This means if you beat wave 12 and die on wave 13, you would need to beat wave 8 to have beaten 20 waves total. A wave is considered beaten when it shows the next wave (so if it says “Wave 10”, you have beaten 9 waves).

This should not provide a time advantage to anyone, but will provide an out to anyone who dies late in their run or has trouble getting 100k points. To clarify further, the 100k point goal would have to be in a single run. 20 waves total can be over multiple runs.

A special note about the asteroid section: You can grab shields to take asteroid impacts before you do this stage – 2 per shield. Dying keeps your shields, so you can grab a shield, die, and grab the same shield again for extra safety. You can also pause during the asteroid section to make it easier.
