Possible Subcategory for Death Wish?

Seeing as how Seal the Deal is on the Switch version of the game, the version I and probably some other person/people play, I am/we're a little... stuck, when it comes to the rules when speedrunning Death Wish. The current ruleset, stating that it must use the file from resources, pretty much voids all Switch and/or all console runs. I'm pretty much suggesting a new subcategory, in which you have to have completed all 18 candle objectives (and reset all Death Wishes) before starting the run. I say 18 instead of 21 because Zero Jumps can actually be reset, unlike the other candles. In the case of Nyakuza Metro, you will have to obtain 73 objectives instead of 70, and explicitly state in your run wether or not it's installed. Dunno, it's an idea, add it if you want.

It actually states "For this category it's highly recommended you use the Death Wish file available in the Resources section of speedrun.com." You don't actually have to it's just timing the run gets a little wacky but it's okay if you can't use the Save File or even don't want to. flarebear's All Stamps run happened in a 110% run for examples of runs not using the save file.

Yup, since the file in resources already has everything you are free to use your own file that has all hats and badges and roulette skins as long as the first dialogue when snatcher first appears on your ship for death wish isn't cleared to be more specific. If you want to use your own file you'd just have to do math to figure out the final time as Silver stated.
