Yes, button mapping is allowed in speedruns. It's not an unfair advantage, and I'm pretty sure a lot of runners remap to go into first person faster and easier.

Oh, well I think that it's good that ARS is singleplayer because any% is already the category in which the game is pushed to its absolute limit.

Local multiplayer is allowed in any%. And all glitches are already allowed in any% afaik

It also includes things like secret exit if the levels have that

Here is the spreadsheet for all routes for Bowser's Fury Any% (No Amiibo). it includes multiple routes, and some are harder than others. I'd recommend picking an easy one and then working your way up :)

I think that is a good idea. I know this isn't the best way to decide whether it should be added or not, but most other Mario games with IL leaderboards have some sort of "itemless" category.

Cool idea! Unfortunately "All 10 Coins" is just "All Badges" except you collect the 3 10 coins in the badge marathon level

I think you need the flower for the seed to actually be there. And you need the seed for the royal seed.

Couldn't you just skip all of world 3 with the out of bounds glitches? But yeah KnuckleFest, Poison Ruins, and Poplin Rescue are mandatory. I think collecting only these 3 flowers would be an interesting category, especially with world skips. It would force you to play a lot more levels than you normally would in worlds 4, 5, and 6, so with world skips Minimum Flowers might be almost as long as ARS.

It takes a while for runs to be verified since there are so many pending runs lol. And speedrunners are running this game on and off and setting new records almost every day

@SpeedyLuigi37 Not everyone will be able to record a speedrun at a gamestop/Target and the demo still isn't available in the e-shop

Airship skip isn't allowed in All Royal Seeds so that and "Glitchless" would be the exact same thing

To be fair, they have to verify runs (prob about dozens in the queue rn) and they could've decided to not do ILs

Prob cuz it isn't that useful in Any% (you still need the required seeds)

It is there forever until you switch to a new badge!

The pictures just screenshot a random frame from your gameplay so all pictures would prob be impossible rip

Not really, they play almost the exact same, and at that point ILs would have too many subcategories

Good idea! So this is what I was thinking:

The main ILs could be Normal ILs, Itemless ILs, and 100% ILs like SM3DW. Ig there could also be secret exits and easy character ILs like NSMBUD/NSLU
