I was playing time trials and tried to quit bet the screen turned black, but I still heard viridian so I reopened vvvvvv and...
Whoa! thats weird. I've seen a LOT of glitches in this game but I've never seen this one... what version of the game do you play this on? Also were you playing the warp zone time trial when this happened or a different level?
This is a known bug (transition quit glitch), but it's not useful in the speedrunning realm as of yet.

This worked with time trails (I played warp zone), The only exception is the final level.
How I replicated it is on the iPad version (not pc) go to menu>quit then SPAM THE MENU AS HARD AS POSSIBLE, stop when the screen turns black.
(Turn up your volume!)
Now play blind untill you hear a checkpoint; once you do, close the app and reopen it, Finally continue your save file.
