SM3DW Touchless and why it will never be a thing

Lately i've seen people wanting to do SM3DW "Touchless". So you want to do SM3DW Touchless? Well tough shit.

The basic reason as to why Touchless is pointless depends on where you're coming from. If it's just Any% without most of the touch strats that save a few seconds, then it's pointless to call it Touchless since you're not really doing anything different. You're just refusing to do strats. It's still gonna be Any% either way.

Calling a category "Touchless" or "Any% No GamePad" because you want to use a controller that isn't the GamePad is A FUCKING HORRIBLE IDEA. Captain Toad stages are a mandatory part of the Any% route. Combined, they give you a total of 20 Green Stars out of 170. They are ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY and the GamePad is required to enter them. Doing a run without the GamePad would make you lack those 20 stars, which would make you have to make them up somewhere else, which would probably lose around 15-20 minutes compared to the standard Any% route. Wanna do Any% without all the fancy touch strats? Fine. Do it. Just don't call it Touchless. It's pointless to call it that.

If you want to speedrun SM3DW, FINE. BUT DON'T COME AROUND ASKING FOR POINTLESS MEME CATEGORIES THAT ONLY YOU WILL RUN. THANKS.
