When pianist's current Bowser's Fury PB was cross-posted to r/speedrun, I skimmed through it to check shine counts at each bell as I've been doing for records, as that seems to be the main way time is saved in the run. I noticed something strange, however- I'll copy what I wrote there here.
[quote]I was jumping around through the run to check shine counts at each bell, and noticed the timer freeze at 25:36.66 from 25:58 to 26:31 in the video, where it resumes.

I figured that this was something that should be brought up so that the mods were aware of a potential error, or so that the reason why can be explained.
