Hey guys. I am speedrunning KDL on Extra mode and I am having imput problems. Sometimes Kirby won't spit out his star. Because of that I am already pressing the buttons several times instead of one time, already expecting some input cancelations. I already cleaned the pads on my PS3 controller and yes, it got worn out over the years and I couldn't witness that problem on other games, at least not that frequently.

Is canceling the inputs because of too much sprites on the screen a known issue? Thanks!
