Why not have a NG+ category for Any%? Most games have it and it makes sense for this game as well

Same came to mind to have that category and could be interesting and faster run because you have all powers up upgraded and you can just go fast and ignore waddle dees and also you can start where any percent starts at the beatch because game allows to return there

NG+ categories usually gets created if it creates a very different experience, it might qualify in this game, but even then it’s likely to be in a CE board then the main board

why CE board not the main one

have done a NG+ Run took 1:59:xx

I have done an NG+ run with a time of 1:46:17

Super late on posting here but I actually did a handful of NG+ categories I named "All Main Stages and "All Stages" back in April/May for a bit if anyone's interested. All Main Stages is all stages except Treasure Roads. Including Arrival Point, anything in the main overworld, and all of the Forgo Dreams levels as well. All Stages is the exact same but it includes Treasure Roads as well.

I haven't done much runs of anything recently bc I just flat out haven't been in a speedrunning mood but I'll likely come back to one or both categories sooner rather then later.

My All Main Stages PB took around 1:53 and you can watch it here:

And my All Stages PB took around 3:30 and you can watch it here:

There is just one small trick that makes NG+ more tedious than the other categories in my opinion, at least what "free" time saves are considered.

It is called HPM (Health Point Manipulation).

Basically... if you fail against a boss, their maximum HP gets reduced until that boss gets defeated. This can stack up to 6 times, so they have a total health of 45% on Wild, and 35% on Spring Breeze.

And this works on all bosses... not sure about Forgo Dreams.

This is just stupid me talking NG+(New game +) is speedrunning on a already completed file right also most other game have a NG+ and for some reason forgotten land doesn’t so ya

is it for Misc. Categories?

Idk its up to the mods
