[@sohamsengupta6470]

@@mariotheundying there's a couple things there, a) this is clearly a goofy category, thus a lot of submissions may just be people submitting a run for funsies, b) tech gets discovered over time, I'm not knowledgeable in the history of mario odyssey runs but it is possible that there was a time when the chained hat throw-hat jump tech hadn't been developed or was really uncommon, then those runs would've been done without using the hat jump tech. Speedrunning is a fascinating thing because runs and routes don't just get created, they evolve over time as communities find new tech, test now strategies and experiment. It's part of what makes the stuff so engrossing, is that it's fuelled by a community, and thus any and all contributions, be they runs, tases, or just the enthusiasm of viewers, is part of what drives the whole scene. It's a major reason why I'm somewhat disappointed at the number of 'imagine being below this run' comments, cause I genuinely do believe that every run is valuable to the community and to the runner because at least you've done a thing! Anyways the second half of this was probably rather irrelevant to your question but I did just want to clarify my viewpoint, cheers and have a good day!

[@Hexagonaldonut]

@@mariotheundying New routes and tricks are discovered all the time. You're not gonna automatically know what the best way to approach a run is going to be, and spending *all* of your time searching for some hypothetical best route just isn't practical for most runners; it's a community effort.
