Goals for 2025

Note: just because something isn't on here doesn't mean I won't try it at some point, it just means I don't want to commit to it as a goal.

• Run WL1~wl1 All Treasures
• Get back WL3~wl3 100% WR yet again
• Run KSS~kss Any% and 100%
• Run Metroid II~m2
• Get a good time in ATLYSS~atlyss (Colossus%/old any%)
• Get WR in all difficulties of Wario Land 4~wl4 100%

Things I did in 2025

• Made a minor reroute to ATLYSS' Colossus%, beating my old version PB~ATLYSS/runs/y8goqwwz, then after some discussion in the speedrunning server, adopting an entirely new character build to save even more time~ATLYSS/runs/y8goqwwz, and then getting a sub 40~ATLYSS/runs/m7lv9d4y. As of this writing, nobody else has done a Colossus% run since the new version came out...
• Started running ATLYSS' new patch, first getting a run of Diva%~ATLYSS/runs/z00xp09z (short category), then routing and playing the first runs (1~ATLYSS/runs/y8gw9d1z, 2~ATLYSS/runs/yljxednm) of Colossus% (the old Any% category prior to the big July update)
• Got Co-op Any% WR~streets_of_rogue/runs/yoeoxwdz and further improved Gym% WR~streets_of_rogue/runs/zx0wxe5z alongside CMOJoker and RifeXD, by figuring out an even more powerful combination of characters
• Got WR~streets_of_rogue/runs/y28k3p5y in Streets of Rogue "Gym%" (co-op Any% category without traits that allow you to teleport) alongside CMOJoker and RifeXD, due to more coordination and a more versatile combination of characters
• Rerouted Super Scribblenauts All Levels thanks to a push from a random person on YouTube (previously I was doing the levels in numerical order for simplicity and because I was lazy). My route was done entirely on my own. I then got one PB~superscribblenauts/runs/yjq8r27m with it, beating my time due to better gameplay but also presumably due to a better route
• Aero found that microscopic tree was better than mini tree, and then we traded WRs in Super Scribblenauts Any% a few times, culminating in my 29:00 to beat their 29:03. See a detailed history in my submission~superscribblenauts/runs/yoerkp7z
• Improved my Super Scribblenauts All Levels WR~superscribblenauts/runs/zpo3owvm by 33s, mostly because I got the infamous sound glitch for the second time ever. I got a couple more PBs after that without sound glitch so it's all good
• Got WR~scribblenauts_remix/runs/m7l53l5y in Scribblenauts Remix Any% (category requires doing all 50 of the original levels despite this not being necessary to beat the final level)
• Ran Scribblenauts 100%~scribblenauts_/runs/yv793doy for the second time ever, improving my time by almost 4 hours
• Improved my Scribblenauts Any% Unrestricted~scribblenauts_/runs/mkw3on3m and All Levels~scribblenauts_/runs/yjq302gm WRs, by 18s and 4m53s respectively
• Helped Big Garf, a yt content creator, with a Super Scribblenauts challenge video. This time I didn't do my own run, since the strategies for this run are significantly more tedious and my relevant knowledge of the game is more limited than in the first game
• Improved my PB~wl1/runs/mrd8qn4z in WL1 Any%, on console despite having only speedrun the game on keyboard up to that point. Until this derust, I hadn't completed any runs since my previous PB in 2020
• Got my first TAS published on TASVideos, being an improvement of a recent Scribblenauts TAS (the branch was called "highest level", but is equivalent to Any% Unrestricted for RTA)
• Ran WL4 100% for Shasta's GDQ Hotfix show, Do All The Things: YouTube VOD
• Further improved WR~wl4/runs/ylpj5q2m in Wario Land 4 100% Normal, beating greenbean's decade-old zips WR without using any zips

Things I did in 2024

• Took back WR~wl3/runs/zxj26p5y in Wario Land 3 100% after over 9 months (on Christmas Day); just in time to keep my promise of getting it within the year 2024. Unfortunately for me, Lotus took WR back on New Year's Eve, so I now have a new goal for 2025
• Improved my Scribblenauts Any% unrestricted~scribblenauts_/runs/m7eg97wz and Any% no repeat levels~scribblenauts_/runs/y6g55v1m WRs by 44s and 53s respectively, on consecutive days
• Helped Big Garf, a yt content creator, with a Scribblenauts challenge video (his video got over a million views within a couple days; my take on the same challenge also performed well for my channel's standards)
• Ran Scribblenauts~scribblenauts_ All Levels for Shasta's GDQ Hotfix show, Do All The Things: YouTube VOD
• Helped with new WL3 Any% TAS by Katie (knowledge and optimizations): TASVideos submission
• Got 3rd place~vbwl/runs/y9jw1k2m in VBWL Any%, 2nd place~vbwl/runs/y226nw9y in 100%
• Got WR~rhythm_tengoku/runs/y6vvvvpm (at the time) in Rhythm Tengoku Any%
• Got sub 2hrs~scribblenauts_/runs/mrv7557z in Scribblenauts All Levels (improved a few times since)
• Took back WR~scribblenauts_/runs/m7nwk29z in Scribblenauts Any% after nearly 3 years
• Learned KDL2~kdl2 Best Ending
• Got 2nd place~wl1/runs/m3kegwwy in WL1 Glitchless

Things I did in 2023

• Became Wario Speedrun discord server owner
• Became a Wario Series mod on speedrun.com (cosmetic role lawl)
• Got WR~wl4/runs/zpwewgxy in WL4 100% Normal (Zipless)
• Ran WL3 Any% NMS for Pixel Perfect Marathon 2 (it was okay): YouTube VOD
• Got WR~wl2/runs/y98vwokz in WL2 Main Story Glitched
• Got WR~wl3/runs/z1l98p7m in WL3 100%
• Got WR (at the time) in all Rhythm Heaven Megamix~rhm categories
• Ran as P3 in Bomber Man World for Multithon (I think it was the first one), alongside CMOJoker, RifeXD, and enbyzee: YouTube VOD
• Got 2nd place~wl2/runs/zqe47g9z (at the time) in WL2 Main Story

Things I did in 2022

• Discovered S6 wrong warp in WL3 (saves a few minutes in All Chests and 100%, also used in Time Attack IL)

The timeline takes more work to uncover from this point. I started speedrunning WL1 in mid 2020, and picked up other land games (VB, 2, 3, 4, not in that order) between then and 2021, with varying degrees of commitment. WL3 is probably the game I've returned to the most.
