line is where you'd put runs using US, Japan, and PAL versions of the game. Shindou is where you put runs using Shindou, Switch, and iQue versions of the game.
Making a shindou one would make it just 70 Stars with extra steps, so I feel like that would be pointless. For the normal version that sounds like a fun idea.
Actually the minimum star requirement for Shindou would be 50 as this category doesn't require beating the game or even entering BitS but you're right it probably won't be all to great.
In case this isn't put on the Category Extensions I made my own leaderboard through Google Docs and Google Forms https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PXyeViPchrr6QXT6eWb_O-p3FnXincm-Jm1Tj2Z0wUw/edit?usp=sharing
I have have completed my first attempt of this category! See here:
any idea if there is other runners? I found a 22:16 on youtube and I just got a 21:42 which I may upload if I cant improve it more this week.
new strats developed/incorporated: BOB: lj to island CCM: double warp to penguin SSL: full reroute WDW: exit stage rather than star grab RR: wall kick on left side of reds maze
Missed RR tjwk once, lost ~20s? 21:01
