Here's something I recently discovered upon looking up the Relic records for this level.

There's a "glitch" of sorts where the Time Trial clock doesn't disappear as long as you don't shoot and destroy the red satellites that are surrounding and shielding the 3 space stations that you have to destroy. The clock's disappearance isn't triggered if you have Coco ram her spaceship right at the satellites to instantly destroy them, nor does the clock disappear if you shoot and destroy the spaceships themselves.

So if you're trying to get as much out of this as possible AND can stay alive the whole time, use this method on the first two space stations, smash into the last one's satellites, shoot up the spaceship, but not enough to blow it up, THEN go back to the clock that still should be there after all of this time, then finally, go back to the last space station and finish it off! Enjoy your semi-free Platinum Relic.

If you don't think you can get a Platinum record in this level the normal way, you can try this unintended alternate way. Of course, you have to keep your health up while doing this, because Coco's spaceship loses 25% of its health every time it hits a satellite.

This method might be harder than just getting a Platinum Relic the normal way if you're not good at dodging the enemy's shots or having them crash into you, no pun intended, but this is very interesting to know regardless.

I'm definitely NOT going to count this for my playthrough, though. So I didn't save after this. I have another video of me getting this level's Platinum Relic the normal way.
