Hello everyone. During my speedruns, I had several questions which spawned in my head, especially after watching 100% speedruns. Since I want to speedrun this category someday, I need some explanations.

1. When I first saw the WR, i saw that every tasks on level 2 were done, so I thought you have to do the same thing on every level, but it's not the case, like on level 4 and 8. Why you do have to clear all tasks in this level? Is it faster than take the Kiwi statue, and then performing the OOB? This doesn't sound logical imo.
2. This question may be stupid. Is is required for unlocking bonus levels to kill the final boss with the cannon and grab the stamp after the cutscene?
3. Obviously, since I can play the Christmas level, I will submit in 100% New Release. But is it advisable, or necessary, to submit in 100% Old Release in this case?

That's it! I may have other questions to ask, but I'll probably keep them for another thread.

An actual runner can correct me if I'm wrong, but for 1) and 2)

1. OOB was discovered after the 100% run was done
2. Yes, you must defeat the boss the normal way for the bonus levels to be unlocked

If the OOB was discovered after the 100% WR, I guess it makes sense then ^^'

100% new release is a really janky category, as it's literally the same thing as old release but with an additional level, but we didn't wanna remove the times on the old release. Before the OOB was discovered I got both records with the same run and let other moderators decide if that was ok, which you can see in my comment in my PB description
