Universal Bans |
|
Main Categories
Any% |
| Description: Any% (Credits Warp) is the fastest category to complete the game. The main subjective for achieving top times in this category is using the Tongue Glitch to trigger a Credits Warp by doing Arbitrary Code Execution.

| This category has no restrictions other than the Universal Bans.
|
| Notable Glitches: |
Any% Warps |
| Description: This category is the original Any% category of this game before the Null Egg Glitch and ACE were discovered. This category abuses 1-1 Warps and also consists of doing the Map Corruption Glitch in 3-3 when going for top times. It also allows resetting during the run to skip the World Cutscenes. Other than that and the timing method, it is identical to Any% Warpless however.

Any% Warpless |
| Description: The No Major Glitches category of this game. It is the main category of the Yoshi Speedrunning Community nowadays.
|
| History lesson: In the past this used to be the main category of just the Japanese Yoshi Community who did not want to use 1-1 Warps, whereas the rest of the World played Any% Warps without the Tongue Glitch in 3-3 which wasn't known back then. The Japanese Players did time their runs on 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

Legacy Any% Categories (Null Egg)
Any% Beat Bowser |
| Description: Any% Beat Bowser is the second fastest category to complete the game. The main subjective for achieving top times in this category is using the Null Egg Glitch and then doing a Save Corruption in 3-1. This run used to be the Any% category of this game before ACE got found.

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.
