then that just means I need to help drum up the interest

I'll give those runs a gander. The time investment will definitely be the most extreme factor of the run, as the natural souls gain from the run will take the edge of the difficulty off of endgame. But not like I don't already have nearly 500 hours sunk in the game as is.

Hey howdy hey,

I've been looking into perhaps starting to run Elden Ring since I've played through it numerous times now, and I notice that there doesn't appear to be an "All Boss" category, with the closest thing being "All Remembrances". But I'm curious what it would take to pull of such a feat, as there are apparently a little over 160 bosses in the game pre-dlc.

I'm probably going to start off with a simple glitchless any% myself, but I'm curious if anyone else is crazy enough to possibly attempt an All Boss run.

Heyo, had a question about the trifecta. I was wondering if it was okay to pause the timer to take breaks between games. Like, when you exit to the main menu you can take a break there.

I ask because I am disabled and have to take frequent breaks, doing a 7+ hour run without a break just isn't doable to me.

blows dust off thread Finally did another run each as Sonic and Tails after so long, and got a new PB for each. Opening thread updated accordingly.

I was just wondering, since I was planning on doing Time Trial mode to practice for All Time Stones, can I submit Time Trial times for ILs?

And regarding ILs, how come there aren't ones for special stages?

New PB for Sonic. In some silly twist, I wound up collecting stones in Collision Chaos despite me not trying to so hard. I was doing well until company showed up and broke my concentration. Bit of a shame, but I know I can do better in the future.

I'll have to check out the discord later. I was thinking about studying the level maps to get a better idea where I can snag emergency shields and groups of ring boxes. Something I've noticed is that some of the different time periods in some of the stages is more "rich" in rings than others, making it potentially more optimal to shift time periods in certain stages. Collision Chaos seems to be one of the worse stages to get 50 rings in, so I might forgo it in favor of Stardust Speedway.

And truth be told, that sonic run, and subsequently tails run, are my second and third times playing through the game. Besides Mania (which I haven't played yet), this is probably the 2D sonic game I'm least familiar with, so this is fun learning various tricks and paths.

Updated with my Tails run I did a little bit ago. Went far better than Sonic.

Hey, everyone. I notice that there doesn't appear to be a category for getting all the Time Stones in the game, but I did a run earlier where I did just that.

(video moved down below and potentially replaced once a better time is reached) Got somewhere around 1:15:55, not going to bother checking the exact time since I goofed up my splits a few times, and I'm just going to get better anyways.

I aim to do a run with tails later this week, I'll probably edit this post or something when I complete it. Anyways, take care. Just felt like sharing my run.

Edit: PB Sonic ATS - 50:59.94

PB Tails ATS - 43:50.82

So, how would I get some official voting going for switching the 100% glitchless to a main category? And perhaps having the All Bosses and All Marbles categories switched to Misc considering they're a little obscure and there doesn't seem to be any runs on here. I'd also like to welcome competition against my time. It's easily beatable, especially with how much faffing I did about in world 1.

Considering there are no rules for the category, I'm mostly concerned if "All Stages" includes the post-game hell stage where you fight Dracula. And if not, do you have to actually enter the secret village or not?

Ah, fair enough. Thank you.

So, I was curious what exactly the rules are about, say, announcing when you're going to stream here is like. I have the itch to stream my adventures in practicing KH FM today, and would like to openly welcome anyone to slide into chat and give tips n' tricks at their discretion. So I'm curious if there's any formal way of doing that here in the forum, or perhaps just speedrun.com in general.

Are those tricks still N64-only as the title implies?

I must have been barely short while fighting. In my adventures of "gitting gud", I'm currently in Twilight Town redeux. Been watching a few runs to see if I can pick up on anything along the way. But yeah, after Guard Armor, things have been pretty clear sailing for me.

Hm, alright. Thank you for explaining. Yeah, I was having a miserable time with the stage prior, though it's mostly my fault because I was testing jumps and spin dashes to see where all I could cut corners.

Just PB'd him with 59:32 thanks to this.

So, hello, I'm Meowskivich. Crazy guy and all that. Been playing this game forever and a half, and am currently on my 271st or 272nd playthrough for getting all the library paths. So, I'm doing this route: Hero, Dark, Dark, Hero, Hero, Dark And I'm encountering the Egg Dealer as a result. Nothing special.

However... The egg dealer opened up.... with targeting itself with Missile Fever. This is, by far, the most exciting thing that has happened to me since, you know, I'm keen on completing these runs as fast as I can. I'm curious if anyone else has had this occur, and if so, if they know how to replicate it. After all, a free missile fever hit is freaking great.

So, still getting used to things here at Speedrun.com, but I noticed something odd after my 100% glitchless run was verified: It didn't show up on my runs page. After looking around a bit, I clicked the "show misc" tab and there it was. Which made me a tad confused. We have a couple redundant categories, all marbles and all bosses, that are listed as main and yet have no runs (and I personally question their existence as categories, but hey, maybe someone can explain it to me), but... 100% Glitchless IS a Misc though. At least by my logic, a 100% glitchless run shouldn't really be a Misc. category kind of run. After all, it's playing the game as intended. My question I present is really: why is this the case?
