In the rules for the 100% category, it mentions that you have to get your media tower card taken by Roxanne. Doesn't that just make the game impossible? Is something actually supposed to happen after you give it to her? Sorry I have to ask, I can't find anything online about it and I don't have a way to play my copy currently.

Placing this into a separate thread to keep the topic name relevant. Now that the PC Version has come out, I'll say how I think it should be handled leaderboard-wise. This discussion will obviously go over the new content and endings that have been added into the PC Version, so I'd recommend going and playing through it first before reading further.

SPOILERS BELOW

===============================================================================

There are 4 endings to the game now, which are:

  1. The bad ending, where you leave through the green portal in 'Wheel of Eight' after obtaining 10 crowns.
  2. The Secret Ending, where you leave through the red portal in 'Escape'.
  3. The challenge level ending, where you finish Challenge Level 8. This follows on from the 'Escape' level, as with the secret ending, which can only be reached after obtaining 32 crowns.
  4. The true ending, which you get by going through the blue portal in 'Afterparty'. The portal to 'Afterparty' unlocks after obtaining 290 bytes, and the portal to the ending unlocks after obtaining all 100 crowns and 300 bytes.

The following things are noteworthy from this:

  • The bad ending and true ending pretty much replace the any% and 100% categories respectively
  • The true ending doesn't entirely encompass 100%, since you wouldn't need to get all portals for the true ending to become accessible.
  • The secret ending is effectively a shorter version of the Challenge Level ending. I'm not sure I would run it if it was a category.

I think the best way we can handle this is by setting categories as platforms, and then subcategories for the endings. So now you have two categories, 3DS and PC, with the 3DS having any% and 100% subcategories while the PC category has subcategories for whichever endings get leaderboards. I'm not sure how you'd handle this for IL's, but the PC version does have a time attack mode which would support it so I think it's worth keeping them around.
