Any% Unrestricted uses a glitch that is banned from the regular Any%. The glitch in question allows you to become completely invisible and inaudible to the NPCs. I initially expected this glitch to save way more time, but it turns out that it is not possible to do it correctly in a lot of the maps and on some other maps it is somewhat useless because the regular way is consistent and fast enough already. It is still better to have the categories split imo, because the glitch itself is too powerful and kind of gets rid of the point of the game/speedrun. This run (even with the glitch) ended up being a few seconds slower than my normal Any% PB. However, I don't take this category too seriously and this serves mostly as a proof of concept run.

The splits that have a checkmark next to them are the maps where I decided to use the glitch in the run.

Because of how this glitch works with the quicksaves and quickloads right after the level loads, I decided to make the rules so that the load removal doesn't remove anything past the level load screens where the glitch is used. So in this case, this would be Iceland, Prison, Cozumel 1, and Kinshasa 1.
Other than that, the timing is identical.

Shoutout to Marius who found this glitch!
