Welcome to the category extensions page for Super Mario Sunshine!
We have done our best to add all of the more random categories to this page, but if there's any we may have missed or that you'd like to add in the future, feel free to reply to this thread with your suggestions!
Note: Please do not post in the main forums about category extensions, as each board has a different set of mods, and some mods only care about the main leaderboards, as well, others don't have any power over the main leaderboards and vice versa.
Rules:
- There must be at least one completed run of this category, with video.
- You must provide a clearly defined rule set, including start and end time, whether or not the category is played from file select, and what the ultimate goal of the category is.
- You must provide a name for the category.
- Your category must not be too similar to something already on the category extensions leaderboard.
Thanks!
if 20 shine is in smsce now because it doesn't complete the game shouldn't jumpless be in the SMS LB :Thinking:
Podderz: I don't think 440 shines should be added to the leaderboard as its base is literally just a category. Doing a category more than once isn't playing the game any differently than another category and I don't think it would make sense to add it.
Lucasthe: no
Glitchless 120 Shines: Goal - Collect every Shine Sprite in the game for a grand total of 120 Shine Sprites without the use of glitches listed below. Timing - Time starts when pressing A to select 'Yes' to create a new file. Time ends when you land the final ground pound on the Bowser fight. Banned Glitches - Out of Bounds (including casino skip), clips with held items (i.e. fruit or springs), rocket storage, honey skip, Pinna 1 cutscene skips, Pinna 2 mole skip (requires clipping into the mole), Yoshi skip, travel skip, GWKs, chucksters throwing backwards. Other Rules - Eel cutscene skip is allowed because it is not a glitch, and can be done accidentally (even casually). Damage boosting in Pianta 3 is allowed because invincibility frames are an intended mechanic. Skipping Bianco 1 is allowed because this is also intended. Pausing to spawn the Pianta 1 shine faster is allowed. Y-turning is allowed. Grabbing extra rockets on Mecha Bowser is allowed. Spam sprays are allowed because it is in the official strategy guide.
I did a run on the 27th and got a 3:48:04
Any% (No X Button) Timing starts on file select. Timing ends on the last ground pound of Bowser. You cannot use the X Button.
This run isn't a legal run of the category, since I accidentally press X in King Boo and then I game over in Corona and don't finish the game, but it shows the framework of the run. If I need to do a complete run to get it on the leaderboard then I can, but I wanted to make sure this will get on the leaderboards. I barely know any hoverless strats, so the run is pretty rough, even before the game over, and I get hover nozzle in some levels where it probably loses time.
I think the run is interesting because it's basically hoverless with some exceptions, the big one being still able to do GBS. And doing hover only eel is interesting as well.
All Turbo Unlocks: Goal - unlock the turbo nozzle in all available levels. (bianco, ricco, gelato, noki, delfino) Timing - starts on a race file select; ends on the save prompt of the final turbo nozzle Side note - the turbo box on airstrip is not necessary to collect because if the player has unlocked it in delfino no save prompt will be given when the airstrip one is collected.
Perfect Scoreboard
Goal : Collect every Shine Sprite in the game for a grand total of 120 Shine Sprites, plus every max coin score possible in every world (212 in Bianco Hills, 149 in Ricco Harbor, 161 in Gelato Beach, 999 in Pinna Park, 999 in Sirena Beach, 235 in Noki Bay, 999 in Pianta Village and 999 in Delfino Plaza).
Timing : Time starts when pressing A to select 'Yes' to create a new file. Time ends when you land the final ground pound on the Bowser fight.
Reasons : It's a very long and challenging category to do, it would take around 16 hours to complete, but I find it interesting to complete the game with the biggest possible score.
Additional informations : I don't have a video of the run itself, because I don't have a capture card (and also I don't think I am good enough to complete this category with a fast time), I'm posting this here mainly if anyone was interested by this category. If any new improvement concerning a new maximum possible coin score is discovered, then there will be two subcategories of this, one being the current version, and the other being the legacy version(s).
Finally, here's 2 links to help you achieving this run, the first one is a bit outdated for a few worlds, but is very accurate, and the second one contains every record and have a video for some of them : https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/gamecube/533287-super-mario-sunshine/faqs/23467 https://cyberscore.me.uk/group/113/766
Category extensions, huh? Wild. Guess I'll throw one up there.
Name: All Nozzles Vod: (55:12 by me from 5/20/16, Trey has a 53:31 floating around somewhere...)
Rules:
- Start with "Race File" timing aka play on a file with Airstrip and cutscenes already done, end when blue text box fully appears for the last nozzle collected.
- You aren't required to get the Rocket Nozzle in Corona cause then it's Any% + All Nozzles which could be its own thing.
- Collect every other nozzle in the game (Rocket/Turbo in Delfino, Bianco, Ricco, Gelato, and Noki. Rocket in Pianta. None in Pinna/Sirena).
Name: All reds NG+ run:
Rules: -Time starts from a completed any% file (works too 120 shines file) and ends when the "splendido", "shine get" or "shine" appears. -Collect all red coins and the shines respectively. -You must use F.L.U.D.D on secrets
All delfino shines NG+ run: rules: -Collect all the delfino shines in a post corona file Timing starts on file select. Timing ends when Mario holds up the final plaza Shine.
Any% (No X Button) Timing starts on file select. Timing ends on the last ground pound of Bowser. You cannot use the X Button.
Finally got a run in, even though it was atrocious.
