The mystery racer which can only be accessed by password will now be available as a separate category for speedruns, enjoy.
Something worth noting, the password commonly found for this category is only for the Rookie difficulty. In fact I do not believe there exists any online resource for a password that unlocks the mystery racer on Veteran and Warrior. The only way to obtain one would be for someone to hack the games code and produce a specialty password.
If anyone is up to the task of actually doing that, I would use it to run the mystery racer Veteran and Warrior categories.
From what i understand (do correct me if I'm wrong) the mystery racer has +1 on all 4 stats (like olaf), he starts with a fully maxed havac with 999k cash, is that correct? If so, you could actually use a password generator and use olaf for the selected driver and would be the same technically, right?
I made a black havac with olaf, fully upgraded with 999k cash starting on Chem IV, veteran difficulty. Password was W4FF-C0TX-5TJ! (I made the password here: http://www.barcodebattler.co.uk/SORR/pwGen2up.htm). This could be used to "replicate" the mystery race, besides the bugged avatar and be functional for the leaderboard. Could even change the car due to preference. No sure if it works or not, I'm not super familiar with the game since these runs are my first contact with the game in more than 10 years,
Regarding this category and VS mode. Why not have Mystery Racer as a category along with VS mode. Then have the variables Rookie, Veteran and Warrior for them.
