SINGLE LEVEL RUN RULES

TIMING Timing is in-game time: when you submit a run the video MUST show the mission's results, where time is displayed.

CHEATING Cheating during the speedrun (aka pausing the game to input cheats during the video you want to submit on the leaderboard) is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN.

However, being a single-level category it is pointless to force players to endure long money grinding sessions. After all the point of this category is to complete only a single level ASAP.

As a result you are allowed to use the following cheats to unlock the game content faster: all equipment; all missions available; all weapons; extra gold. Forbidden cheats: infinite health, infinite ammo, unlimited payload, no fines, super speed and unlock all doors

But once again I repeat: CHEATING DURING THE LEVEL YOU WANT TO SUBMIT ON THE LEADERBOARDS IS FORBIDDEN!!!

That is all.

so how is it about dying and i have 99 continues, and i beat the time despite having died 3 times or so, still allowed?

FOR SINGLE LEVEL SPEEDRUNS

You may use a savefile in which you already completed the game or use the allowed cheats listed above.

Everything is allowed as long as you don't use the forbidden cheats or cheat during the speedrun you wanna submit.

The main point of the category is beating a single stage, so I think it's pointless to do all the grinding required for the full game speedrun

I just dig into some things there, can i enter a time which happened during a any% or 100% speedrun (whole game), despite not using a viper?
