Working on a route for a category called "100% Minimum FLUDD". Basically, I've been trying to find how much FLUDD is required for this game. So far, I've come up with these rules: FLUDD usage - Tutorial 1: Banned Shines&Star Coins within castle: Banned Jolly Roger Bay: Banned Secret of the Mushroom: Banned Bowser's Trap: 1 full hover only Tutorial 2: 6 rocket blasts only (WIP) Bob-Omb Battlefield shines: Banned Bob-Omb Battlefield star coins: 1 full hover only Cool Cool Mountain: Banned Backyard: Banned Tidal Isle: Banned Shifting Sand Land: Banned Thwomp Castle: Banned Frosty FLUDD: Banned Secret of the Sky: Banned Magma Maze shine: 2 rocket blasts and turbo for the current only Magma Maze star coin: 1 rocket blast only

This is all I've done so far, I will post the rest once I have worked on them.

If the attempted is failed, any person running would be given another chance. Otherwise it would probably be unfair.

This could certainly make for an interesting category IMO, but I will accept any reason should it not be.

Update for HMC: Shine 1: Banned Shine 2: Banned Shine 3: 3 rocket blasts only Shine 4: 3 rocket blasts only Shine 5: 1 rocket blast only Star coins: 3 rocket blasts only

Update for BM: Shine 1: Bannned Shine 2: 1 rocket blast only Shine 3: Allowed during King Boo fight Shine 4: Banned Shine 5: 5 rocket blasts only Star coins: 1 rocket blast and 1 full hover only

Please avoid multiple posting, you'd rather want to edit your post. Thanks!

As for the idea, it seems interesting. Problems are that it is a little arbitrary (timing seconds of turbo would be hell), having a ranking for it would be awfully hard to set up too. It is a good idea though, nice work, improvements can surely be made on this and will probably be done a lot. I imagine that as a fun challenge but as a speedrun category, it's an other question.

If it seems to work as a speedrun category, we will add it at bit.ly/SM63Leaderboard , which is the official leaderboard for special category that do not fit on speedrun.com. Keep working on it ! ^^

For turbo FLUDD would it be easier to use the water number?

Oh yeah, clearly. That works :)

Okie Dokie, the rules are done for now!

I'd rather go with something along the lines of a Max% FLUDDless than a 100% Minimum FLUDD. There can be optimizations to your requirements though, using some simple glitches it is easy to remove some FLUDD usages.

Eh... I just don't find Max% so appealing. Plus we already have Hover Only as a max% category.

Lmao, you discovered it in that dumb run?

yep
