#so like basically what im saying is we as a society need to speedrun splatoon 3

[mipyvale]

lately my splatoon and speedrunning special interests have been combining so now i bring you: splatoon 3 [ individual level ] pacifist speedrun . you cannot kill any enemies . You have to avoid every single one of them and run to the goal

Also some clarification on what counts as killing :

exploding octarians exploding does not count as killing as long as you were not the one to shoot ink and cause their explosion . if they exploded without you doing anything the run would be safe

bossfights dont count as all of the characters reappear in later cutscenes / story beats so therefore bossfights do not count as killing

whether smallfry would be allowed is up to you . obviously no matter what smallfry eating fuzzy ooze wouldnt count as harming smallfry OR the fuzzy ooze as you are feeding smallfry and the fuzzy ooze is not actually alive

Surprisingly a LOT of levels that you wouldnt expect to be possible w these restrictions are actually totally possible . Like some levels that are meant to be combat based are totally pacifist compatible as long as there arent any enemy triggers , aka stuff that only appears / moves and lets you go forward after killing one specific / all of the enemies in an area ! even then there may possibly be skips that could be done to bypass enemy triggers

Im not sure if a full game speedrun is actually possible so rather than immediately trying one there should be more research done into what levels are pacifist compatible and what ones are not and whether or not that would give you enough power eggs to beat the game before anyone tries a full game speedrun

N e ways thats all of my insane ramblings . God bless
