I agree that is the best way to fix this issue. Final Answer should still be required though because it's not really a bonus level.

Nevermind, it's actually called FINAL ANSWER

It's located after level 15. The Any% World Record does it but misses HIDE ROOM 2

Also I don't think it requires collecting cats like HIDE ROOM 1 and 2

you unlock it after collecting enough cats, like the other bonus levels.

I think you forgot to add it to Any% and the level runs

I fixed it.

What emulator is recommended for playing this game right now I'm using Ruffle and having severe lag, so I'm wondering if there is a better option or a way to fix lag? I've tried allocating memory to paging but it didn't really work.

Here are couple concepts I made

Sounds simple enough. I'm not a mod though so someone else would have to do that.

That sounds good. I have a couple ideas for the top 3 but I'm uncertain how it would work because I have no experience with using the moderator tools.

I made this in like 20 minutes

Yeah I agree it's kinda silly

There's not really much of a difference between dying in the First Version and dying in the Stabilizer Update.

I personally think having 4 versions of pretty much the exact same run isn't a very good idea, and it will only get worse as the game continues getting updated.

Sounds good. Should I message the moderators about splitting Any%?

Note for verifiers: Please move this to the "no re-rolls" leaderboards when they are split.

Also, retime to 1:30.74 (I was unaware we are using IGT now)

The no-rerolls category should be timed with RTA as well to remain consistent with past runs.

I agree with that idea.

The Stabilizer Update recently added a more accurate IG timer; however, it only counts up during gameplay. This means someone could stay on the item screen for minutes straight, re-rolling the items before each level until they get the perfect 3 item combo.

This is interesting to optimize and a cool challenge in it's own right, but it's antithetical to the concept of speedrunning. There is a reason why Minecraft switched to RTA after people started excessively pausing.

The current method of RTA timing works fine; let's not change it please.
