To start from a fresh file, go to Adventure > Map > Bonus > Start from Beginning. You must have beaten Adventure Mode once and updated your game to get the Bonus tab. Setting the game to a different language does not save much time, Simplified Chinese is currently the fastest, being ~4s faster than English while Japanese only saves ~2s from English, from just the intro cutscene of the game.
