I've been wondering for a while about this, so I guess it's time to ask. Will we get a level leaderboard? My guess how it would work would be every Kingdom had its own in it. It would make sharing times easy, let you see differing approaches to routes, and just to compete for WR. Any Thoughts?
I actually already got a bunch of different ideas for stage RTA:
- Any% - Start by arriving at the kingdom for the first time, and collect the moons required to leave. Timing ends with the cutscene of the odyssey filling up.
- Peace - Start by arriving at the kingdom for the first time, and collect the multi-moon corresponding to Toadette's "World Peace" achievement. Timing ends with the grab of the multimoon.
- First-trip - Start by arriving at the kingdom for the first time, and collect every moon available before beating the game. Timing ends with the cutscene of the odyssey filling up.
- 100% (controversial) - Start by arriving at the kingdom for the first time, collect any set of moons and regional coins, and trigger the cutscene of the odyssey filling up. Then load a save file where the same set of moons and regional coins have been collected, and collect all the remaining moons and regional coins in the kingdom. End by triggering the odyssey cutscene again. To verify, open the map and see a star next to both the moon count and the regional coin count of the kingdom.
- All regional coins (new) - Start by entering the kingdom on any file where no regional coins have been collected. Collect all regional coins.
- For boss levels like Moon and Darker Side: different categories of completing the stage with or without certain skips
First-trip and All regional coins also sound like interesting full-game categories to me
Why not have 100% just be collect all moons and regional coins in the kingdom in one trip?
Not possible, unless you allow collecting greyed out moons, which would be faster but not as glamourous. Even then you got trouble redoing some moons for e.g. kingdom peace
Any % and Peace seem alright but some of them just wouldn't work well. Purple Coins sounds fun though.
