for all the dual courses Best Race = Best Lap since the courses are only a singular lap.

maybe just consolidate both categories

iLs Best Race category should be time attack, this way the category is a bit more standardized and not some are run with bots (grand prix courses) and some arent.

Best Lap might also be time attack only? for the same reason

where does one enter the codes ? player name CHIPPIE and WOODSTOCK dont work for me somehow

I don't know how often you tried it, but I noticed that sometimes the AI fires like some bunch of maniacs regardless of the frame rate. In some of my runs I died on Kollers mission and other times I didn't even took a single hit. I would argue it's because either not dashed properly or just random AI behavior.

Recording I get about 20-30 fps, without recording 50-55 fps and there is no difference for me.

Glitchless seems more like a kinda faster Playthrough, I just don't see the competitive aspect of that and the need to keep track of it.

Difficulty and ghost should absolutely not be a thing. The categories would be exactly the same, because essentially you can use ghost regardless of the "category" (Ghost/No Ghost). We are in no need to create 10 categories of the same run^^
