Hi,

I got some questions about the "Spend as little time as possible in xxx" speedrun achievements.

1. Are there now specific times available? The ones from GooeyPwnage (http://supermeatboy.com/forum/index.php/topic,2051.0.html) seem not to be right.

2. Are warpzones and character levels counted?

3. Is there any other way to lookout the chaptertime without SMB Stats? Btw. it's normal that this program shows wrong times at the warpzones? (0 or 5 secs)

Thanks for any help.

Well, I know that warp zones and character levels are not counted towards your total chapter time, I got the 'medium' achievement before I did any of the warp zones...

Thanks, so I can stop focus on them.
So only question 1 is still relevant for me.

Answer 1: It's 495 seconds per world, I think.

[MMM]

Hmm no.. In accordance with SMB Stats I got the following times:

C1: Total levels time: 291.585 / 457.500  (Got it after improvements of single levels, so it should be close to this)

C2: Total levels time: 474.598 / 754.500 (Don't have it yet)

C5: Total levels time: 736.637 / 1010.500 (Got it right at startup without improving anything. So this has not to be close)

These are the simplest of achievements for me, except Well Done, I had to finish 5-3X Spank to do it.

So much hate for that level. Forever stupefied by those godforsaken gravity orbs.

Anyway, I think the achievement is not too terrible to get. I'm not the greatest player out there by any means and I don't speedrun most of the levels, and I still got all the achievements on startup. Just slowly make your way through the worlds again and you'll be fine.

Recently just did my preliminary speedrun of 5-3x (19 something secs) with Runman...and yeah it's a pretty cool puzzler with all those orbs, figuring out the fastest way through.  But for me at least it shines a light on how poorly/consistently the mechanics like orbs fail to produce the same results every time.

With the anniversary package info popping up today, I decided to dig out this game again, which I haven't touched since the Summer Camp Sale. I wanted to get some of the new "Spend as little time as possible in X", and so far I got four of them, Forest, Salt Factory, Hell (obviously) and The Rapture. Only the Hospital is missing.

But this is the overall problem, how the hell am I supposed to do that? I A+'ed everything in this game to 106% (literally), broke my own records several times and now come to a total of 147.24 seconds in the Hospital's light world. Unless I'm also forced to squeeze every last centi-second out of the dark world, I just can't get what I'm doing wrong.

Does anyone know?

Oh, the Hospital one was the second one I got, I was trying to get needle boy and blood clot boy, and this popped up out of nowhere after I finished 2-12X Grey Matter.

Ok, either dark worlds are indeed also necessary for these achievements, or this is really, REALLY strange coincidence. I just finished said level again, 2-12x. I didn't even try hard, as my old record there was kinda week (must've been set in the first few weeks of my playtime), but now I got it.

I don't even know what to say, because this is incredibly confusing. Thank you very much! :)
