Still really new to this. Lots of practice with the everdrive. Have most levels down enough now where I can finish the game with a mix of fast and safe strats. Would like to at least see where I'm at ballpark on a time. I don't have a computer setup to it yet or streaming...not recording...but I know some target ending times I shoot for on each level. If I were to write down the ending time on each level, I assume I could get the ballpark run time I'm after. Question is, has anyone done this? Maybe has made a chart or something? Once I get fairly consistent I should be able to note the time at the end of the stage and know if I'm ahead or behind pace at least - and know, when I beat the game, about how fast it was. I'll save OBS and recording for when I approach the 200th place times. That's my goal! Thanks!

Here's my split file for my high 4:58 run - It has no "tricks" like FPG or BBG - the only "tricks" it has is the wrong warp in 4-2 and the wall jump in 8-4

1-1 29 seconds 1-2 33 seconds 4-1 34 seconds 4-2 31 seconds 8-1 48 seconds 8-2 36 seconds 8-3 35 seconds 8-4 47 seconds

Those are all times with the tenth place cut off - not rounded

That should give you a general idea of what time to shoot for - I split at the BLACK screen at the end of a level.

Great! Thank you! This should work exactly the way I was thinking. Will just catch my time at the end of the level...note the +X seconds and add them as I go. From now on I'll be chasing Darpey!
