I tried rejected Mario Odyssey speedrun ideas

Have you ever been rejected? It felt bad, right? Well, that's how these speedrun categories feel, so I'm gonna give them another chance.

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.

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

[Savagecabbige-wwqw]

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!

[theastralbard]

can't believe in the alphabet run CJ forgot to get 'Xploring for Treasure' and 'Zuper Zecret Zipper'

[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.

Creator of All Forks and Flower% here, thanks for playing my ideas :D

[Jackgerman-einy]

Failed% have all of the rejected speedruns on a wheel and then spin the wheel for your speedrun

[Earlieee]

I love that CJ just casually got 500 on Jumprope.. I'm happy if I get to 100 without glitches💀

[micahphilson]

4:20 I love how he gets "Cheep Cheep Crossing", but then seconds later, the alphabet shows he has no C.

[guimon]

"I've tried every moon in the files. From A-Y."

"What about Z?"

"Z?"

"Z, the letter that comes after Y."

[CatEnthusiast]

4:35 You can see he got “Rolling Rock in the Woods“ but didn’t get R off the list.

[typhoonthunder]

Here’s an idea for a challenge if it hasn’t already been suggested; All Cappy Dialogue. If it’s even possible, of course, I have no idea. But having to activate every single line of cappy dialogue seems like it could be fun

[kellykindler]

Fork%: Read every bit of dialogue from every Volbonan in the game.
Edit: I just realized that he did a fork run where he captures all of them, so I guess we can change it to Bonneters or New Donkers or something.

[IllusionWolfWriter]

I'm pretty sure he missed at least two viable flowers in Flower%

[Adamrpg]

I think Rock paper scissors percent would be cool if instead, you had to do any percent but when you collect a moon it doesn't count if you lose to Mario in rock paper scissors. So you have to get an extra moon if he beats you

[Crystalpvpmaniac]

4:40 you got one that started with c already in lake

[RachelGreengrass]

Mew%, if someone talks to Mario, other than Cappy, the run is over.

Edit: Broodles can’t mew, so they don’t make the run end.

[leodorafaverso]

18:42 They rejected all forks because actually there's more forks in the game. In a postgame file, there are forks in Luncheon, Metro and Seaside. For Metro and Seaside is only in a specific spot.

[ToothLin]

Imagine if the fork one required you to capture the forks in darker side.

9:41 I have 2 ideas for moons that could be the “x” and “z”. First, there could be something like the costume room in sand kingdom, but Mario is playing a xylophone, so you get something like “xylophone master”. Second, there could be a taking notes moon underwater in seaside kingdom where the notes are in zigzag form. It could be called “Taking notes: zig-zag swimming.” These are just my ideas
