QuébecI've wanted to track the time difference between Wardner (left) and Pyros (right) for a few months now, at least in World 1. It will cost approximately 1 frame per second remaining.
In Wardner, you start with 3:00. In Pyros, you start with 2:00.
In regards to my PB submission, you had an interrogation. Here are the different dip switches:

The difficulty setting will change how many hits are required to kill some enemies, but I'm still unsure if other parts of the game are harder.
Additionally, I think Pyros may be faster than Wardner due to Pyros having less time at the stard and end of level, which results in a shorter countdown.
Perhaps there should be a dip switch rule or multiple categories, but there aren't enough people running this game at the moment.
For info: the timer starts when you take control of Dover and ends when you lose control of Dover after killing Wardner.
