Cheeseoman | Gotcha Force--Insane Challenge Mode Speed Run--9:33 @cheeseoman | Uploaded June 2020 | Updated October 2024, 23 minutes ago.
Of the three difficulties, Insane is by far the most affected by randomness. This is so not only because it's the longest, but also because many individual battles vary greatly in the amount of time they take. So, I had to keep my expectations reasonable; having 15 great battles in a row just isn't going to happen. Nonetheless, I was very lucky in this run. None of the battles went badly (which is rare) and some were quite fast. Battle 14 probably has the largest fluctuations in length since you can get stuck fighting lots of large fortresses, but I only had to fight one this time.

I make heavy use of mutant borgs in all these runs. See my explanation on this wiki page for more information:

Thanks to Voltrox747 and Death Eye for their research into the 20th force glitch and mutant borgs. Thanks to jamescom1 for his early work on Gotcha Force speed running.
