Hey I quite curious here and I’m also a green thumb here but when you’re transitioning from level are you aloud to pause time and continue when spyro hits the ground of the levels?
the timing method used for console is IGT (in game timer) in the top right of the guidebook. The RTA timer isn't used for leaderboard purposes just because it would be unfair to someone who played on ps4 vs ps4 pro, for example, where the loads would be faster. PC has a loadless timer but currently nothing exists like that for console.
