on youtube I have seen TASes of Metroid Fusion using the debug menu playing around with switching events quicksaving and enabling items early I wonder if this could be a Valid category?

Link to video He's talking about this. But no, this can't be a category. It uses cheats to beat the game.

If the debug menu can be accessed solely from within in the game (as in, you don't need a Gameshark or similar device to enable it) then using it for a playaround run COULD be legit, assuming it meets/exceeds the standards here.

It requires a code or hacking to enable.

IPS patches contain modifications to the game, or hacks. A TAS of the resulting hacked game would have to be different enough from the original game to be accepted here, and I don't think a hack just for debug cheats would be different enough.

Link to video already been done. Plus, that's a 1 boss TAS, not 0.

I did 1 objective but the boss didn't show up due to a bug at the area so its 0 boss run and did extra stuff and used different nickname and uses JPN version

the bug that happens is randomly the boss doesn't appear (final boss doesn't count) that's why I put 0 bosses
