Was wondering if there was any want for a Koopathlon Speedrun (7 laps mainly). Been running it just on my own for a few days and it has been very fun. With optimization of general gameplay and which minigames are the best for coins plus some luck, it could be very competitive in my opinion. I would love to see it be brought down to its limits and I would personally run it myself in my spare time.

It's a little awkward as a category because there is an in-game record for it, but no in-game leaderboards, so there's probably a lot of people with existing proveable good times who wouldn't have a video to submit. I'm also not really sure how the in-game time is actually measured, so not sure if it's better to use in-game time or real time for a speedrun category.

If there's several people actually doing Koopathlon speedruns, we could add a leaderboard for it. If you ask in the Discord you might find others who are interested.

I have a recorded run I could personally check the real-time compared to the in-game time. I will also check the discord at some point and send my proposal there with the in-game and real-time posts, hopefully, others do want to run it but the RNG side could turn people away. It seems to be pretty grindy to move down in times and I understand it could be disheartening to have a non-recorded run that is peak RNG+Performance due to not knowing that it could be a potential category or WR. If there are any further steps to take in getting it to be a thing besides the regular stuff let me know.
