This game has been a favourite of mine since I was young & I have a certain amount of nostalgia for it. I've just completed the game again today & I've watched a few speedruns of this game but while I was playing, I thought of a couple of possible ideas for different categories. These are:

NG+ Any% and 100%

• As you know, you can have 4 playable Urbz in a single saved game. You could have New Game+ categories if you have a category where 1-3 Urbz have already played through the game. You can set up the game so that your urb has a bunch of items already at the start of the game (Power Socials, furniture that can be used or sold etc.). Items can also be put into the districts & items in the districts can be moved around which can make player movement more optimised in all the different districts.
• NG+ Any% would require you to unlock Darius Penthouse with this NG+ setup
• NG+ 100% would require you to complete all the goals with the NG+ setup

Urbz Fanatic!

• Urbz Fanatic is the level you achieve once you reach 999 Reputation (100 relationship status with every non-playable Urb + the 3 player Urbz). There could be a speedrun for getting to 999 Reputation

What do you guys think about these category ideas? I realize this isn't a popular speedrun game with only a handful of people who have run the game but I think these could be very interesting categories. I'm thinking about speedrunning the game but it might be a while before I decide to do so. And if these categories are accepted, I'll likely do a run in them

Items that could be given to you at the start of a NG+ run include

• Skilling objects (To get skills required for jobs - for 100%)
• Power Specials (To defeat villains for Any% or maybe completing other goals for 100%)
• Furniture (To improve mood or to sell for money)
• Walls (which could be used to block non-playable Urbz from certain parts of the districts) These objects would be put on the ground in the first apartment and/or the first district of the run by one of the pre-existing Urbz & could be picked up by the new playable Urb that you play as during the run

Items that could be put into the districts for NG+ runs include

• Grill - for making sausages - the best way to improve your hunger (afaik)
• Shower - most districts lack showers or sufficient hygiene requirements
• Chairs to boost your energy quickly
• Better toilets - Certain toilets improve your bladder better than others
• Fun objects - Certain objects improve your fun better than others
• Extra doors - to stop other Urbz from getting in your way

Hey Mystic,

I've taken a look at your Category Ideas and I'm happy to set them up for you. I'd say if you do a run of it, Drop me a DM or reply back to this forum and I'll setup the leaderboards for it. :)
