=== '''Overview''' ===
'''Low%''' is a collection of challenge run types in which the player must complete a set task while using certain actions within the game as little as possible, such as [[Jump|jumping]] as few times as possible or [[Capture|capturing]] the least number of objects or enemies. The task in question can be a range of things, including [[Any%|beating the game]], achieving [[World Peace]], or [[All Moons|collecting every moon]]. Low% runs can be played as a speedrun or at a casual pace.
Low% is a type of speedrun where the player attempts to complete the game or a set task while doing the least amount of one specific thing possible; eg, min jumps, min cap throws


=== '''Categories''' ===
The most well-known Low% category is [[Minimum Captures]], popularized in part by streamer [https://www.twitch.tv/SmallAnt SmallAnt].
The main low% categories are:
* min captures
* min coins
* min jumps
* min cap throws
* 000 percent
* min ab presses
* min abbc
* min jumps and cap throws
* min zl/zr presses
* and minputs


=== '''Comparison''' ===
== Categories ==
The most ran and most well known category is minimum captures by far. The category that has been the most widely explored is min abbc. The most difficult, least ran and most limiting category is minputs
The possibilities for Low% categories are nearly endless, but some of the most prominent ones include the following:
