Well, that category idea is basically warpless with small fire but just the first world.

@Scrimsion dude, you can say directe in the momento, but are some differents like:

  • Is only world 1 . ONLY WORLD 1. Thats is only a 1/8 of a warpless
  • You have to ejecute the glicht

I only comment lol, is not th best argument lmao

This is why https://www.speedrun.com/smbce/thread/d9azy On this entire thread 12 pages long, and many categories suggested, only 1 has been approved, AISSON It's not bad to have ideas, but to make them become reality on src, they should have interest/be gaining interest, and they should also have something unique to add.

The other thing you could do is make the leaderboard yourself, and then be the moderator for that leaderboard. inmahujihu

I'd still like an update on that "all underground rooms" idea

@Lul_ecks_dee okey, I dont know about the rule that say that we have 42 categories in this category extensions lul lol, but is not a variation of any category (play 1-1 doesnt convert it in a variation lmao), is not complicated to the rules and to verificate (go to the part of the SpeedRun when he is small fire mario), and can be do it in any emulator and in the NES classic, and have the same sense than others categories that alredy are in the leaderboard (softlock%? over the flagpole? wow xd)

In all case, I can understand that maybe "Nobody has done runs of it or is interested in doing so", so yeah. A little bit subjetive, but okey.

@KilleDragon It's like doing Warpless with the small fire strategy except only do the first 5 levels The fact that there are 42 categories means that the mods have a lot to verify, and adding a new category adds more for work for them which means longer wait times for verifications, if you look at it from their perspective. So a new category should add something unique and have enough interest to be worth adding.

For "'Nobody has done runs of it or is interested in doing so'" It may be subjective But to make it objective, for all the other categories I don't remember seeing more than 3 people running the category, while the one that was added as a new category had 6+ people who showed interest/were playing the category and was being optimized by multiple of those people. Softlock% and Over the flagpole add something unique, and both have quite a bit of interest.

It might be easy to just verify a run, but to make sure it's legit there's a whole lot more that goes into it. The mods also need to make the timing correct as well. @NickySteingraber If I were you, I would do 2 things if you wanted your category verified

  1. Ask one of the mods personally if your idea is unique enough to have potential to become a new category
  2. Get more people interested (6+, just like AISSON) and optimizing the category (eddiecatgaming, jtknott05 and me were trading WRs around, making the WR somewhat optimal with 3 full FPGs) Remember, almost none of the runs here got a response from a mod here, as they are doing other things (life or verifying runs).

Yeah, thats true! I was thinking it, is not bad idea like a chagenge lmao

By the way, a question about that category: If you skip a goomba, for example, you can game over or something like that to try it another again and is valid? lol

@YourFreeChicken Edited post to add "inmahujihu" to the end

@KilleDragon Ok good point But also remember, they were probably added back when there was less people and therefore less to verify and less categories and therefore less to verify, so adding new categories wouldn't be a big problem. The other thing is that those categories are pretty unique. The other thing is that maybe those categories were come up with by moderators instead of us, (example: Anti-pacifist was made up with by RoyLT, and then he ran it himself, and then he added it himself) ok that's what I have to say here inmahujihu

@JJReed I like the idea of 100x warps category it seems like kosmic enjoyed doing it I think it would be an interesting category though I don’t think many people would want to run the game for so many hours but maybe the community will prove me wrong speedrunning for me is about the enjoyment and sense of accomplishment and the few who try 100x would definitely fell that so many strive for even if it doesn’t get on the LB people will have fun and that’s the whole point!

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 starts from power-on/reset (or game select if you're using one of the combo cartridges).
  • Timing ends on grabbing the axe on the 11th run.
  • Time betw
