Why speed runs say any% but they do 100%

Question

Why speed runs say any% but they do 100%

In: Other

Answer 1

– **Any%**: Complete the game as fast as possible.
– **100%**: Complete the game as fast as possible while completing all optional content.
– **Low%**: Complete the game as fast as possible, while picking up as few upgrades as possible.

Any% can happen to be equal to 100% in cases where there’s no optional content. Any% just means “no restrictions”. Any% is also often not the same as Low%, in cases where non-essential items make the game faster.
