Mods believe this run to be a legit PAL N64 run, but the use of in-game cheats disqualifies the time from being accepted on the leaderboards. I personally felt we should highlight this run, as the time represents a new strategy and is lower than the existing WR.

It is very unfortunate that this run uses ingame cheats, we saw no other choice but to reject it. We have always banned the use of ingame cheats (with the one exception of "time trial bonus" to make 100 points ILs a realistic option), since there are cheats that directly make things faster ("handbrake power") and it's a lot easier to just ban all of them from the beginning instead of individually. Additionally, it is very likely that even purely cosmetic cheats can have an effect on lag and therefore the physics of the game, based on what we learned about the game over the years. This definitely needs to be investigated further.
