For most games, low% means completing as little of the game as possible or collecting as little items as possible while also beating the game as fast as possible.

I was wondering if we could add a category called Lowest%, where you would try to achieve as low of a score as possible. Runs would be ranked by how low the score is, and, if the score is tied, the faster one would rank higher.

For example, if a run takes 30 minutes, and another run takes 1 hour, but the 1 hour run had a lower score, the 1 hour run would rank higher. If the score was tied, the 30 minute run would rank higher.

Power-ups would be allowed but would generally be avoided since the give you tons of points. I really think this would be an interesting category.

not exactly something you can speedrun because you'd have to get 001 on the timer in each level in order to minimize points, so you wouldn't have much variance in times.

(Also I'm personally not a fan of speedrun.com being used for "score leaderboards", it wasn't exactly made for something like that)

We discussed a max score category before, which would follow a Cannonless path to 4-Ca and then coin grind. The problem with minimum score is obtaining frame-perfect 001 times with the flagpole like @JoshTGR mentioned. It also doesn't have as much interest because of the long coin grind part but its doable.

Come to think of it, max score would be a lot more fun. Many people seem to like Max% even though that has a long coin grind. Might do an experimental run of it at some point

Max score might be "more fun" but it would probably still suck since most people hate the coin grind in max% so i think a run where you just get to 4-c ASAP before doing 2 hours of coin grinding would be awful

Oh didn't know coin grind took 2 hours lol

This doesn't seem fun for anyone and anyone who does it on wii u has an advantage for the setup and it's alot of afk old video but I think this is the gltich they are talking about

Wii U will not affect this @LakeOfPoland also this is still probably the hardest part of Max% due to it being very difficult to get 4 koopas going every time 1st try. I really enjoy Max%, so this category would probably not be too bad but it wouldn't be that fun.

Would honestly like to see this category be done someday, but I understand how painful it can be lol. But yea, expect a boring 2-3hr run.
