Yo, so I did a few runs of this today and noticed that the bonus levels count as a level, so you can still complete Level 11 even with a bonus stage in the mix. Adding to this, the bonus stages take less time than the regular stages.

The rules don't really clarify this, but does completing Level 11 without killing the pirate ship boss not count as a complete run? Sorta need to know before I submit a run because my time with a bonus level in the mix completes the game 2 minutes faster than without bonus levels lol.
