Hello, I'm new at running Sonic Game Gear games and wanted to ask exactly how your time is computed? I see it's real time minus time bonuses, but when exactly do you stop the clock and when do you resume? It appears for Sonic 1 (1991 GG) that you stop when the blue screen comes on and resume at some point when there is around 15,000 points remaining to be added, but can someone confirm or correct this?

Thank you, much appreciated!
