Using an old version of the game (1.00, 1.01) is allowed. I have added this as part of submissions. Please select the version of the game used for your run from now on.

I have reverified all runs and added version numbers to them

There is a bug in this game, where if you beat the game, then watch the ending cutscene and select New Game, your EXP will be preserved and you can start stage 0 with EXP instead of the normal level 1 0 EXP. This bug is not allowed in either category. This also allows you to skip the autoscroller section in stage 05.

Anything that restarting the game prevents (EXP preservation into level 0, stage 05 autoscroller skip) is banned in both categories. This is due to requiring setup before the run begins.

New Game+ has been added as a misc category. It may be removed if proven unpopular.

Differences from any% are: The beginning cutscene and cutscene at the end of stage 0 are skipped and you do not need to collect KAngel clothing pieces (as they will already be collected ahead of time)

RULES: Timing starts on pressing resume, all levels must be done in order, including stage 0/the tutorial.
