For ng+ can you start with red bricks on? That would save a significant amount of time.

I am unsure if red bricks are allowed. The only actual rules are to complete all the chapters as fast as possible with a loaded save file. But I would say no because you need to click replay story when you do ng+ as you are playing the mission regularly. The only actual speed up to ng+ is that you can skip all the cutscenes. I hope this helped or made things more clear.

It says red bricks are allowed, but in Valvinraim's run he didn't use them. That's why I am confused. I personally think that red bricks should be allowed in ng+.

Ya i just saw that they are allowed for ng+ . so i would say yes but i did not use any in my run. So I might do a run with red bricks for a faster record

Awesome. Currently "routing" mine lol. Btw do you know about the barrel launch thingy?
