A duolingo speedrun of the full Chinese Tree.
Glad to get this out. I may attempt this run again in the future, as the run ran unexpectedly long and late into the night.
0:00 - Setup
0:13 - Run starts
13:17 - Checkpoint 1 passed
43:57 - Checkpoint 2 passed
01:38:28 - Checkpoint 3 passed
02:54:24 - Checkpoint 4 passed

Questions you may have:
-----------------------------------------
• What's all the stuff in your title?
-----------------------------------------
I believe there are 5 most important bits of information to fully describe a Duolingo Speedrun.
This run is a
"DuoLingo Chinese Full Tree L1 (Web) NMST Any%:
Because
• The run is in Chinese
• The end goal is completion of the tree
• I'm reaching level one on all skills on the way
• I'm running on web
• I do not take any multi-skill tests
Generalizing the above categories gives 5 crucial traits to describe Duolingo speedruns fully, which I've listed below, including what I believe are the most likely values which would show up for them:
Duolingo Speedrun -
• [Chinese / Language here / X learning Y] - The language you're running. "X learning Y" is for e.g, "Spanish learning English" or other cross-language categories
• [CP1/Full Tree/Single Skill] - The end goal tree depth to conclude your run. CP1 is first checkpoint.
• [L1/L5/one section] - The skill level must you attain on all skills up to that depth to complete your run. L1 is "Level one".
• ([Web / mobile]) - Run platform you're using.
• [Any%, NMST Any%, NST Any%, 100%] - See below; the rules that govern what, if anything, you are allowed to skip.
Other runs I found ran through this taxonomy would be:
https://youtu.be/iXUAUaU2vJg - Duolingo Japanese CP1 L5 (web) 100%
https://youtu.be/Z-e4vCIscnY - Duolingo French Full Tree L1 (web) Any%
https://youtu.be/KJPUJBItFng - Duolingo Japanese Single Skill One Section (web) 100%
-----------------------------------------
• But what do you mean by "NMST any%"?
-----------------------------------------
"No multi-skill tests":
Duolingo speedrunning thus far seems to have a naming issue, in that it doesn't seem to have a rigorous framework to think about skip mechanics yet.
This is a problem because I strongly believe runs with some skips allowed and others disallowed can be quite interesting. I'm proposing below a categorical way runs can be grouped based on what they do and don't skip. This gets fairly heady, so if the below's too much, scroll down for the TL;DR
Duolingo has four different skipping mechanics, each which, if allowed, yield EXTREMELY different runs:
• You can test out of multiple skills when signing up for a new account
• You can test out of multiple skills by using category labels and taking the qualifying test
• You can test out of a single skill's sections to gain one level by using lingots and taking the qualifying test
• You can use the skip button on individual questions to avoid answering some fraction of a section's questions.
Therefore, since we see three crucial size level units of skipping (multiple skills, individual skills, individual questions), I believe there's four major categories of note here. Listing them all:
Any%:
• All skips are allowed when completing to the specified tree depth and level.
NMST Any%:
No multi-skill tests.
• You need to start at the tree’s base, as testing out when signing up is a multi-skill test
• You additionally can’t use checkpoint dividers as a means to complete skills (as they are a multi-skill test)
As normal any% can be completed in minutes, NMST Any% is in this model is the first serious length run
NST Any% := “No skill tests”
• NMST Any% rules apply, but you additionally can't spend lingots to take qualifying tests to skip sections within skills.
100%
• NST Any% rules apply, but you additionally can't use the skip button in sections.
This is the most rigid category and within the taxonomy of possible runs described above is most akin to a true 100% for a category.
-----------------------------------------
• TL;DR, Too complicated, could you summarize it quickly?
-----------------------------------------
Yeah. Go down the below list:
• Do you plan to use tests that finish multiple skills at once? If yes, you're running any%
• Do you plan to use lingots to test out of stuff? If yes, you're running NMST any%
• Do you plan to skip individual questions within sections using the skip button? If yes, you're running NST any%
• There's nothing left to skip. You're running 100%
-----------------------------------------
• Why should you run Duolingo?
-----------------------------------------
If
• You enjoy language learning,
• You liked "Typing of the Dead", but thought the zombies added too much visual flair, or
• You liked the car level on Mavis Beacon, but thought it should take 5 hours
Duolingo running might be for you!
