I think it would be a good idea to add a level leaderboard to the game.

How it works: So, there are act selects, you would just use each act as a level, then when you finish that act, you stop the timer.

Beginning each act is easy, since all you have to do is start when you start the act you want to do, though I don't know the end to each act.

Here are my suggestions

Intro: end when you reach the desktop

Act 1: end when the sound effect of the machine shutting down starts to play

Act 2: end when the screen is entirely black

Act 3: end when you press the start in recovery mode button

Finale: end when the screen is entirely white

Intro:End when you reach the desktop Act 1:When the screen turns completely black Act 2:When the screen fades completely to black Act 3:End when you press recovery mode button Finale:Basically pointless

Proberbly should also add bosses+hopeless soul boss

Why the level leaderboard is not added ?

Yeah I don't think there are going to be any other opinions on when the end should be. Just use Jarvis' idea for the end times it doesn't really matter a whole lot.

OK but where is the level leaderboard ?

I don't know I'm not an operator. Rhombu has to do it.

While I don't care much for running IL, I agree on a per level leaderboard.

Please add a level leaderbord.

a level leaderboard can be good for training

As of yesterday, a Level Leaderboard is now a feature for Pony Island on speedrun.com, featuring the acts in the game's NG+ Act Select. A full game savefile is available in resources for your IL needs!
