Low%

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, or collecting every moon. Low% runs can be played as a speedrun or at a casual pace.

The most prominent Low% category is Minimum Captures.
