Sorry to disturb everyone - but why is my 3:50 run taken down? I saw the mod note said it's temporarily - but why?

So there are some changes for Levels 1-3, 8-9. (ignore Level 7 there's no way anyone's going to put that in) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPLkUQtAl8I\

Also, the Scratch Version of Appel is unshared for a while. Someone hacked the cloud vars and scratch probably did maintenance. The turbowarp version works fine, but since one of the iPad models doesn't allow turbowarp (javascript interpolation stuff), you guys can use this project before the original version comes back. https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/722712587/

All cloud variables and everything inside are the same as before. I kept this version a while back for one of my Appel remixes (no advertise i get it lol) so you guys can play that version just in case you need scratch's version and if the original version is down forever. Thanks :)

In level 2, you can skip the waiting on the blue platform by performing a pixel-perfect jump. However, this may be inconsistent for any%. If anyone wants to go for one or two seconds of time save, then you can try this alternate strat to skip the waiting.

(It's slower than the original strat but way more consistent.)

Note: I'm pretty sure people won't go for difficult strategies for any% but I'm sure people will get better at the game in the future and try to save a few seconds for WR. Good luck to anyone speedrunning it :)

These categories are basically 'good RNG and no more runs'. Can the mods make some categories like 'win 10 rounds'

I absolutely love the idea of this category. That's why I speedran Level 1 of this. But then, I realized that a lot of levels could be beaten with lesser amount of yellow apples collected. Therefore, I worked on this project. I deeply went into the levels, and tried my absolute best to lower that number down. It took me around a month (because of exams) to complete this video. Sorry for dn_scrtch for using your time to take the world records of Level 3, 6 and 8. Level 6 to 9 (Nice) are really difficult to be perfect on the apple count. It's going to be insane to pull it off, disregarding speedrunning. Anyhow. I hope you guys enjoyed it. Took me a long time as I said, so maybe like the video and subscribe as well! Thanks for reading this, and watching the video.

Why doesn't anyone speedrun these categories? They look fun! I think I'm going to give it a shot.

As the category name applies, I think there should be a speedrun for the fastest time defeating the Boss. It's going to be interesting to optimize because RNG-based speedrun doesn't only requires skill, but luck. (The boss doesn't actually have a tempo, it's the speed of killing the mobs/goombas)
