Time starts when I hit start on the main title screen to when the princess touches the ground (which I believe is the J-RTA timing).
Good run until I botched stage 5 loop 2. I forgot to ditch the sheild as goddess bracelet comes out of chest number 3 when you have gold armor but no shield. This mistake lead to a magician spawn instead of the bracelet. I'm not even going to talk about the stage that follows. One day I will have my revenge.
