If 100% Map Completion would drop the "100%" tag (which I agree with following the reasoning on the page), it needs to be out outside of 100% tab. Under Major Glitches, I suggest adding a 14% tab, which would include (partially) MG 14% categories: Chargeless variants (Underflow) and X-Ice. Regarding X-Ice, X-Climb seems to be a bit controversial and G-Mode (which at least Matrick's run uses) certainly is. So I think this category is better fit under 14% MG.


-I'd like to see a rules tab just like SRC has, and perhaps e.g. a direct link to deanyd regarding category/route info.

-RBO should either be spelled out or renamed. Because while it's doing it's best to beat all the (major) bosses in the game in a reverse order without using any major glitches, it's technically still not the Reverse Boss Order. A suggestion would be to drop it under any% and call it any% RDPK. The reasoning behind this is just like Map Completion technically not being 100%, RBO does not have a specific item goal (percentage). Definitely not a popular opinion, but I figured it makes more sense.

-I'm not against moving GT Classic to NMG as long as it is it's own category, but that would probably cause more confusion than it'd be worth. But I'll forward the argument anyway: Because GT code is technically a cheat code and not a "glitch", and because GT Classic is vastly different from any% GT Code, it could be worth looking into moving it. However, to keep things as clean as possible, it could be worth considering having both as an any% tab.

-As for the RTA categories and Ceres escape, these could be moved under Partial, or RTA (except for Ceres which is IGT). -Enmet



I'd be pretty stoked to rename RBO/Reverse Boss Order to something more along the lines of what it actually is, i.e. Reverse Golden 4/RG4.
