On September 16th 2023 we had a blind race with Rayman 1 PS1 and I took part of the race and had a fun time with this occasion. I had a rough start with the game due to rust and never running the game before, but I was starting to get more comfortable with the game when getting to Blue Mountains. Honestly after doing something like this, I'm motivated to learn Rayman 1 speedrunning in the future but I need to take the time to study the game so look forward to my runs with Rayman 1 on the Playstation.

Yeah, but I'm not sure for how long.

Maybe for as long as there will be some progress to make?

What is 100% in Rayman 1 exactly?

[ItzalDrake]

The only difference it has compared with the Any% category is that the Memory Card Manipulation (MCM) is not allowed
You can learn more about the MCM by watching this video, it's pretty interesting!

This run has a lot of outdated strats. I recommend checking my 100% run.

Yeah, they basically renamed the "Any%" category "100%" (since you need all the cages) and the new "Any%" allows for MCM.

Didn't 100% use to refer to collecting all the Tings and such? How was that renamed then?

Seems to be called "Max%":

Goal
Beat the game after collecting:

• All 102 cages
• All 11 magicians
• All 2119 Tings
• All 65 lives
• All 112 P Orbs
• All 82 Fist powerups
• The extra infinite helicopter powerup in EP
• You also have to beat all bosses

Rules

• Video is required
• Setting up speed storage prior to the run is not allowed
• You can use any version of the game
• Mistakes are allowed. Only the WR has to be 100% Valid
• Use the following ROM to play the game: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_lUIvO ... sp=sharing This rom will show you an overview of every collectable. You can press select to toggle between total and screen values.

Timing starts & Ends

• Same as any% of your version choice

Not a great choice of name, but at least the rules clarify what all those categories stand for.

"All Bosses"? Is that new?

Possibly, yeah. At least it's the first run for this category. The rules are as follows:

Check Game rules for Emulator rules

Goal
Beat the game after beating all bosses

Rules

• Video is required
• Setting up speed storage prior to the run is not allowed
• You can use any version of the game
• MCM is allowed

Timing starts & Ends
Same as any% of your version choice

Interestingly, MCM is allowed, so it results in runs that are shorter than for Any% (well, now called 100%, since Any% now seems to refer to standard MCM gameplay).
