I am currently in the process of learning Any%, but noticed the "All Modern Stages" and "All Classic Stages" categories. I was wondering if there would be any interest creating a new category that combines the two. I already plan to run something akin to this as practice for Any% (regardless of if this category is actually added or not). I realize this would essentially be Any% without the bosses, minibosses, and missions, but I believe that makes a significant difference. This category would be more digestible than Any%, may be more enjoyable for some runners, and I think it would have the potential to bring in new runners and do well at marathons, especially if given legitimacy by being added to the leaderboards. Let me know what y'all think.

If there's enough interest in it, I don't see why not. Feel free to use this thread as a collection for example runs and discuss stuff like category name and rules. Perhaps something like "All Acts".

I realize this is a very late addition to this forum, but I actually harbored interest in the idea of an "All Acts" as well. I also agree that the exclusion of bosses/minibosses/missions would be different enough to warrant a new category, and it'd also probably make entering the generations speedrun just a bit more digestible.

An All Acts category would be a much welcome addition

I think it would be a great addition. Same rules as All Classic/Modern (IGT). Gives me another thing to work toward :)
