the pipe just takes you back no matter what you do

Hi there Kirua! The version I used was FCEUX 2.2.3 (same as before!)

Final time was 3:11.29, and since the timer was running at 30fps (compared to gameplay footage wich was running at 60) next 2 frames it would have been 03:12.00 so I assumed I had to round up the time (since there was no decimals).

I hope this answers your question.
