Hi - I just submitted a run for Captain Comic (NES). First off, let me know if I need to do anything differently about it, it's my first time every submitting a speed run for anything. I don't mind re-doing it and re-recording if I have to.

Second, I had a rule clarification. The rules say that the timer ends when you grab the third treasure. It didn't come up in my run, but there's a bit of a weird loophole and I was wondering how you count it. It's possible to get near the third treasure in the castle, get hit by a bunch of those weird bat/ghost things, and lose all your health. But, in the second or so that the game gives you before you actually die, it's possible to hit that third treasure.

If you do, you still die, and the game doesn't end. You start again at the first floor door, and can get back up to the second floor with the same glitch as usual. When you do, you then go into the ending sequence. So, my question is, in that situation, when is the run considered to have ended? When you grabbed the treasure, or when the game zaps you away?
