Do you guys think all levels would make for a good category? It would be a blend of 100% and warpless and it would be the only non 100% run to feature world 4. I know we have Individual Worlds now, but I still think All Levels would make for a unique and fun category.

It would also require some unique routing to involve however many star coins are required to take down the signs. I'll add it.

Thank you! I know star coins will make routing tricky but I'll work all that out. We may just have to beat the game then go back and then complete the levels with signs and world 4 and world 7.

It'll surely be a really cool run to see! It'll likely have a lot of route changes in the future, whereas every other category has a set 'fastest route'.

Nice <(@_@)<

When I'm not doing 100%, I actually tend to do what I call "All Castles" as an unofficial category that I run just because.

It's basically all the warpless strats for every world, doesn't allow the usage of any cannons whatsoever, and is a very interesting category indeed.

Do you mean Any% NSE?

No, NSE is a record I took once before you absolutely destroyed me. I haven't done it since. The "All Castles" run allows for secret exits, but no cannons.

I'm not understanding the difference between warpless and "All Castles" : O

All castles is cool idea too. The difference between that and all levels would simply be beating all 8 bosses, not completing every individual stage.

In reply to Mishu:

Warpless includes the fastest way to complete the game without cannons, with the best strategies using only worlds 3 and 7.

All castles is exactly the same thing, but it also includes world 4 and 6 any% (not all levels), so that you're forced to defeat every boss in the game atleast one time.

It's an unofficial category in NSMB U ("unofficial" meaning it's not actually posted as a category.) and it's similar to warpless in NSMB Wii, where you're forced to do every boss in the game getting through each world as fast as possible.

Thanks for clearing up

I'm going to start learning and routing All Levels. Feel free to help out.

I'm currently "working" on ILs but if something usefull come to my mind, I'll be glad to help. If someone wants me route a certain level with a specific powerup, feel free to ask since I don't have a certain schedule or priority.

Are canons going to count towards the All Levels goal?

The ruleset doesn't include warps, so no I guess.

Hmm... Well I guess I'll adress my first routing issue.

World 5 leads to world 7 if you beat Petey with Mini Mario. -5-C will be around 420 with mini mario

4-Ghosthouse will lead to world 7 -Bring a mini mushroom in storage and use it sometime after destroying the blocks. This will give you around a 460 or so.

The cannon would be an extra level, but we would also skip the little cutscene before and after Petey.

4-C is much faster with mini mario -Without the mushroom you get a 428 -With the mushroom (and a fireflower in storage) you get a 443

Of couse now the main issue is getting the items in storage.

Time saved with mini mushroom: 55 IGT (41.25 RTA)

This is such a major timesave it would actually be faster to go to a toadhouse, but obviously we want to avoid that. Does anyone know all of the mini mushroom locations? All I know is 1-4 and 2-C

I'm also a very good router in this game, I can be asked to route IW's and IL's if needed. I have a twitter, so go to my twitter page, message me questions. I do get twitter messages to my phone so I can reply almost immediately when I'm not working.

I will also take the time to write strategies that I know of on that google doc that Koffingrockz has provided, with permission ofcourse.

Also, when you say ruleset doesn't include cannons, does that mean it's not allowed to use cannons to access worlds? (mainly w4 cannon to access w7).

EDIT: I have already strategized W1 for best results (onto the provided google doc), and I believe it is the best way to do W1. (I've tested most strategies in this world that I posted)

Without them, you couldn't access W4 and W7, so yes, I think they're allowed but not obligatory.

Another mini-mushroom is in 3-A and potentially in 3-1 ; 3-3 ; 3-A ; 3-M ; 4-4 ; 5-Fortress.

When you say 3-"C", do you mean the castle (AKA fortress) or the ALT level?

Also, what's the cutscene you're talking about? ;-;

Also, just counted all the star coins you need in this category, they're 30. If that's necessary, I'll provide all the star coins you can pick without loosing any time and their strats.
