"the dog" doesn't help at all considering there are 5 of them iirc. If you're thinking of the video cjya did, that might be a good idea.
Dog% used to be a category on the boards, you got all 5 dogs in Sand, Metro, Seaside, Moon, and Mushroom. I don't know why it was removed off the boards but the mods probably had a good reason. If you want to run it here's the route for you, you just can't put it on the board. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12LHhgW_A3XPsRdTv8uxMfOYDQCnJLe54UygQNgd8jVQ/edit#gid=1161685455
it used to be a category previously yea, actualy idk but it seems like it got removed fsr i would again share the link to the pinned thread for submitting category ideas, but weeell a category like that that never got a lot of attention, if it was a thing but then with some reason got removed... you are very hardly making it back unless it realy gets a lot of interest, asking for it a 2nd time is prob going to do nothing
oh wait or the category is diferent, idk if i realy got the idea lol but anyways any of trying to do something with dog is probably not something to get in rn
Dog% got removed because it's very similar to any% and doesn't change enough to make a separate category
Any% you start from the start and end at the end Dog% you start at the start beat the game then end at the final dog
actualy it was like the main principle of the mods: "not adding more "any% until some point and then do something random", is almost like playing any%" dog% kinda called more the attention... but it is actualy "any% until some point and then do something random" in fact, it almost is any% fully and then do something random variating in 3 moons and then taking 5 minutes to do something extra
