The level completion tracking with the Death Wish candle seems glitchy. For example, completing "Down with the Mafia" didn't complete the candle nor did it add to the counter, while "She came from outer space" only completed the candle without increasing the counter.
The other bonuses to the candle seem to work properly... at least the "Train rush" one, wasn't able to complete the other ones.

Edit: By "completing the candle" meaning the initial "Beat a level with the acceleration badge", while meaning the "Beat 3 different levels" by the counter. May be linked to the time pieces already being collected.

Edit 2: Beating "Toilet of doom" or "The birdhouse" added to the counter properly. There doesn't really seem to be a pattern as to what does and what doesn't add to it.

Retrieving the hat stolen by a cat thief in the Alpine Skyline resets the acceleration metre to 100% and makes the conditions of the Death Wish candle (if it is enabled) show up again.

I'll look into Down with Mafia not procing the time piece but I do believe the reason it doesn't probably because of the death wish version.

The "Collect 1 TP" is required to start progressing the 3 TP objective, additionally custom death wishes will not proc the collect 3 TP, all time pieces when collected are saved and therefore cannot complete similar levels again, this is done to avoid cheesing and this is similarly can be found with Zero Jump deathwish in the game files.

Previously, it was collect 5 TP, and doing main and bonus objectives will add to the counter, but this was removed in 2.0 because it removes the ability to try levels to a point you can just play "welcome to mafia town" only, its probably a personal opinion but I believe this allowed players to try a variety of normal levels and even modded levels.

I've tried multiple solutions and honestly this is probably almost impossible due how the cats were coded, when you get your hat back the inventory of the player gets reset, result in a lot of code spaghetti being refreshed including the badges despite still being active passively.

Perhaps it'd be better to rename the bonus candle to completing 3 more different levels in this case? "Beat 3 different levels" seems to imply that the initial level should count, with the game doing the same in its death wishes, such as with the "No jumps" candle, where completing "Train rush" can complete the candle, complete the bonus for collecting that specific timepiece, and progress on the '4 timepieces' bonus at once.

I'll see what I can do once I do this soon™ to be released update I'm planning the past few weeks, I'lll update the localization to fit the bonus more accurately.
