Parlor keeps music and sound effects near their normal pitch while fast forward is active.

Things to know

  • Battery saves keep writing on their 30-second schedule during fast forward.
  • A link cable session runs both games at the slower partner's pace; fast forward is best left off while linked.
  • Slower devices may not sustain 8× on Nintendo DS games; drop to 4×.
