A truly monumental accomplishment in what is believed to be the hardest PvZ speedrunning category in existence. The massive timesave comes from a faster platform (phone), a reduction in deaths, better planning and preparation, improved timing mechanism (allows pausing to fix sound glitch), better routing, more complete understanding of the game's mechanics, and the avoiding of a major glitch at the end. Note that the in-game timer is stopped from 9:33:00 to 9:35:00 in error, but it runs from 10:41:04 to 10:41:38 in error. Accordingly, the final time is increased by 86 seconds to 12h 30m 13s. While sub-12 may be possible, I feel good about putting this category away for a while given the toll it takes on the body.

MOD/RUNNER UPDATE: Because of the Twitch deletion issue of May 2025, I had to remove the run on Twitch which showed everything in one video, and I replaced the links with YouTube which has a max 12 hour limit. Everything should still be there. -Warmech, May 18 2025
