Basically, for challenge runs and such, I would like to be able to rank first by how well you completed the challenge and second by time. Say, for a max% run, I would rank first by objectives achieved and second by time so that runs which don't complete all the possible objectives aren't completely obsoleted but are still put lower on the leaderboard.
I'm thinking about running this game. I want to have some sort of timing rules, so I propose these: Timing starts on loading the quest from the ZQuest file select thingy. You may load the 2nd quest as soon as you trigger the text explaining that it is split into 2 parts. Timing ends on walking back into the room where you fight Bikdark to trigger the cutscene.
I noticed that the leaderboard doesn't have anything indicating if a run uses 2P. This might be because no one has run 2P. I plan to learn this game and run with 2P, so if you want to add a variable indicating whether a run uses it or not then you can.
Don't you mean you doubt this is faster?

You could probably suggest them on the forums, and just run them. If they become a large enough category, we will add them.
My Large Square route: •2 in Y •1 in Z •1 in Time •1 in Space •1 in Gravit •2 in Ice •1 in Heat •2 in Strength
I'm not going to list everything, as "go through the levels in order" is pretty self explanatory.
•You want to get various Large Squares for money.
•Get at least 250 Squares by Y
•Buy the Throwing Axe after Y
•Get 1500? Squares by Curiosity.
•for Time, you want to play in hard mode. This is faster because you can skip the last puzzle by flipping the switch once then going back left.
•Buy the Running Shoes after Strength
•Get the Elf Sword in Exploration

I added the leaderboards here because I like the idea of one centralized location for leaderboards. However, the official SM63 leaderboards are at bit.ly/SM63Leaderboard. I ported most of the runs over here, but at the Google Doc there are lists of glitches, routes, and other important stuff.
