Consistency. We are playing in an emulator which is not an "official" way of playing the game. So we create a standard to ensure that things are same and fair for everyone who runs the game.
Also, technically and optimally for speedruns you need not even go out of your way to purchase the skins, the game only checks if you have the stars, it doesn't check if you have the skins unlocked or not when counting your progress, all you need to complete the speedrun is get the 100% completion screen.
That sounds like a glitch I had in my casual playthrough once. Ideally it is possible to unlock everything but sometimes you somehow just end up not having enough stars. I don't have a clear idea how but I have been preventing it by NOT purchasing anything when I have partially completed a level (ie. When I have only collected a fraction of stars in it). Also I think you made a small error in total stars needed, don't forget that the first few weapons only need 2 stars ;)
Edit:- So I did the math: There are 108 stars. 3 x 10 = 30 stars from prisoners 3 x 10 = 30 stars from mission in each level 4 X 4 X 3 = 48 stars from all the challenges
Thats 30+30+48 = 108 stars.
Note that the first skin of each category is unlocked by default. There are 10 costumes of which 9 require 3 stars each to unlock = 27 stars. There are 8 projectiles of which 7 require 3 stars each to unlock = 21 stars. There are 7 parachutes of which 6 require 3 stars each to unlock = 18 stars. There are 16 weapons of which 3 require 2 stars each and 12 require 3 stars each to unlock = 6 + 36 = 42 stars.
Thats 27+21+18+42 = 108 stars.
Which matches exactly with the total possible stars possible to get.

The sequel has official leaderboards: https://www.speedrun.com/raft_wars_2
For a series to be created, at least 3 games are required
I would like to be a moderator of the game Raft Wars: https://www.speedrun.com/raft_wars I myself currently do not have any pending runs, however there was a forum post (https://www.speedrun.com/raft_wars/thread/52kz1) recently asking for their runs to get verified. This isn't the first time this has happened, back when I submitted my own "No upgrades" WR run, it took 2 months to get verified, after I contacted the slightly more active mod in twitter, which I did again for the verifying the new run, but it seems he has been inactive on twitter as well for quite some time now. Looking at the info page of the 2 mods, it seems one of them has been inactive for 8 months and the other has been inactive for over an year now. Also a kinda related separate request: This game also has a sequel (https://www.speedrun.com/raft_wars_2) but the series page hasn't been created. So please look into it as well.

This is such a good app. I would like to see two features in the graphs:
- Ability to select the categories that will appear in the graph.
- Ability to zoom in.
Why are custom themes for games working with light mode? Please fix it soon.
Does Hitman Speedrun have a discord Community? If there is, can I join it?
