Category idea: No OoB

Basically, No OoB means that out of bounds glitches are banned. (i.e. early W4 red, S3 OoB/wrong warps, ladder glitches)

Normal wallclips and sequence breaks that don’t involve OoB are allowed, though

Forgive my nitpicking, but boiler and ladder glitches aren't OoB (the only OoB in any category is the S3 stuff in any%). But for the sake of this let's say that they are. Or perhaps we can call it "no OoB/camera tricks", although that's sort of pushing a weird name and overly specific restrictions. Regardless, the route I'm envisioning is as follows:

  • do the intended levels to unlock S3 (you would probably want to do N2 Red early simply for overworld reasons)
  • do S1 Green, and N2 Red if you haven't already, as well as W3 Green. Together these will grant access to E2 for the helmet, which you can then use to beat a couple levels for the first glove.
  • from here, follow the intended path to unlock W6/E4. Get both grey treasures from there, get the garlic from S3 Red, and then do the high jump sequence break
  • do the super flippers sequence break used in glitchless, then N4 Green and N6 Grey
  • S5 Grey, S2 Blue, S3 Green
  • E2 Green, E6 Grey, E3 Green
  • N1 Blue, Rudy It could be an interesting category, but I can't speak for whether or not a new category will suddenly get added when we already have 3 flavors of any% on the board. (That doesn't mean you can't run it of course, simply that you would have to submit it to the normal any% category for lack of a better place.)

Edit: I made a readable route here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10kRj8UHxiZ9YnvWGegFm_cBVYDSDs2Z2qLsabVLTpnk/edit?usp=drivesdk From there you can copy directly into livesplit if you wish.

Personally I don't think adding categories cause you can theoretically come up with one is good. Something like that leads to having lots of similiar categories with one or two runners overall. If you think there is potential for a new and interesting category you should do a run of it to show it off. This can spark the interest of other runnes who might give it a try themselves. If these types of runs get to a certain degree of popularity then it potentially can be added to the board after reviewing and discussing it.

Now to your specific idea. No out of bounds does not change that much. Like SoapAgent already stated, Ladder Scroll and Boiler glitch are not out of bounds. The only out of bounds part in Any% is S3. If you want to avoid that you can either make a route that does not rely on the out of bounds in S3 or play Any% NMS. You also did not state why you would want a category without out of bounds in the first place or the advantages of this specific category.

Regarding the idea of a category that bans out of bounds and ladder/boiler glitches. I don't wanna sound elitist or something like that but to me that sounds a bit like "let's come up with a category and ban everything I am bad at or I can not do". Especially cause ladder glitches are optional for progression. They are not needed for any route to be completable. If you don't wanna do certain glitches cause you are not good at them or you don't think they are fun, then do a run without them. As of now the primary "no heavy glitches" category is Any% NMS, which is what I think you are looking for.
