And to clarify one of my previous points, TSSM has extended cheat% to remove the sliding and driving sections that most people find boring. It actually has a purpose. Extended cheat% has no purpose in BFBB.
If you really want a new category so bad the only thing that seems to make sense to me is 80 Socks, maybe it'd be an extension of cheat% since otherwise it'd just be a pseudo Any% run that stops collecting when it can get to the Flying Dutchman's level.
Maybe that would work if we still had the 41% category, but as it stands I don't think those ideas are much good.
Infamous, the problem with that is that the only thing you'd be doing for cheat 16% is inputting cheats then fighting robo sandy. The problem with cheat 41% is that all it would do is input cheats, skip robo sandy, then fight robo patrick. Simply putting two categories together seems good in theory, but please, next time you submit a suggestion, and this goes for everyone, think about it first.
Some top runners actually want to run Early BB/CB so it is now on trial. This category first appeared as Power% earlier this year when a bunch of other meme categories existed and some people were interested in running it, however it was deleted due to lack of interest.
If the category has does not become popular, it may eventually be removed again.
Some reasons for adding are Sand Mountain being slow and painful in 200%, while the boss fights are just as bad. Now that we have more opinions on the 200% category since more players have started running it, these flaws have been exposed and have caused interest in a "bargain" 200%. The category can also easily be completed in under an hour, which is appealing to some people.
Talking about new IL categories is kind of pointless, as they probably won't be added unless it becomes more competitive.
The 100 Under 1 challenge was a success! Thanks to all the runners who achieved sub hour in Battle for Bikini Bottom.

We reached 102 under 1, amounting to $2,400 for combatting childhood cancer.
