Hello,
Super Mario Galaxy is my favorite game of all time and I was looking into speedrunning it casually on my free time. However, when I found this page I was disappointed that I would need to spend at least 2.5 hours at a time in order to run this game. This has prompted me to come up with the three following category suggestions that would be accessible to people with less time:
All Powerups: The object of this category would be to collect every powerup in the game. This category would need some interesting routing and would be a bit shorter than any%. Time would end the frame the last powerup is collected.
Any% NG+: This would be a short, simple category where you would just beat the last level normally from a completed file.
20 Stars: This is an idea I got from the Sunshine leaderboard where you get 20 Stars as fast as possible. I think this would be a fun, short category to run for casual players. Time would stop when you touch the 20th star.
I hope you consider these ideas and maybe make a miscellaneous section of the leaderboard.
:)
I noticed you wanted people to tell you if they wanted to run this game so I will say that I am. I don't have the patience for any% so I will probably just run ILs for now. I will also try to come up with new ideas for shorter categories that are more friendly to people like me who don't have hours of free time.
I was wondering if the mods are going to put any rules in for the full game runs because I wanted to do some runs. I would like it if I knew what I had to do to create a run. Thanks.
Someone submitted a shell cup run that is the wr for nitro tracks. Just telling you guys than this run needs to be moved to shell cup
