Well, I tried all the tips about doing the summoned bonus stage 3x. Didn't improve much, maybe 1 second, from 35 to 34 seconds in the 1st run. I think I'll give up and be happy with 2x per summoning.

Well, I spoke too soon. I just was able to do it 3x but the 3rd run had 1 second left on the timer.
