Time starts when you click the "Start" button. Time ends when you finish the last of Explosion Man's text, and he says "I'll go get your first mission for ya." Specifically, right before the "endDemo" message is broadcasted. Speedrun Tips: (If you have tips, suggest them in the comments below!) - @maxers: You can dash across flat ground to travel much more quickly than running. You don't have to wait until you're done dashing to press space to enter doors. - @maxers: During the Explosion Man fight, the ideal position to stand to dodge any bomb is below and just to the outside of the platform. If he shoots a missile towards you, press A to dash to the other side. If he throws ground charges, jump onto the platform, and if he throws a bomb upwards, you can walk to underneath center of the platform. Always return to the starting position after a bomb is thrown.
added an in-game timer so you can know if the run is going poorly or not.
