Feel free to request both new category ideas and modifications to Speedrunner's Edition in this forum.

With new categories, pretty much anything is fair game as long as there is a significant improvement when ran in SE compared to normal/vanilla SMB3 (so no Any%) and the category is popular enough to warrant addition.

With hack enhancements, ultimately I want this to be the community's hack for speedrunning SMB3, but at the same time during the design process I have made various decisions that I would prefer to retain unless there is overwhelming support for the changes. Among these include:

1. Disabling the hands entirely (I wanted to preserve the mechanic and instead provide an appropriate and satisfying counter to them)

2. Disabling hammer bro movement entirely (Again, it's part of the game that they move and it adds variety. That is why I decided to instead only address excessive movements (greater than 2), marathons, and other bad RNG)

With that said, please feel free to reach out with any and all ideas you may have, and happy speedrunning!

Could you please add a really cool category called All Giant Question Mark Blocks as it is very unique and fun. Plus the strats and tech are just amazing and great things will come out of this one no doubt. Thanks again for your consideration in this matter.

A new misc. category has been added. For those dissatisfied with the World 5 ending of the normal Frog% CE, you can now formally complete the game without warp whistles in Frog% Warpless! This requires an additional patch you can download under Resources to be applied on top of Speedrunner's Edition the applies the permanent frog effect and modifies the game to make it completable as a frog without warping.

Note that initial submissions for this category may use a similar game generated through fcoughlin's SMB3 Randomizer. This is acceptable since the only differences are the title screen and various cutscene texts that do not affect the speed of gameplay. Additionally runs with this version will most certainly be slower than Speedrunner's Edition since none of the other enhancements are included (other than removed autoscrolling).

Finally got around to some major restructuring of the leaderboards.

-Frog% now has its own section (instead of being under Misc.) with all previous categories labeled as subcategories. -The 100% subcategory has been added to Frog%! In this category 5-9 is doable but will likely require a lot of practice beforehand. -Added the following categories based on their vanilla equivalents:

-All Fortresses (Note that I have decided to disallow wrong warps, unlike the vanilla category) -Any% 1 Warp -Small Mario Only (No Wrong Warp and Warpless as subcategories) -All Secret Exits

Happy speedrunning!
