Here I'm going to be posting the changes I (or the mod team, trying to future proof here) make to the leaderboard over time for the sake of transparency and to lift any confusion to whomever it may concern.

October 9th 2020

-"Arcade Mode" category added -"Any%" and "Any% NG+" renamed to "Story Mode NG" and "Story Mode NG+" -"Story Mode NG" moved to Misc. -"Story Mode NG+" moved out of Misc.

The reason for the latter two changes is because of how cumbersome it is to run NG compared to NG+ (having to delete save files and deal with Steam Cloud all the time, sitting through an unskippable 1 minute cutscene before starting the run proper, being unable to skip a 1:30 minute cutscene after stage 7, and having to play stage 1 twice if you were running on Normal or Hard) and there being very little incentive to run it over NG+ (the default missile is already an insanely good weapon for speedruns, meaning there would be very little if any difference in weapon strategy).

May 20th 2023 (it's technically the 21st right now, but only by a few minutes)

-Clarified proof requirements on the Game Rules; specifically, clarifying that replay files, although highly encouraged, are not a substitute for video proof of the run being performed in real time.
