I would add the requirement of beating 2 ice to make it more of a difference but the path to world 5 I would say count as a warp like in any% going from world 1 to world 5, but the only difference I could think of is the path to world 4.

Wait but while i was typing the text probably the warpless category I thought of would be renamed to 7 castles which is going through every world besides world 3 and 9 but I don’t know if they might accept it.

The warpless category is similar to all castles but after world 2 you go to 4 which after that go though the other worlds. Disclaimer: please do not criticize what I said in the thread ok 😅.
