i believe that in the category rules, start and end timer:

(in any%) starts when the player leaves the first checkpoint, and ends when the player reaches stage 31 using this method, i retimed the wr to 5:32.901

(in old skipless) starts when the player starts moving and ends when the player reaches the final platform. (i am not sure if this means the grass platform or the one before the grass platform)

i just got a 4 43 old skipless

category rules for any% should be changed to timer starts when player starts moving
