Pet Simulator 99 Roblox Time Trials Guide – Best Build, Tips, and How to Score Higher

The Time Trials in Pet Simulator 99 are one of the most exciting yet frustrating competitive modes in the game right now. Whether you are a free-to-play grinder or someone with a stacked inventory, there is always something to optimize. I have put together everything you need to know to perform better in this mode.

What Are Time Trials in Pet Simulator 99?

Time Trials is a minigame in Pet Simulator 99, located in Area #274 (Toadstool Throne) in the Fantasy World. Players compete to destroy all the breakables in each pile as fast as possible. There are 5 tiles, each with 6 waves of breakables, followed by a final boss wave once all 6 waves of every pile are completed. The faster you destroy the breakables, the more points you earn, which can then be used to unlock chests with a chance to award the Titanic Starlight Pony, Huge Starry Eye Bunny, or the Huge Telescope Owl.

You get 10 attempts per day, so every single run counts. There is also a leaderboard system with serious prizes at stake. The top teams in the 48-hour league can earn a Rainbow Shiny Gargantuan, with the top 765 players earning a Titanic Veil Horse and the top 10,765 earning a Huge Knight Golem. That alone should tell you just how competitive this mode can get.

The Pet Setup: Why Rainbow Shiny Pets Are Everything

This is the most important part of the whole guide, and I want to be completely upfront with you: if you do not have rainbow shiny pets, your ceiling in Time Trials is going to be capped. Even with Titanics equipped, you are still going to get beaten by players running a full rainbow shiny loadout. A rainbow shiny huge outclasses the Titanic by a significant margin in terms of raw power output.

That said, here is what we recommend for those who do not have rainbow shiny pets:

• The best stat pet you can find in the plaza, ideally a rainbow shiny version
• If that is not available, a rainbow shiny Knight Golem works as a solid substitute
• Free-to-play players should aim for at least a score of 320 as a baseline target

The good news is that you can visit the fuse machine to fuse pets and get a chance at crafting a rainbow shiny, which is why we already see so many inside the game. It is not guaranteed, but it is an avenue worth exploring if you are sitting on duplicate pets.

The Right Enchant Loadout

Your enchant build is the second most impactful factor after your pets. Here is what works best for Time Trials:

• Chain Lightning is your most valuable enchant. When you are positioned close to a pile, the lightning jumps between breakables and sometimes even reaches nearby zones, allowing you to clear multiple waves faster than tapping alone
• Mega Chest Breaker (or regular Chest Breaker if you do not have it) for the boss wave
• Tap Power enchants are useful, but the stronger pet slots they replace may not add much if your pet team is average; testing with and without them showed only minimal differences
• Orb enchants are conditionally useful. If you are consistently missing breakables, they help. But once you know the tile layouts and can break everything cleanly, that slot is better used elsewhere

One important thing that often gets overlooked: turning your pets off when you enter the arena can actually help. With pets active, they wander around and can visually clutter your view of the breakables. Keeping them off lets you watch each wave clearly and ensures you are not wasting an orb enchant slot to compensate for missed hits.

Boosts and the Hot Cocoa/Cookie Question

There has been a lot of discussion in the community about whether the seasonal hot cocoa and cookie boosts actually work inside Time Trials. After testing, the conclusion is that they do not visibly register in your boosts panel during a run, and the time difference with and without them appears to be negligible. Until there is confirmed data proving otherwise, I would not spend heavily on these items specifically for Time Trials.

What you should focus on instead:

• Stack every legitimate boost available to you before entering
• Buy your boosts before the event or update begins, since prices in the plaza tend to spike once a new event goes live
• Place a shiny flag if you have one, as some players believe it provides a minor benefit (though this has not been conclusively tested)

The Leaderboard Reality: Alt Accounts and the Ceiling Problem

I want to be honest about something that makes Time Trials uniquely frustrating compared to other PS99 content. The leaderboard is heavily impacted by alt accounts. Players transfer powerful rainbow shiny pets to alternate accounts, run Time Trials on those accounts, and effectively flood the top rankings. A large number of players were actually being removed from the leaderboards entirely on the first day due to suspicious activity.

What this means for the average player is that competing for the absolute top spots in the daily leaderboard is not realistic without an extraordinary pet loadout. Your time around 3 minutes and a few seconds is going to be your realistic floor. Shaving off milliseconds is possible through better positioning and enchant optimization, but the gap between that and leaderboard-topping times comes almost entirely from pet power.

This does not mean Time Trials is not worth playing. The daily chest rewards are still very accessible, and the updated system rewards players based on speed, improvement, and daily streak, with up to 10 runs per day available. Consistency pays off here, even if you never touch the top of the leaderboard.

Tips for Free-to-Play Players

If you are playing without spending Robux, Time Trials is still very much worth your daily 10 runs. Here is a focused approach:

• Use Chain Lightning as your primary enchant
• Skip Tap Power and Strong Pet books if they are consuming slots you need for utility enchants
• Run without pets active to better track breakables
• Do not feel pressured to buy expensive boosts that have unconfirmed effects
• Prioritize fusing any spare pets in the fuse machine for a chance at a rainbow shiny upgrade

The realistic target for free-to-play players is somewhere in the 3-minute 20-second range, which is still good enough to earn daily chest points consistently.

Final Thoughts

Time Trials in Pet Simulator 99 is a well-designed mode that, unfortunately, becomes a pet power race at the top end. For most of us, the focus should be on clean execution, the right enchant loadout, and making smart use of our daily attempts rather than chasing the leaderboard. Chain Lightning is the anchor of any solid build here, and turning your pets off during runs is a small trick that genuinely makes a difference when it comes to breakable visibility. Keep grinding, fuse when you can, and do not sleep on your daily attempts. The streak bonuses add up over time, and consistent play is what separates players who walk away with Huge pets from those who do not.
