Why does it show up sometimes, and doesn't appear the other times?

If it doesn't show, it means you got EXACTLY your best time again. I ran the individual levels on a new game, to reset the times.

so if i were to submit a run where the timer didn't show, then show my best time, would you count it? if for example i didnt record my best time on accident

edit: also i think there's a mistake on my level 1 run, it should be 620 milliseconds not 062 my b

Sadly, no. The "best time" stats ignores the mode played, so I can't know if you got it on normal, reverse or hardcore. I also don't know for sure at which exact frames the timer starts and ends, so I can't deduce it from the video itself.

why would that matter? you'd see the mode i played it on by the gameplay itself, no? and if the timer isn't shown that means there's only one possible time it could be, the best time

Hmm, yes, that could work. You are allowed to show the best time of the level in that case.

But please, make sure in next videos that the video quality makes the text readable (I updated the rules). The font is kinda funky by itself, so I should see the numbers clearly.

sorry about that, i didnt realise the res was so bad (had to bump bandicam now cause shit pc). the next one i submit will have that same problem too, unfortunately ):
