Universal Bans |
For all categories, the following bans are part of the rules and thus, will not be listed under each individual category.
|
Main Categories
Any% Warpless |
Description: The no major glitches category of the game. It is the main category of the Yoshi speedrunning community nowadays.
|
History lesson: In the past, this used to be the main category for just the Japanese Yoshi community; they did not want to use 1-1 Warps, whereas the rest of the world played Any% Warps. They also timed their runs to the last input, whereas the rest of the world finished the run on Bowser explosion, thus resulting in the different timing method between this category and Any% Warps

Any% Warps |
|
Description: This was the original Any% category of the game before the Null Egg glitch and ACE were discovered. This run takes advantage of 1-1 Warps and the 3-3 Tongue Glitch to save time. It also allows resetting the console during the run to skip the cutscene at the end of each world. Other than that and the timing method, it is identical to Any% Warpless.

Any% Magical Journey |
Description: The Magical Journey is a very unique run of this game and used to be the fastest possible way to complete the game at one point in time. The main subjective for achieving top times in this category is using the Null Egg Glitch and carrying it all the way from 2-3 to 6-8, lowering the amount of time each level takes to complete by a large margin. This category got obsoleted by Any% Beat Bowser when the Save Corruption in 3-1 was found, but used to be the Any% category of this game. It's mainly listed for the sake of completeness.
