Saving some seconds in epilogues

As we know , after we finish a minigame , we will receive some rating notes . If we do some places well ( your behavior should suggests you to get this minigame passed , of course ) , we will receive some appreciative words . However , in Megamix , at the most only two notes will show . These two notes won't show at the same time . They show one by one , which spends about one more second than only one note shows . So , if we can make some miss deliberately , some notes won't appear.
Let's take the first minigame ' Karate Man ' as an example . If we finish this minigame perfectly , we will receive two notes : 
' You have skill in the fundamentals .'
' Your triple punches were precise!'
However , if we miss one of the ' Hit 3 ! ' deliberately , we will only receive the first note . Yes , the second note disappear . It help you save about one second . 
Having some thoughts to reduce your time to finish this game as soon as possible ? But I must admit that it's not easy for every minigame to find the way to dispear some notes . Some minigames even have 4 positive notes ! And some minigames only show one note even if you pass the minigames perfectly .

Sneaky Spirit Strat (All Categories)

This strat mostly effects the Fake Credits category because Sneaky Spirits is the only mini game that has a large effect on a run's time. All of you know that when you hit a ghost with an arrow, the game triggers a slow down animation, and these animations have different lengths depending on the type of ghost.

The mini game has a total of 8 ghost to hit The 4th and 7th ghost have the longest slow down animations when hit, and you can tell with the build up leading before you have to hit them 

So, if you hit all 8 ghost you'll finish the mini game in about 59.8 seconds.

If you skip both the 4th and 7th ghost, you'll finish he mini game in about 54.8 seconds (5 seconds saved). Missing two ghost will guarantee an "OK" as well. Miss anymore than two ghost and you'll fail the mini game.

But there is a way to actually miss three ghost and still pass with an "OK". You have to hit 5 ghost with "Perfect" timing (rainbow star circle). At the result screen you'll be given a score of about 58, then a bubble text comes up saying "But there was some good parts", and will bump your score up to about 60 which is enough to pass the game. BUT THIS ONLY HAPPENS if you can hit 5 ghost with "Perfect" timing.  

So this is the most optimal strat:
ghost 1: perfect hit
ghost 2: perfect hit
ghost 3: perfect hit
ghost 4 skip
ghost 5: perfect hit
ghost 6: perfect  hit
ghost 7: skip
ghost 8: skip

You'll finish the mini game in about 52.6 seconds, a whole 7 seconds of time saved.

If you get just a single "non perfect hit", you'll will have to continue with only skipping 2 ghost instead of 3

Does streaming a 3DS system to a PC using Artic Base count as using an emulator?
