Hi guys, What do you all think about adding a 265 Rounds category to the leaderboard? For those who don't know, even though Wario's Woods is virtually an endless game, 256R is where the game can't go further, as if you beat 256R, the next round the game will send you to is going to be 256R again, and again, and again... For this reason we can kind of consider it to be the end of the game, and I've personally been toying with the idea of making the suggestion to create a 256R category and trying a "1R to 256R" run for a while, but it's a long one and quite the commitment, and I didn't want to potentially have a category with no runs submitted. The reason why I'm now suggesting to create a category for this run is that I found out just a few days ago that @YuaRyuc actually completed a 256R run, and I would love for it to have a place on the leaderboard, also in hope that more people would be inspired to give this madness a shot. Since Yua completed the 256R in Type-B mode, I would personally just add a 256R category for Type-B for now, and once a first Type-A 256R run is completed as well, we could add Type-A too. I know of course this would not be a popular category to run, but I know for sure that it would be a fun challenge for the runners who decide to commit to it, and since, on top of that, someone already managed to successfully accomplish it, it would only be fair to give it a proper display in my personal opinion. Let me know what you guys think!
Wouldn't the run end upon completion of Round 255? I know in the SNES version Round 255 just repeats over and over again.
I absolutely support this. Yua is a great runner that I know from the Z1 community, so I'm not surprised to see that he took on and completed such a challenge.
Whether the category would be popular doesn't matter. Plenty of games have "extreme" categories that are undertaken by only the select few who want a big mountain to climb.
Such an accomplishment should surely be noted for Yuaryuc and anybody who completes it in the future, and if not here then where.
Also I would probably just add the category for both, and let Type-A sit as an empty category until somebody does a run.
While I don't necessarily think there would be confusion by runners experienced enough to want to try this, I also wouldn't want to have anybody wondering if there were a reason it could only be accomplished in Type-B.
Yeah, I'd mirror Mr. Goat and just add boards for both categories for the above reason also. I equally think it's a good idea to have support for both boards, even if one remains empty for a while so anyone interested doesn't automatically assume 256 is only possible in Type B.
So, I just added two new categories for 256R, type A and type B, but I'd like to hear some feedback in regards to how to rearrange them all, as my initial thought was to group some categories into "misc" and avoid having an overcrowded leaderboard. What do you guys think? Do we keep everything as it is now, do we put everything BUT the two 99 Rounds categories under "misc", or do we leave 99 Rounds and 256 Rounds out and put 20 and 50 Rounds under "misc"?
If you use '99Rounds' or '256Rounds' and the subcategories are 'US-TypeA', 'US-TypeB', 'JPN-TypeA', and 'JPN-TypeB', you can put the tabs together. Or you can create another subcategory for TypeA or TypeB.
I might do that for 256R only for now, as I think it could be better to have two separate categories for 99R, and 4 sub-categories might make things less accessible overall, not to mention that I looked into it all morning today and it seems to be a fairly complicated process.
