ALL languages comparison

In June 2023 it has been discovered that there's a time difference in Form Baton cutscenes in some languages. Because there were only English and German runs on the leaderboard, only these two languages has been retimed and compared. Lately I found on YouTube a playlist with all languages, so I retimed them and it looks like this:

German > French > English > Spanish > Italian

Here are calculations:

Here is the playlist if someone would ever need:

Form Cutscene Language Differences

Every form in this game has a cutscene with narration. The length of narration is different between languages of the game. This makes German the fastest language over English by around 29 seconds.

To play the game in German, you need to have a PAL copy of the game. If you're on a PAL wii, change your system language to German. If you're on an NTSC wii, follow [this guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/WiiHacks/comments/q5m9tx/how_to_region_change_your_wii_a_stepbystep_guide/) to set your wii's region to PAL.
