We've got a bunch of changes regarding the Category Extensions board to announce, so without any further ado, here they are:
-
Any% NPR will be deleted. The category was initally created as a home for menu storage, but over its three year lifespan, only 3 non-obsolete runs use that tech—all of which are slower than each runners' any% pb. deletion will occur once runs are archived on kivov's unofficial CE sheet (pinned in #speedrun_general).
-
Pre-DLC categories have been combined into one category, with sub-categories for All Chapters, 100%, and 200 Berries. this change reduces clutter in the misc tab of CE. since these boards are functionally archives that receive no new submissions, this merge seemed warranted. Merging Variant runs into a "Variant Runs" umbrella category was also discussed, but since the runs are so unique and have sub-categories of their own, we decided not to for now.
-
All Cassettes has been moved to the main boards! All Cassettes features similar routing choices to All Hearts, where the player returns to map out of certain levels after obtaining specific collectibles. Additionally, the journal tracks Cassettes in much the same way as Hearts, so this category was deemed fundamental enough to earn a position on the primary boards. Moving Bny% was also proposed due to its popularity, but since its rules are a direct extension of Any%, it will remain on CE.
-
202 Berries has been moved to Category Extensions. While fairly unobtrusive in its previous Misc placement, it was deemed to fit the content of CE more closely and was moved accordingly.
-
Finally, we have made a permanent submission form to suggest new Category Extensions, with a spreadsheet of approved and denied submissions. Please be sure to read all info on the form before submitting.

Another new category got added as a category extension: Cny%
If you have no idea what Cny% is, it is unlocking Epilogue while not finishing any A-Sides or B-Sides, and using the 'hearts 16' debug command after Prologue. This results in the C-Sides being unlocked, but you can't select them until you
