MM2 Speedrun Concept: 2-Line Bingo
3 years ago
New York, USA

This idea came about to me as I wanted to play the bingo put together by PangaeaPanga and Raysfire. I didn't have anyone to play it with, but still wanted a goal for playing it. I thought of seeing how fast I could complete 2 lines, and with that, realized it would be something of a speedrun.

So I did exactly that. I setup my OBS with a timer and the bingo sheet, and did a speedrun to complete 2 lines. The speedrun involves resetting the board as much as you like to find 2 lines that would work well together or be fastest to do.

You can watch my example video here:

I find this speedrun interesting as it involves a lot of strategy in order to complete your chosen lines as fast as possible, and will be different on a run-by-run basis. Different players may also have different strengths that open up strategies for them, making certain tiles more appealing to look for in a board.

This speedrun also requires good tile management and multitasking to achieve a good time. The best times will no doubt consist of tiles that are good for multitasking.

Category Rules might have to be a bit long to cover everything, but here are some I imagine:

  • The player must be on the Course World
  • Hot and New levels must be refreshed
  • The player must be on the Course World menu before it starts
  • The run begins once the player leaves the Course World menu
  • The run ends once the runner has completed their second line
  • Card Variant should be "2021"
  • The full 5x5 board must always be visible
  • If random, the refresh before the run begins must be shown
  • If seeded, the seed being chosen must be shown
  • Hot, New, Super World, and Endless levels are allowed
  • Popular can not be used
  • Detailed Search can not be used
  • Previously played levels can not be used
  • First Clears do not count towards World Records
  • Endless Life Goals must begin from the default life amount
  • Tiles done in Versus are only counted once a player has reached the flag
  • The 2 lines must be completed on the same board
  • A tile does not count until the level has been completed, besides for death tiles

Maybe the categories could also be referred to as: BRS% (Bingo Random Seed) BSS% (Bingo Set Seed)

Sounds like a cool category to run / compete against others with, but right now we aren't adding any new categories. We'll keep this in mind for when we do.
