There has been some changes to how the leader boards are set up. We now have 3 different categories. Any% which allows the player to accrue Solar Value before starting the run, No Solar Value which does not allow this, and now 100% where the player must play through all 3 boards (6 stages total) and score enough points for 1st place.

Any%
With the addition of a newly found glitch (I'm only assuming this is a glitch, as it seems odd the developers would want Solar Value carrying over across multiple games) we have a new Any% category that allows Solar Value to be gathered before starting a run. 
(*Copied from Marth.sk's 3:07 run*) Solar value is a bonus that remains on the machine across games until it is won by shooting at the ramp during multiball, when Pinbot has one of the balls in his eyesockets. This also changes the stage. To buff it up, shoot at the ramp during games. As its value doesn't reset across games, all one has to do is play multiple games to buff it up.

No Solar Value
Pretty self-explanitory. Players are not allowed to accrue Solar Value across multiple games, and as such, must reset/power on before each run.

100%
Since a majority of the games "levels" are skipped in the any% categories, I've decided to add 100%. Pin Bot has 3 different game boards with 6 different stages. (*Copied from the Pin Bot NES wiki*) In the NES version of the game, successfully scoring a Solar bonus during multiball causes the playfield to change, effectively resulting in six different "levels" of playfield. The shape of the playfield and the locations of all targets remain the same throughout the game, but the playfield's color scheme changes and different enemies begin appearing after Level 1. Level 2 introduces a blob that advances through the planets, then when sitting on top of the Sun lamp, attempts to suck in and eat the ball and spit. In Level 3, a plane flies around the playfield, occasionally holding a missile that drops when the plane is destroyed by the ball or disappears on its own. The missile drops toward one of the flippers, damaging or destroying the flipper if allowed to reach it. Level 4 features the same plane, but the plane can now catch the ball and carry it away. Levels 5 and 6 both introduce a snake that appears in the outlanes and attempts to grab the ball, pulling it into the outlane. In all cases where the ball is "captured" by an enemy, the enemy can be defeated by "shaking" the machine repeatedly.

So glad to see others interested in this game. This game was a childhood favorite of mine and was my first game request to Speedrun.com. Please feel free to message me with any thoughts, criticisms, or suggestions about the leaderboards, the rules, or anything else!

Hey, I think you've done well on the rule changes, but I want to make a couple of requests. First, I'd say swap the non glitched run to be the primary. I also think you could swap the names so that the glitched one is Any% Solar Value or something, but I don't feel strongly about it. Last, can you remove the reset requirement from the non-glitched run? Having an accrued solar value doesn't help you unless you use it, and you can see that in a run pretty easily since it triggers stage 2.

Changes to the Leaderboards.
