Having played through the PS5 version on diff 4, and a relative of mine claiming he can beat it on PC on diff 5, I came to this page to see what the Renegade Legend WR was, and saw to my astoundment that seemingly every single run had been played on diff 1 where Ratchet/Rivet supposedly can't even take damage or recoil from enemies, making the runs almost unrecognisable as being Rift Apart.

I'd understand if it'd be much to keep track of if there were 5 difficulty categories, but I greatly wish for at least a few Renegade Legend (diff 5) subcategories to be added, even if it'd just be, for example, NG any% and NG+ any%?

I've noticed that the current background image for this game's SpeedrunCOM page at the time of writing (https://www.speedrun.com/themeasset/qrj7pygr/background?v=1da3a62) looks kinda small and pixelated on large screens/windows, so I'm proposing to replace it with Microsoft Store's very high-res version (https://store-images.s-microsoft.com/image/apps.35750.14625216299148424.918436cd-3472-4a8b-8b23-f7afa98af23e.7c66397a-a1be-4edf-ad61-0699a8a69988?q=100) instead?

In Island Cycling's Free Course difficulty, the game openly challenges the player to pop all 20 balloons that are spread widely throughout the island in less than 30 minutes, and which are not displayed on the in-game map. Considered very difficult by most players to accomplish within those 30 minutes, I recall doing it in mere 22min in 2015 by starting on the grasspatch near the top of the volcano.

I therefore propose adding that as a category or level for speedruns.
