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 jumping the fewest amount of times or capturing the fewest number of objects or enemies. The task in question can be a range of things, including beating the game, achieving World Peace, collecting every moon, and more. Low% runs can be played as a speedrun or at a casual pace.
The most prominent Low% category is Minimum Captures, which has been popularized in part by streamer Smallant1.
Categories
The possibilities for Low% categories are near endless, but some of the most prominent ones include the following:
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Minimum Captures | Complete a task while capturing as few objects or enemies as possible. |
| Minimum Coins | Complete a task while collecting as few coins as possible. |
| Minimum Jumps | Complete a task while jumping as little as possible. |
| Minimum Cap Throws | Complete a task while throwing Cappy as little as possible. |
| 000% | Complete a task without incrementing the counters for jumps, cap throws or coins collected as maintained by Archivist Toadette. |
| Minimum A/B Presses | Complete a task while pressing the A or B buttons (or their equivalents) as little as possible. Some players also try to minimize cap throws on top of this, meaning the A/B press count takes priority. |
| Minimum ZL/ZR Presses | Complete a task while pressing the ZL or ZR buttons (or their equivalents) as little as possible. |
| Minimum Left Stick | Complete a task while minimizing use of the left joystick in as many situations as possible. |
| Minimum Inputs | Complete a task while minimizing the total amount of button presses (joystick motions are permitted). |
