I can't think of a good name for it and I also haven't tried the run yet, but I thought of a category that turns the minigames themselves into something speedrunnable, where you must either meet the in-game high score or finish the minigame normally in order to complete a segment. Finishing the minigame normally is an option because it turns out some in-game high scores may be almost impossible, like 400 points in Brick Blasters, which I apparently have never gotten in my 8 years of owning the game.

I may try this category whether it becomes a thing or not; in concept it sounds a lot better than tournament based categories because of how RNG centric they are when it comes to CPU rolls and what bugs you get.

What if All-Stars 360 and All-Stars Any% had a side category for playing the original versions of the three games? There may be a pretty easy reason why this might never be a thing, but I'd like to bring it up anyway since this is the only leaderboard for multi-game 3D Mario speedruns.
