EnglandI think this is a good idea, I think you should just add the times the in game timer gives you together, but it must be done in 1 recording. I think if rules are added this would be a good idea, idk what the mods will do tho
yeah they really need to fix runs from old versions or just make a new category for all old runs
but any% is where you do anything you can do to get the fastest time. lots of things used in any% (such as buddy push in the water) are used yet some people cant afford a buddy. I don't think it should have a separate category tho (sorry for bad grammar bye)
Lots of the Lost Desert runs are played on the old version. This is unfair due to the old version saving time. Even runs such as the world record are played on the old version; which gives the people who played then an unfair advantage. Please remove these runs or make a separate category for the old runs as Lost Desert is really annoying to speedrun now.
Thanks, bye.
its called any% because you are allowed to do anything which can get you ahead...
its still possible... like 1 single ring is boring, that's why nobody runs it (and because it's so hard nobody even dares to touch entire ring speedruns)
yeah but the point of a category is to do what the category says... You can't really have a run which doesn't follow the categories name...
the game isn't impossible jumpless. where did u fail?
If it was due to wall jumping use E.
SuperJasonMC I never noticed getting into the portal, thanks. Also, I tried for an hour doing Purple Tower but I never succeeded; if it is possible, it's very tricky. Along with that, WTW is impossible as it requires pressing space. I will let it slide because you aren't actually playing the game to do the WTW glitch.
I am routing now, nmg is definatly possible but 100% is impossible. Here is every single impossible icecream: Getting On Top of the Observatory, Destroy the Sun!, Hunting 8 Eggs Underwater, Climbing the Purple Tower, Lava and Water, Tricky Jumps and Dives, Hunting 8 Eggs in the Hecklands, Going Down a Dark Hallway, In the Water Chunks, Jumping From Grape Soda, Short Jumping Around, Swinging With Wires, Hecklands Challenge, Turtle Tops Challenge, Knoddy's Resort Challenge, Candy Aquarium Challenge, Final Homerun! and New Neocity Challenge. SOME THAT YOU CAN'T GET WILL NEED THE USE OF GLITCHES.
speed glitch hasn't been patched and it's been in the game for years aswell...
This category would be called Jumpless Any%. You would do Any% no Sun without jumping. Anything done using the space bar is a jump.
Dives, Walking, Spin Attacking, Swimming in Water and anything else which DOES NOT require pressing the space bar is allowed. Swimming in Water does require the space bar but it isn't a jump. Jumping out of water will be a jump though.
Maybe this will be a challenging, long and fun category for people who like runs that take ages.
You can also do this with 100% but it would be the longest category ever. This would be a category which people who like really long runs would do. By the way, any impossible Icecreams to obtain without jumping you don't need to get.
I hope you like the idea of this category and add a whole new challenge to Robot 64 speedrunning.
The runs made before the in game timer are impossible to beat without perfect inputs now.
All of the old runs before the timer wait for the front door to open before they begin moving. However, after the edition of the in game timer, people now have to walk into the door before they begin moving; having an unfair 2 second time loss over old runs.
All old runs can not be beaten because of the 2 second time loss in the beginning. The only exception to this is if you get a glitch at the beginning where you spawn outside of the starting room (this glitch only occours every 1 in 100 tries). The problem is, this puts you further away from the start of the map, which means even with this glitch the old runs cannot be beaten by a human playing casually.
Therefore, Sky Sanctuary can never be beaten in a time below 45 seconds, due to the edition of the in game timer. The only possible way to get under 45 seconds is with the speed glitch which is not allowed in the glitchless category.
I don't really get why a run should be removed for being casual play? A speedrun can be called a speedrun from where ever it is from.
A glitch/bug is a malfunction of the games code. A exploit/cheat/hack is a modification of the games code.
There is a clear difference. The sideways speed trick is a malfunction of the games code; therefore, it's a glitch or a bug.
The speed glitch only works if you are jumping sideways. If people do better with sideways they should just turn forwards when it's more optimal to jump at a certain spot in a run. Its an easy fix...
100% could be a different category where you beat all towers, not get all possible badges. In 100% you could beat every single tower in the game (timer is paused during loads between games).
This is Max%: You could do all towers at once in one single run (game reload time should be taken away due to different devices). You would even have to do towers such as N.E.A.T due to every badge needing to be obtained. People will even have to find the best spot to jump out of a tower so they can get the 'Get Yeeted' badge.
Max% is every single possible badge. Ones that don't count are meet Jupiter, play during the April Fools event, playing on mobile and some others which require time or anything else.
