This script adds a more accurate in-game timer overlay to Sonic the Hedgehog series games. It displays the subsecond time on the main clock as well as an additional display of the time it actually took to go from the timer starting to the post-stage score screen.
This includes a breakdown of frames added from lag, pausing the game, and most importantly, post-stage actions that delayed the score screen.
Works with the entire main Sonic series.
