Super Mario Galaxy Category Extensions
5 years ago
New Jersey, USA

After months of work from Timba, Claire, and myself, we are proud to present the unofficial category extensions for Super Mario Galaxy.

The board currently features categories such as Cometless, All Purple Coins, All Main Stars, and quite a few more.

The rules for the categories, the leaderboards showing the runs, how to submit your runs, and how to contact Timba, Claire, or me, are all on this document:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-jQTJOKbxH_yUUmN0--oOJDVvuOG9t4KZTRPIk3lBNE/edit?usp=sharing

If you have ideas for other categories, don't hesitate to post it in this forum thread or in the discord. We ask that at least one run of the proposed category has been completed before asking for it to be created.

If you have any questions, you can either ask in this thread or DM Timba, Claire, or myself.

I think we could also add a low% category where you collect as little powerups as possible (idk if you can beat the game without them but I think you can) the only problem with this would be that you're basicly forcing people to do hh1 skip but I still think it's a good idea

i don't really think forcing people do to hh1 skip is a bad idea, it would be like minimum captures in smo where you need to do an even more difficult trick and it's at the very end of the run as well, so considering this one is in honeyhive it shouldn't be too crazy of an issue.

yea that's what I meant at the end of the post and I also think adding damageless ldb's would be a cool idea aswell for both any% and 120

@CreepyGar It's possible with a narrower definition of "powerup": youtube.com/watch?v=gP3HyDVneNI

my idea for a new extension category would be unlock all domes where, well, you unlock all the domes, timer would end on you grabbing the grand star at the end of engine room bowser jr, i think it's 46 stars in total

Belgium

that's almost literally any% up until gold leaf 1 and then do bowser jr.3 tho

Is Space Tour going to be added? Collect 1 Star from every galaxy Starts from a completed file

That sounds fun

All Main Stars is not adequately defined. When Breadghost and I ran that category, we collected stars 1-3 in the 15 main galaxies. I can’t tell if the rules as written would require getting the single star galaxies in each dome (such as Loopdeeloop or Buoy Base).

Yes. Those are one of the 120 stars.

This is great! Would it be possible to do a minimal spin like people did with smo? It would be a fairly interesting run to watch and to compete in.

Is the Buoy Base green star required for all secrets?

(also this should probably be added to resources)
