This thread will be exclusive for any type of suggestion regarding the speedrun / category of the game.

Feel free to put any suggestion below! :)

A profile file from a previous playthrough can bring couple of benefits for a new game that won't be possible on a fresh new playthrough. So it might act like an NG+ mode.

NG+ benefits:

• Arcade mission: Have to get bronze to progress the story if haven't done it before, so have to spend all 1 minute on that mode. NG+ can just fail the arcade or quit and reload autosave.
• Switching characters: A fresh NG file can't switch to Scooter or Al before they got unlocked, but you could do it early if another playthrough have done it. This allows you to buy speedup powerup for Al way earlier before he's supposed to be unlocked.

I suggest that Any% should ban skipping Arcade mission, and swapping characters before they got unlocked.

Notmanz's run skips the Arcade, but since there's only 1 runner so far, should be fine letting that run stay on the boards. But probably should ban the NG+ benefits from now on.

And if someone actually do a 100% run, they should obviously start from a blank profile file.
