I don't see why random level up should be disallowed. That said I haven't played with it much but I look at the randomness a lot like I look at the fact that random events are technically allowed. Sometimes it benefits you, sometimes it doesn't. Its a risk you take going into the run.
100% agree the Emergency Meeting should have its own category like the rest.
There are so many categories on here with no recorded times, or just a couple, and we are thinking of making more categories? Unpopular opinion but I don't see the point. I get that it can seem boring to see the same characters over and over, but speedrunning is about being the fastest. If you go and look at Mario Kart or something like that, there aren't different categories for each character. That would just be so much. Same here if we did something like that.
I feel the same way with the comments about having modes for hyper, hurry, etc, and any combination of those. If we did that, it would be 64 more categories. Then if we split those by Normal Character, Moonspell, Special, etc, we're getting HUNDREDS of new categories while there are still loads of current categories with no entries.
I like how we have it broken down by character categories right now, with the normal, special, moonspell, etc, because that is sort of similar to the CC groups in Mario Kart, or other games with different speed settings or something. The 10k gold and 25,000 kills are interesting categories that I could take or leave, but the Normal Levels Marathon is pretty fun. Could be neat to marathon other subsets of levels, and it would only add a couple more categories.
Bottom line, my opinion is that adding categories for different characters is way too much, same with categories for different level settings. Before we start adding loads of new categories, or any, we should probably run some of the dozens that have 0 entries.
Please decline this run. I submitted under the wrong level, and resubmitted under the proper level
Hello MK8DX Speed runners! I am new to the community and am getting used to submitting runs, and in my hurry today to get some up, I mis submitted a majority of them.
Can a moderator please go to my submissions I made today and deny all except the Nitro Cup 150cc No Item, and then Mushroom Cup 150cc No Items? I would really appreciate it. I will properly resubmit the others. Thank you!
