Important to note: You can not just blindly mash B, as you will just keep throwing the bomb instead

I have now edited all any% runs to include version

You kill the bosses so fast the extra health they have is meaningless

Meta Knightmare, MKU, Dedede Tour, MKR and Guest Stars all involve playing through levels as if you're playing the game normally and take an amount of time that is close to a full playthrough. I believe they all also have credits. Boss Rushes are just boss rushes.

New final Boss route: We now use Wind Bomb

Also a small strat for Dedede's Castle

Arenas and True Arenas have always been considered misc. As they're not really beating the game in any way while Guest Stars is basically beating the game. We are not making a Kirby category as it would be stupid to remove it and all the times on it if it where to be patched. Even if it wasn't patched it's not the intended way to play at all and it's only accessed with a glitch.

Yes

Yes as long as we can see the run in its entirety

Added a few things:

-Added an image in the any% rules to make the end timing clearer -Added 100% -Added Guest Stars -Added a variable for version (I'll edit all the runs to include version at some point)

Things that are staying:

-Amiibo will still be banned -Multiplayer will still be banned -Kirby in Guest Stars glitch will be banned in all categories -Video proof for full game and image proof for igt will still be required

Things that are subject to change:

-If it turns out no one is interested in the 2 boards for Guest Stars we'll combine them into one -If by the final update Kirby in Guest Stars is still not patched we may allow him for 100% -There is currently no All Big Pieces + Switches category as it is already a part of 100%. If people are interested in running this without the rest of the modes required for 100% I'll add it -If in a future update some tricks get patched I may allow 1.0.0 (Depending on what tricks get patched)

Edit: I will not add any other categories unless multiple people have run them and with video proof Edit 2: With the amount of errors in uploading videos and timing, there's no way we're not enforcing video proof

I made a poll so I know what people generally want

https://www.strawpoll.me/15395634

Things that are definite:

• We will not make a leaderboard for every single character
• Kirby will be banned
• We are not going to ban riding or using the Friend Rod

This poll may not decide anything at all but is worth a shot If you have any other suggestions please say

Every single character plays the same if you use the fastest strats where you just ride Meta Knight the entire time

We've already decided not to have each individual character as a board. There wouldn't actually be any compeition for them, it'd just be filled whit people doing runs with a character to claim to have wr because everyone else will be using hte fastest character

I think flip ultimate cancelling is the best dps

With the 3 new characters released, people have noticed they get far batter times than other characters. This is because they not only skip a ton of rooms, but some rooms are straight up replaced. The 3 new characters are incomparable to the rest of the cast.

We have multiple ways of doing this:

1. Have all characters (including kirby) into one leaderboard
2. Have all original characters (including kirby) in one sub category and the new helpers in another sub category
3. same as 2 but ban Kirby
4. Have 3 sub categories 1 for original helpers, 1 for kirby and one for the new helpers

More discussion will be needed before we set up the guest stars leaderboard

If enough people actually run (note: run not do casual playthroughs with a timer)

Yes

We will not be setting up a Guest Stars board for some more time. The reason for this is because of a glitch that allows you to play as Kirby in guest stars. I got a 48 minute time with him

We know for a fact this is a glitch not an easter egg as there are multiple bugs present when playing as kirby. Wednesday there will be an update adding more characters, and we will find it if it will be patched or not. Before then, no boards for guest stars.

Not only this, but because of the fact that you didn't show the first few seconds, we have no way of retiming it accurately
