    The Any% category for MediEvil (1998) is the fastest and shortest category to speedrun.

    The scope of this category is to simply complete the game as fast as possible with any percentage of completion. Collecting chalices, weapons, or completing all levels is not mandatory. You are allowed to use any known and unknown glitch.

    Rules

    1. Any use of the in-game cheat menu is prohibited.
    2. The timer starts upon pressing New Game in the main menu.
    3. The timer ends upon the final hit on Zarok.
    4. After killing Zarok, it must be possible for the credits to run. You do not have to play them in your submission on Speedrun.com, but it must be possible for them to roll.
    5. You are required to skip the dragon gate in The Gallows Gauntlet. You can decide to skip the dragon gate in any way possible.

    Platform

    Runs on emulators and console have separate leaderboards. This is because some glitches can only be performed on emulators, and because the game runs slightly slower on consoles. Runners can specify the platform of their run upon submitting the recording.

    Glitches used

    Although you are not required to use glitches, except for skipping the dragon gate, most runners use several of them to obtain competitive times. The ones used in this category are:

    • Speed glitch
    • Super daggers
    • Super club
    • Knockback Dash
    • Inventory glitch
    • Level looping
    • Jacoghost
    • Soldier despawn
    • Kardok skip
    • Dragon gate skip or Rune smuggle
    • Various out of bounds glitches
    • Hilltop Mausoleum gate skip
