This is a simple listing of how long each character's intro cutscene audio is in the "Play the Show" mode, from shortest to longest. Having characters with shorter cutscenes in the game helps in reducing time from the run. Please note:

• Characters in the "Special" character class do not come up as randomly selected CPU characters. If attempting to save time with these, it's best to select your playable character as John Henson due to this.
• These are timed by how long the audio files are (rounded to the nearest tenth), not by how long the intro cutscene lasts. There's likely a few extra milliseconds of time to all of these in-game.
• There are some extra intro clips that exist in the files of the game that are excluded from this list, due to not being used in the vanilla game.
• Some characters have two intro clips used for them. For these characters, one of the two intro clips will get randomly selected.
• This requires some good RNG to get an at least decent lineup of characters. If you're not satisfied with the randomly selected characters, you can redo the selection by going back to the character selection screen or the main menu. (though beware of the game crashing, as doing this a lot can overwhelm it in my experiences lol)
• It's best not to dwell on this too much unless you're aiming to get a good run in the PTS category. (in which case, I wish you the best of luck, not only with this, but the various other things you'll need luck for)
