The break even point is somewhere around 11-12th attempt. All versions can warp to the beginning of Torchlight, as seen in 1.1 Old Summon) There is a 1.0 exclusive wrong warp to the midway barrel of Torchlight Trouble. 1.0 has a glitch that allows you to do an infinite amount of jumps by throwing up and jumping at the same time your partner returns to you.King Zing Sting moves slower in 1.0 making the fight slower overall.Bramble Scramble wrong warp is also done differently in 1.0.Castle Crush skip is done differently in 1.0.The main difference for speedrunning is that 1.0 cannot use most wrong warps, as they softlock the game.VC has faster transitions than SNES/Emu, meaning it has less black frames and is faster overall.You cannot do the D-boost after halfway in Windy Well on U 1.0 since the camera will not follow your Kong.In J, Haunted Hall has one less bee to jump over, which makes the level easier and ever so slightly faster.This trick in Hornet Hole isn't possible on U 1.0 since you can't move out of the bonus while falling.In J, Bramble Scramble has far less bees in the final bee gauntlet, making this section slightly faster over English versions.VC is always 1.2 for both U and J versions.Starting the game with a funky plane to save 72 frames is only possible on 1.0. 1.0 allows you to take a moving barrel out of bounds.There are no practical uses for this in an Any% run.

This makes the Fiery Furnace zip in 102% possible. J Version 1.1 for Any% is the fastest version currently due to skipping Bleak.This is a pastebin (pre-Bleak skip) but potentially useful for timings-> notable differences and timings between U and J.Kaos Karnage - Japanese cannot begin team throw hovering above Kaos after jumping on top of his head, resulting in a much slower fight.For reference, a 2-cycle using team throw hovering on English is approximately half a minute faster than an optimal fight on Japanese (assuming no 'team up jumps' are performed).Rocket Barrel Ride - The last set of Buzzes move differently between versions, allowing English to avoid needing a damage boost or the ledge on the right to get through.Tracker Barrel Trek - A set of Buzzes (after the N, before the G) are more easily avoided (with two barrel shots) on Japanese.

Tearaway Toboggan - The barrel that shoots you towards the flag post at the end shoots you farther on Japanese.
