Hey, kinda new here, I started running the game a couple days ago. I read all of the forums and it seemed like a decent amount of people would like to have separate categories one without chest boosts and/or the glitch that shoots you to the top and one with. So I was wondering why a glitchless or no major glitches category hasn't been made.

I'm going to speculate here a little bit and say it's because "Glitchless" has always been pretty hard to moderate. Like, what IS a glitch? How would you define a glitch? Speedrunners are meant to take games to their breaking point and complete the game AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. That's why Any% speedruns look insane, because they're taking everything to the extreme. But if you try to limit that to make the game how it was "intended" to be played then you've got conflicting objectives:

• Objective 1: Beat the game as fast as possible (using any method necessary)
• Objective 2: Beat the game without glitches (how it was "intended" to be played)

Here's a great reddit thread on the topic of "Glitchless" runs (almost 10 years old! wow!)

A more fitting name for the category would be "Intended Route" which would exclude runners from using OOB and Chest Boosting. But that's up to the runners to decide how to moderate it. I think it would be a fun category to run, it's a shame that there's no category for it yet.
