That's what "Unless there's a level designed for a specific CYOP fork" means. If a level is made specifically for AFOB (or any other version of CYOP that adds new objects/mechanics) then the category will be using that instead, otherwise only the base CYOP version or the hotfix are allowed.
No, cheesed up rewrites CYOP and a lot of other parts of the base pizza tower game so there's no telling in what way it differs and gives an advantage. Unless there's a level designed for a specific CYOP fork the only versions allowed are base CYOP or the speedrunning hotfix.
Run is missing the full level entry animation (timing starts when peppino spawns in the level, this is also when the timer and level loads in). Since the in-game timer is visible and shows 1.6 seconds at the start of the video i added that to the RTA time.
There's a discord now! It's linked at the top of the leaderboard as well.
Agreed with the Po-Boy Bayou suggestion above (as well as any future levels from the Other Tower mod).
On another note, since queue seems to be filling up and there's only 1 moderator, maybe it's a good idea to add a few extra that can help out? I'd be willing to help verify runs/add new categories and such.
