Yeah, to count they need to be alive, otherwise no, now we just need to get the attention of a mod

Could just be happy wheels being buggy, so as long as victory still showed up and played the sound it's still fine, just taking advantage of a neat bug with some lucky RNG or something!

I'm not sure because the victory screen doesn't show in that kind of replay, and also in the Chaos City video I mention the character has been dead for well over 5 seconds so it's pretty unlikely the game could've bugged. On the second one I'll admit is a possibility.

Same goes for Bigfoot Forest, their character dies upon touching the wall, before touching the floor, necessary for the "victory" screen to pop. I've tested it a bit and touching the wall doesn't make "victory" appear.

User |'s world record appears to be headless... and a head is necessary to claim victory?

I know it says "Completed time" but for "victory" to pop the character needs to be alive.
