Hey there, I was wondering: how many challenges need to be completed for each respective difficulty of ladder mode? I noticed the beginner run only completes 5 challenges. Also, do I need to start each run on a new save file? If so, does anyone know how to do so? Thanks!

The max that each difficulties show, and you arent allowed to use the save file, always use a new one

thanks for the help! so how do you create a new save file for this game?

I actually did not know there was save file for laser arena, but I'd not recommend to use that too, as the game is old, it may break

hmmmm... well I can't see any way to delete my save file, and the game just saves automatically. playing on my save file is the only way I can speedrun beginner ladder mode. In all reality though, playing with a completed save file is slightly slower anyway, since you have to scroll through more menu items in between every challenge.
