What's this Background category? Is this a custom ROM?

It seems that the tiles are removed and only the "events" and the background are left. Looks hard. :oops2:

Random thought: Rayman 1 Any% is actually 100% and Beat Mr Skops is the true Any%. 🤯

Interesting new skip for the game that warps you straight to Mr Dark's Dare:



It does however require memory card manipulation and, while it may lead to a new speedrunning category, I doubt this will see much traction.

Is it me or the categories were changed and 100% is now the old Any% and Any% is now that memory card manipulation glitch?
