Hi, will you be adding hard mode as a category extension? You unlock it by beating the game, going to the start menu, and pressing L,R,L,R,X,X,Y,Y.

You can only use it on a completed file, so you can't exactly make it a category. also the levels don't change too much with the challenge mode so it wouldn't look too different from any%

also different versions of the game have different levels that are activated in challenge mode which could give an unfair advantage, and some levels might be impossible

when a level consist on just going forward, is absolutely undiferent with the hard mode lmao but yeah some levels have cool things with that mode
