A user found a memory exploit that allows to skip the Great Plateau. This requires a pretty hard set-up. Would this be a new category or part of any%? And would the set-up be part of the speedrun or just the new file post-setup?

yeah we know this and i think it will be banned "Any glitch that persists throughout save files or new game must be removed before the run."

But it could be a new category i think, not part of any%

At the moment people in the discord are talking about making a NG+ type of category for this
