United StatesThat might be an interesting run. Here is what the run would be like.
The first 3 furies are normal, with reloads, but once you get to 29 shines, stop collecting shines. Have a shine ready to collect, and collect the shine while Bowser is awake. You have to do this 11 times before the fury 4 fight to get Bowser's health below the half mark, skipping fury 4, and going straight to fury 5. Since you will have 40 shines, the game will confuse fury 5 with fury 4, allowing you to beat the game with 40 shines without he Bowser amibo.
Great Run! Only noticed a few small mistakes here and there.
Day 2 or grinding for this category: Our new PB is 45:08. We recorded it this time. A solid run, but I messed up on the quick kill, and lost two minutes due to not hitting the bell in time on the thresh hold. Could have been a 43 or a 42.
What if a 2 player category was added for Bowser's fury? My sister and I are doing runs of it, and our best time is 51:44 (slow, but we're working on it) I didn't record it, but I could record future runs. You have to beat the game while collecting every required shine (except the first one) while in 2 player mode. For reloads, you have to switch into 2 player mode before collecting the next shine.
This is basically tas, since there is no way to speed up the minigame itself, and fortuna never got a single octo, so this is unbeatable, but it can be tied.
You're right about the eye in BBH I realized I missed him. I didn't really think of the manta ray either.
I thought of a cool new category where you have to get the stars from the game's bosses not counting the 3 Bowsers (which you fight anyway) glitches are allowed, so you can finish the game after beating all the bosses.
Rules: You must obtain these ten stars
BoBomb at the Summit (BoBomb Battlefield)
Chip of Whomp's Block (Whomp's Fortrace)
Going on a ghost hunt Ride Big Boo's carousel Big Boo's Balcony (Big Boo's Haunt)
Stand Tall on the Four Pillars (Shifting Sand Land)
Boil the Big Bully Bully the Bullies (Lethal Lava Land)
Chill With the Bully (Snowman's Land)
Make Wiggler Squirm (Tiny Huge Island)
Then beat the game. You may have to Collect additional stars to unlock certain levels, making the category all the more interesting. That's my suggestion.
I think that level leaderboards should be added involving the king's leap, and the nightmare fight. Maybe there could be a leaderboard for all 5 of the individual king's leap bosses in the level leaderboard, and a split between beating the bosses as Cuphead, or chalice. There could also be a kings gauntlet leaderboard. For the nightmare, we would just see how fast we can beat it. I know a YouTuber who has done speedruns for all the king's leap bosses individually, and i know that they would make good level leaderboards. Just a suggestion in case you need a new category.
There are about 5000 scientists in Antarctica who may or may not Speedrun in their free time, so it was a decent idea to add an Antarctica flag. There are only 27 people in sealand, which is some sideways billboard/highway crossing type thing in the middle of the ocean. I doubt there are any speedrunners there. I guess if there was a runner there, he or she would have an audience of 26 people watching him or her play on Sealand's only pc lmao. Pretty late to add a comment to this thread, but I thought it would be funny to add something due to this thread being inactive for four years. I'm not a moderator, but I don't think sealand should be added. Maybe just as a joke.
This is likely the first time that someone other than jaq has beaten jaq's world record time. Great job!
This was an awesome run. How is it the former wr though? Did you or someone else beat this?
First official Deltarune 100% run. Very nice. I wonder what a glitched category would look like? It would allow wrong warps, text overflow glitches, and Oob.
Pretty much. unless we find a way to activate the Esther glitch purposely, this category can't be improved by much.
