Three new gamemodes were officially added to A Robot Named Fight in the most recent official update Ver.1.6.0.3.2. The 3 new gamemodes are as follows: Boss Rush, Exterminator, and Megamap. -BOSS RUSH: In boss rush you fight a series of bosses (Usually 2 per area type) with the opportunity to power up using shops (Located at the spawn area) and shrines (Guaranteed one in every 2 zones). As there is no item collection rate the only viable option would be Boss Rush Any%. -EXTERMINATOR: In exterminator mode you must kill every enemy in a room before proceeding to the next. The map is divided into zones, and you may only enter a zone when authorized by the Avatar of Buluc Chabtan. In each zone there is a progression item gated off by a boss fight, and upon collecting the progression item you are authorized to move to the next zone. There are stat boosts and colored scrap still found in rooms as per a normal playthrough, and as such the viable options for speedruns would be Exterminator: Any% and Exterminator 100%. -MEGAMAP: In megamap the game world generates with both base zones and alternate zones leading to a much larger map. there is a larger amount of progression items, and bosses to fight and the game world is far more winding and interconnected than a normal run. Unlike a normal run of ARNF the character cannot start with items, but all unlocked items can appear as normal. The viable options are Megamap Any% and Megamap100%. I suggest that all new gamemodes be played on complete savefile as to allow a level playing field, and that the in-game timer be used for run-records. Thank you for reading -Xander Edit: NateExplosion also suggested speedruns be Unseeded for these categories, and I'm inclined to agree so thank you Nate!

I also feel that they should have unseeded runs because in this game seeds count for a lot.

Personally, I think MegaMap speedrun should be probably locked into 100%, though can differ with this. I feel the reason of playing MegaMap and just going for Any%/skipping everything would render it kinda contradictory, and could be the same as just going for Any% Normal Megabeast Core.

For Boss Rush I think it could fit as a Individual level category maybe, to not clutter the general Leaderboard, since it would be locked into Any% anyways

No thoughts on Exterminator on my side yet though

@Juanba I would be inclined to agree with you Juanba, however I feel like any% could be different enough on megamap. Maybe we look back into it in the future but for now we could start with MegaMap100%

does anybody else agree that the sp00ky route should be a category as well? would be a very interesting challenge for low % runs

@mobilisq I could easily see Spooky Mode being an additional category, however I also don't want to flood the speedrun.com page with new categories all at once. We should ease in a bit on that first and explore the nuances and challenge runs as the game as a speed run evolves.
