Hey PPL Community,

Any chance we could add 100% as a category? Also not requiring unlocking the extra trainers as you need two controllers and is not part of the collectible screen. Besides that do everything else in the game to unlock the collectibles , that means all the game modes that give you credits. In summary 100% should require in my opinion the following;

1.) Clearing Every Puzzle in Puzzle University 2.) Winning Every Medal (Marathon, Spa Service, Time Zone) 3.) Clearing Every Difficulty in 1P-Stadium

It is sort of a long run. My first attempt was over 6 hours but with some better routing/practice it would easily be sub 6.

What do you guys think?

Regards, Boston

Oh lord, haha. I wouldn't be against adding it I suppose, but I'd definitely never run it simply because I loathe puzzle mode. xD Unless somebody made a tool that showed you the solutions to the puzzles and it was allowed during runs. Although even then, I don't have all that much time for speedrunning, so a 6-hour run is definitely out of the question for me haha

I just used GameFAQs that is all you need. I thought I wouldn't enjoy the PU part of the run but it was decently enjoyable and difficult to do fast. We have no other category for PU either so maybe adding a separate category just for that and hundo would be sick.

There was a brief discussion about this in 2015, but nothing ever came from it. I did my own run as a Twitch follower special in 2015:

The biggest difference between my run and Boston's run and a run bbforky did as part of a 24-hour marathon before mine was 3D. I did 3D in Marathon and Time Zone in my run because the records screen has separate scores for them, but no one else has. My requirements for the run were:

-Spa Service, including beating the Butch & Cassidy SPECIAL stage because you get a cutscene for winning -50,000 points in Marathon 2D to trigger the credits -50,000 points in Marathon 3D -25,000 points in Time Zone 2D to trigger the credits -25,000 points in Time Zone 3D -Puzzle University, regular and special puzzles -1P Stadium on every Game Level

I also created a new profile and started my timer right then as all of the achievements are tied to the profile. It practically adds zero time to the run if you create it within Spa Service.

If we can agree on a definition, then I am all for adding 100%. I really don't like Puzzle U as a category, though. There's pretty much zero room for creative or dynamic input and I don't find that interesting to track.

Wow, I was missing a lot then. I know the PU sucks so I'll just leave it here, thanks for considering.
