Yup. Specifically, there are the two secret weapons (one in Sector 9, one in Sector X) the Ultimortal difficulty (unlocked by beating Extreme, and if I remember correctly this also unlocks Normal and Hard mode's postgame unlockables) and Sector Z, which houses the final weapon - the Null Driver. You can see the teleporter to Sector Z in this movie, in Sector 1. It's right beside the Supercharge, but you can't use it until you unlock all the posters. To actually get to the Null Driver, you need to get all the ribbons, to clear all ten Sudden Death Sectors in single sector play, wherein everything has 1 HP and 100 armor, and you need to have the game recognize that you know all four hidden skills. (Teching; which is done by hitting the use key right when you get damaged, Retribution; the attack this movie uses on Annihilator Iosa after getting knocked down, which can only be used once per sector, and isn't useful against Tor, Air braking, and the Nanofield Reboot; which this movie uses to reset their stats.) I wouldn't mind seeing a movie playing through reallyjoel's dad difficulty, either. You need Ultimortal unlocked (beat Extreme) and it's literally impossible, according to the website. You get two minutes to kill every Tasen in Sector 1, then end the level - however, the forcefield that kills you at the end, which is supposed to go away once you have 100% kills, doesn't. I'd like to see if that's true or not, but I'm not that good at the game.
However, according to the game's author, "all items" means all basic weapons, jump and armor upgrades, and the trapmine (in addition to all posters, ribbons, and supercharges).

the game tracks your progress with two of them (the posters and the ribbons).
The reason I only chose these is because they are tracked by the game (in the ingame and main menu).
As was pointed out here and as I say in my notes, All items isn't the best name, it's just the one that speedruners use. Feel free to suggest a better name other than "All posters, supercharges, ribbons" because that is too long. The reason I only chose these is because they are tracked by the game (in the ingame and main menu). Getting the other guns/items would require multiple runs through the game and I think that that would be vary boring as they would not differ much at all.
I can only see Poster viewer in the main menu and nothing else related to those item types in either main or in-game menu. How are they tracked exactly?
Then what about "all collectables"?
Armor upgrades are available in several sectors, and you can't collect them all, only 3 of them, which makes the rest disappear. If you collect them, how much time would that add? Jump upgrades I think you do collect, but I don't remember if you collect both or just one, or whether getting both makes the jump higher than just one. Do you get both? If not, how much time would that add?
What about Nano, Health, Armor, and Nano overload? Is their count per sector limited? Do they respawn? How many of them are there per sector? How much extra time would they require? What about Weapons and Ammunition in that regard too?

These would be really weird to include for a couple of reasons. Nano's just experience points. Health, armour, and ammunition can't be picked up if you're fully stocked. Weapons you can only collect at certain levels of Tasen and Komato, and when you reboot your nanofield to respec your stat points, you drop all weapons you can't use. But you can pick up ammo for weapons you can't use. So you'd have to make sure you could get hurt and spend ammo to actually collect some of them.
Also overall, which of all these items persist across reboot, as in, recorded in the game save file? Which of them reappear after reboot?
A clear consensus is required on what constitutes full-completion.
- Some games reward the player for something internally defined as maximum completion goal.
- Sometime full completion requirements are explicitly mentioned in the game instructions.
- Full completion can only consist of optional one-time, irreversible, or otherwise strictly limited accomplishments that can be objectively measured and maximized.
- Conditions that are imposed unofficially by players are only eligible if they originate from fundamental game-play features.
- Community agreement is required when defining newly invented full completion goals, or if existing definitions need to be revised.
Not being able to collect something twice at all, even after reboot, would be a clear aspect, but if it's not feasible, we may agree to require items that don't respawn in a sector.
Okay, please read the whole post. If that aspect sound bad regardless, what about items that don't respawn during one playthrough?
What about the rest of the post? We still have items that don't require several playthroughs and whose amount is known for sure to address.
