When a level is completed, the score is displayed in a new window, as seen in the image above. The window's title is always "''Level Complete!''". The window itself then includes the victory message, time bonus, level bonus, level score, and total score. Below the total score is a place for a message that declares any score improvement. If there is no improvement, no message is shown. The shown message, stating "''You have established a time record for this level!''", will be shown whenever a level is completed for the first time.
