I tried rejected Mario Odyssey speedrun ideas

[@the_godbodor7026]

The thing that sold me on Fork% is the detail that it starts the moment you flick off the first fork, meaning you can start from any fork which could lead to a lot of experimenting to see which is the best fork to start with and what route to take from it

[@jakelagas5881]

Yeah this run feels very much like a 'mario challenge' where you could get a moon or star from if you do it within a certain amount of time. Very creative, would love to see more of it!

[@Chasereraser5]

There is forks in darker side

[@RiKSh4w]

I think that ABC% would be a lot more tactical if you needed to collect them in order. Imagine needing to pass by a moon just so you can come back later.

[@titoucarotte5238]

I don't think it'd be possible to even go to the second kingdom with that, unless you have a 100% file to begin with

[@Meedup]

@@titoucarotte5238maybe you can still get moons out of order but they don't count for the ABCs?

[@ToothLin]

I think that what they meant was that only the ones you collected in order counted. Meaning you could collect any moon needed for kingdom progression, they just wouldn't necessarily count for your speedrun goal. If that was the case, I believe it would be possible. For example: TANMBDCD - only A,B,C, and D would count. The second D would be the one counted because it had occurred after a C, that occurred after a B, that occurred after an A.

[@titoucarotte5238]

I guess that works then, but it'd be a whole lot of going back and forth

[@day7163]

​@@titoucarotte5238I feel like it could make it more intriguing. Really the way it is now is kinda iffy imo. I forget now but it was 1 or 2 kingdoms kinda just straight-up waiting to finish your run.

He had a C moon in cheep cheep crossing but missed it meaning he didn’t have to get caught hopping in the forest. The run is not optimised!

[@GalaxyStarz..]

I was about to say that

[@batlrar]

I think the Letters% is a good one because there's a lot of room for debate in the routing since a faster moon somewhere might actually be slower than two other moons closer together. I definitely say "Mario Signs His Name" should be a required moon for the category, though.

[@AlexanderSpecland]

[@poisonedoak6563]

A - Z was probably disqualified because you’d just change the language to whatever one would give you the least possible letters and run that, speaking of, would it even work for Japanese and different alphabets?

[@someperson8885]

There are 3 languages that'd need special rulings (assuming the leaderboards don't just say you must use English): Japanese, the Chineses and Korean. For Japanese, you can do an all-kana run taking the first syllable of the moon name, that'd be up to 46 (45 really since one of them never starts a Japanese word) For the Chineses, I suppose you could use Mandarin initials (as described in pin-yin) so up to 21 moons. As for Korean, it'd be either up to 14 moons (since all Korean syllables must begin with one of those characters) or up to 23 (since one of the characters is just a placeholder that comes before vowels and there are 10 vowel characters)

Technically "built" isn't the 'correct' word. It would be considered nonsense if you go back far enough but in modern day is considered informal. -ing is a present participle or a gerund. In this case, turning a verb into a noun is done by adding -ing to the end. So, building is an action. But you call the thing that was builded a 'building'.
