keucher mod was having issues installing for me so im asking just in case

nope! i submitted my gameplay with the vanilla gameplay and it got accepted, so it should get accepted for you too

its actually against the rules to use keucher mod in a speedrun that you're submitting to the leaderboards, definitely just use the vanilla game. keucher mod is a practice tool, not meant for full speedruns.

modifications to the data.win (which keucher mod does significantly) are generally not allowed on the leaderboards. so yes, use the vanilla game.

Keucher mod is a modified version of the game that you can use as a practice tool.

Keucher mod is not allowed to be used in speedruns that you're submitting to the leaderboard. If you want to submit a run, do the run on an unmodified, standard version of the game.

The following are allowed:

• Survey_Program (Chapter 1 only demo)
• Chapter 1+2 Demo (Any official version, including steam only versions like 1.14 and 1.15)
• Chapter 1+2 Demo v1.09 (Have the runs separated from all other versions)
• Music/sound mods are allowed (with the exception of "A CYBER'S WORLD" and "Pandora Palace"), but note that you are NOT allowed to edit sound files that are found within the data.win file.

The following are NOT allowed:

• Mobile Port
• Unofficial Language Mods
• Sprite Mod
• Modification of the songs "A CYBER'S WORLD" and "Pandora Palace"
• Modification of the data.win
