We'd need quite a few people who'd like to run such a long category in order for it to be added to the leaderboards. As of right now, we don't have anybody else other than you ask about 100% glitchless for a run. So unfortunately we can't do that. You can still put your runs under 100% even with the glitchless ruleset still.

A lot of people who run this game aren't fond of the White Rabbit star in any capacity. To do the fastest 150 star run, you need the U.S. version 1.0 to execute the glitch that skips every other rabbit. Otherwise it's an RNG grind to get 8 rabbits (even though Korean might be the best possible version in that instance). So why not have a run that doesn't do it in the miscellaneous section? I'm in the minority of people and I actually like 150 star. Every other star is really fun to do, so why not have this for people who run on VC and/or don't want to deal with the white rabbits?

Two big reasons why we did not add MQ Any% to the leaderboards:

  1. There was no interest with the category for a very long time, including myself who originally started playing on MQ for this game,
  2. The two MQ categories currently on the leaderboards can be highly distinguished from vanilla OoT3D categories. MQ Any%'s biggest difference now at least is the bombchus early route, before that the route was exactly the same for a very long time. In addition, Jabu chus are slower for MQ Any% as well. If we were to add MQ Any% to the leaderboards, most people would not run it no matter what we'd do because it's so similar to oot3d any% and the big difference is the addition of the cucco seamwalk, which most people don't like to do. Also a fun fact, we had two different MQ categories on this leaderboard for a couple years, DDM (All Dungeons and Dungeon Skulltulas) and 100%. We actually only had one run on those two categories throughout that timespan, and so we switched the categories to the newer ones (All Dungeons and Glitchless), which have done a much better job getting people interested in doing runs.

The reason the rabbits aren't collected in 150 is that the rabbits give you minigames for the Rec Room. The Rec Room data is shared between files once you acquire it, so it doesn't go away until you delete all save data on the opening screen. There is also the fact that the Korean version of this game has removed these minigames and their rabbits. As such, 150 star is a better working definition as it is a viable goal for all the versions of the game, whereas "150 star + all minigame rabbits" does not.
