The glitches required to save time are quite difficult to get right. I think it would be sensible to have a category without the glitches, considering the time difference is quite big.

The version of this game floating around is not the original Japanese version. More information here

I imagine it would be close to impossible to get similar times using the original version of the game for x68000. So perhaps another category could be created, one for the original and another for the easy hack which everyone has clocked their time on.
