Unlike All Castles, No Secret Exits basically means no secret exits with the exception of one level that can't be progressed without it. The category also doesn't go through all castles as you have an option to choose either world. All Castles, you get to use secret exits as long as you're not skipping any castles.

You can't? Don't you just hold ZL throughout overworld movement to play as Nabbit? Even throughout overworld cutscenes?

California, USAMchan3388 years ago

I did mention that you can use Boost Mode for Nabbit categories as some things are impossible to do without flying power-ups

California, USAMchan3388 years ago

Gotcha. Now I'll need some help to finish the leaderboard while I am busy with other things.

California, USAMchan3388 years ago

Yeah. But it'll take a while for me to complete the level leaderboard due to me being caught up with school work.

Hey, I think the run types for 11 exits should be in "Sub categories" instead of extra variables for some who prefer to not use certain tricks to get through 11 exits faster. Like me, I like to beat all 11 levels as fast as I can without using any crazy glitches. I think that should apply for 96 exits there are now really crazy glitches to get through some levels quicker, such as duplicating blocks for Yoshi wings.

Alright! I just created some sub categories for all categories because some people (like me) prefer to not use Nabbit when playing the game.

Hey @Flesh177. I've been very busy with school, as well as some other things. It'll take me a while for me to finish the leaderboard for this game. I will eventually add the "No secret exits" category once I get around to it.

California, USAMchan3388 years ago

There's only very few levels in the game that don't provide anything that's needed to get everything unless you use boost-mode.

Hey guys, I have an "All Castles" category for New Super Luigi U which I think would be cool to see for this game as well since both games are identical in terms of routing.

California, USAMchan3388 years ago

All levels will either start as big or small Luigi unless level doesn't provide you the proper power-up.

California, USAMchan3388 years ago

There we go. You may start each level either big or small and you can collect power-ups in the levels. If there's a level where you can't 100% without the proper item, then you may start with that item.

California, USAMchan3388 years ago

I'll get to those as soon as I can. There's a lot of levels in the game so it's really hard complete the whole level leaderboard.

California, USAMchan3388 years ago

Got it! It'll take me a while to get all the levels.

I'd like to see a category for this game for "All Castles" where runners have to complete each world as fast as possible. Kind of similar to NSMB and NSMBW's cannonless runs and SMB3's warpless runs.

Hey guys, I just created a learderboard for the GBA version of A Link To The Past for anyone interested in running this version. http://www.speedrun.com/The_Legend_of_Zelda_A_Link_To_The_Past_GBA

Now the GBA version includes the Four Swords game attached to it as well as Palace of the Four Swords. However because Four Swords is only a 4-player game and you need to beat that game in order to access the Palace of the Four Swords dungeon, my definition of the 100% category of this game would be to 100% it how you would normally do it in the SNES version. So, therefore saying, "SNES 100%"

California, USAMchan3388 years ago

A Link To The Past for the GBA is a much different game to speedrun. The game features less lag than SNES, much faster text speed but less glitches. You can still perform bomb jumps but other tricks such as item dashing, fake flippers, super speed, and mirror blocks are taken away. You also cannot perform the trick in East Palace where you can spawn only 2 stalfos in the stalfos room. Other than that, I'd say this would be interesting if more people ran the game other than myself and a few others.
