During my run i found that the In-Game timer still goes on during the background. This happens during when players exit the stage and cutscenes. Should it be consider or not?

The rules say In-Game timer but it is often wrong and will not work during certain times like in one of my run. I uploaded a whole run so everyone can understand what i mean:

I also noticed it when I was doing my first speedrun. It is considered right now, but I think it should not.

We would have a look on it

So, did you have a look on it?

So yea we looked into the timer adding in the bg of a stage finishing n stuff should be considered in the total sibce its the games given time. However as for stage 2-17 counting as just 0:00 or 1:20 it is undecided.

For now we will count the stage 2-17 timer as zero, at least until the game decides to remove that bug in future patches.
