The time was started manually by pressing a hotkey in Splits as soon as the play button was clicked on the title screen, and was ended after the apple item had been collected, as seen in the submitted video for this run. Also, OBS Studio was used for recording the run.

Mod: I made a mistake in the rules, the speedrun starts from the first frame of the game, after loading has finished. I'm still setting up the page.

Me: Alright, I did not know that when submitting these runs. Also, I think you should add categories for the other BBNG modes (such as Dark, Speedy, etc.) as well.
