So, on the news section on the switch, Nintendo announced that they are going to release "free software updates on April 26th" for Super Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild so Nintendo Labo VR (a new labo kit coming out soon) will work with those games. a) We might be getting a new version of Odyssey with more patched glitches, presumably 1.3.0, and b ) we might be able to have new categories for the new challenges or moons or whatever in the VR version.

Just thought I might put that out there. Does anyone else think that this new update will patch any useful glitches (like Moon cave skip, klepto skip, moon clip, e.t.c.) or not, and what will we do about it if Nintendo does?

So, I was doing some ILs do get more consistent at Any% strats, movement and madness, and I noticed that the leader boards for Individual Level runs aren't split into 1.0-1.1 and 1.2 sub-categories. Thing is, is that there are different strats for the different versions e.g. 1.0 Cascade you can do FMS. 1.2, you can't and is slower. This is also the case for other kingdoms like Sand (sphinx clip) and Luncheon (turnip clip). Would it be possible for the mods to do add these sub-categories and if so, can they please do?

OK, I've noticed while running Odyssey that when I enter one of the rooms in snow kingdom to get a moon or two (bloey-joey room, Rango room and goomba room) that sometimes a short, half second cutscene, will play of Mario walking in. But SOMETIMES it doesn't and allows you to roll right away, saving about a second and a half in total. Is this something that can be manipulated, or is just by chance like fast action guide skip? I've never heard any of the top runners talk about it...

I heard this idea on a FearsomeFire stream and liked the idea. You are not aloud to skip cutscenes! For example: in the cap kingdom frog section, you would do it frogless because the frog triggers a cutscene. I don't know, maybe?!
