What is that SP?

It starts the clock from the beginning of the game and ends when you killed ballos.

Wow, that is pretty cool...

I'm inspired to see how fast I can beat the game now. o_o

quick edit*

Maybe you could also do what SeriousFace does in his Boss Rush mod, like make a message appear at the end of the game(After Ballos) that shows that you didn't somehow cheat or something.

Oh yeah, but I don't know how to do that, it just saves a profile and a rec file... Also editing for one message only isn't worth the time lol
But maybe some other member have an idea how to make it cheat protected...?

Well it's not that big of a deal I guess, as the only way I could think of someone cheating on it would be just going to Hell and sitting around till the timer got really high and calling it their time for the whole game hahah.

Does the time save if the game saves? I'm guessing it doesn't but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Well, I wanna see ingame screenshots before I trust the person who made this time ;) You can just make them when ure talking to some person because countdown stops then.
Would be self-deception anyway.

I don`t think so but that's not the primary goal, it just is for checking if you skipped something or used the lifepot ;)

Best thing I can think of for a full cavestory time attack is...

-Setting the timer to start upon beginning the game
-Removing all the save points from the game
-Hoping cutscenes won't absorb the time
-Maybe hacking the timer so it's hours'minutes"seconds, rather than minutes'seconds"Milsecs

I'll slap together a quick mod of this after school today.

Which I already did :D

I also did.

I didn't do that because removing the cutscenes is a criticial thing, the mod might not work when all cutscenes are removed, because some of them are important to NPC's.

I think this might take a bit longer than just a afternoon ;)

I was trying to make use of pausing to stop the timer during one run, and that was when I learned that pausing the game (items menu) takes away your invincibility from getting hit...

I died shortly after figuring this out.
