Does the pause buffering (particularly used to do frame-perfect inputs to start the rocketbarrels faster) still work the same way in the Switch port?

I never actually did this firsthand in the original version so I'm probably not the best person to test, so I was wondering if anyone had tried it. I will test it eventually when I get to that point in the game, though.

Does this let you skip the Road to Sky Garden mission? Most "story" mission have some kind of element which doesn't spawn until the previous one is completed, but with this it looks like you might just be able to keep going to the Broodals.
