Instead of having to make a new profile after every failed run, I think if we don't get past arrow we can just use the same profile. I tested this and it does save a bit of time as a skip box pops up after the first run on the profile. This skip only saves 1-2 secs but would make running the game a lot less painful. Of course I think any run past arrow needs a new profile. Let me know what you guys think.
I have acquired and tested runs on a Japanese copy of the game. I decided to make this forum post because I discovered that the Japanese version is significantly slower than the others. You do gain advantages in Patchwork, because of the scrolling text. However, you lose ~30 seconds in Pirates because of the non-scrolling text. I thought this might be interesting to mention.
