Currently the star animations count in the total time and you need a certain version of bike race to be able to skip it.

A run I had before I knew about this was beaten by 7 seconds by a run that skipped the animations, while the sum of those times was 5 seconds slower than the sum of mine. This means that the individual times don't matter at all anymore, the only thing that matters is how fast you can press next level.

Even if I were to use that specific version of bike race, how fast I can click would still have a major influence on how good the run is, and I don't think being able to click fast should be a skill that is required to get good bike race speedruns.

This would only work if all runs were driven in the first attempt, so it should probably only apply in the 8 level categories.

I completely agree

We had this discussion before and it would be nice, the only issue is what to do with deaths? How does that add onto your time?

Counting the time on that level from the first frame on which that level is visible would be the best I think.

Most runs in a 8 level category will have all runs driven first try anyway I think.

Ah. I thought best times of individual levels.

Counting the time on that level from the first frame on which that level is visible would be the best I think.

I like this idea, who wants to be a mod with me and retime everything?

I can help, but is the difference between 2 and 4 digits not a problem?

EDIT: wait thats not what you meant, how does someone count the time on the exact frame?

If it's a youtube video it can be done with the , and . keys, which move the video forwards and backwards by 1 frame. If it's another type of video I don't know.

Oh cool I didn't know that

I agree
