Hello everyone!

I am new to the world of speedrunning and I currently enjoy watching runs of Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario 64. I also enjoy YouTube videos explaining the runs and the history of them.

I can guess that speedrunning in general is a huge topic with many followers and countless games.

My question is: what is, in your opinion, the single most prestigious and important speedrun category and why?

Let me know what you think. Thanks!
