Apparently the higher load times don't matter on switch?

However, there is this one part on Y castle where it takes a few seconds before you can go up the stairs on switch. I imagine the timer is still running there, so if that is the case, then Switch runs are going to be a few seconds slower. Shouldn't matter that much, unless you're like a second or two behind world record, THEN it matters a lot.

I dunno maybe the delay before you can go up the stairs doesn't matter because the timer stops on switch while it's loading or whatever so I could be wrong.

alright nevermind it turns out it isn't because of switch lol

I still should've had WR though, I just didn't know about the super special secret stair technique 🙄

It's the same as the door on the plane on stage 11. Too close/scroll too fast and it won't register as having gone past the load next screen trigger point.

Seen/heard it mentioned a gazillion times on Twitch streams since launch week. :D

Yeah, just don't try to dash or run through a door, at one point you'll get used to it, but that's why you see so many doors or entrances being done while using a special or jumping, can't mess it up like that. However if you decide to special a door, for example the stage 12 staircase, make sure you're holding the right button on the Dpad to actually go in

You can have fun with this especially with Adam and Shiva, just constantly dashing to never load the next screen / fight. Although why you would want to in a speedrun is anyone's guess, but once you know it exists it is fun to mess around with.
