In co-operation with Guinness World Records, we are launching some GWR-made categories. The WR holder in these categories can apply for an official GWR title, and will receive a GWR trophy in their speedrun.com profile.
Currently they are running three categories on the site:
• Fastest time to beat all six boss rematches in Super Mario Odyssey • Fastest time to complete all Muspelheim Impossible Trials in God of War 2018 with Common level equipment • Fastest time to collect all six enchanted apples on the 10 years of Minecraft map
And there may be more in the future. A game with GWR categories will have a GWR dropdown on its leaderboard (like the Misc dropdown), and you can find a list of games with GWR categories along with more info on the GWR page (accessible from More > GWR).
The moderators of these games are co-operating with this campaign, and all runs will be verified by them. Be sure to check the category rules, and the main GWR rules.
Good luck to all competitors!
wow great copy pasta in the comments here guys SeemsGood
Also, since Guinness' verification requirements are so stringent, I could see how that could conflict with moderation of existing categories.
