V1.4.1.0
Changes
- Title screen and Postcard screen show "Press [Button]" instead of just "[Button]", as on Keyboard the confirm button was [C] which some players mistook for a copyright symbol instead of a button prompt.
- Added subtitles to Ch3 "Ring for service" note for some languages which don't have a custom graphic for it.
- Updated Simplified Chinese and Korean, and added Traditional Chinese
V1.4.0.0
New Options:
- Added an additional 'Screenshake' setting: 50%, which is now the default
- Added the 'Grab Mode' option, which allows you to use the grab button as a toggle rather than holding it
Control Rebinding:
- Overhauled the control rebinding system, to allow for much more granular and complete rebinding, including menu inputs and more
- Added a bind for Advanced: Crouch Dash
- After a 'Crouch Dash' bind is set, a 'Crouch Dash Mode' option will appear. 'Press' mode crouch dashes when the button is pressed. 'Hold' mode crouch dashes when the button is held and a regular dash button is pressed
- Added binds for Advanced: Directionals for movement- or dashing-only
- The option to reset all controls to defaults must now be held to confirm
- Removed the hard-coded Quick Restart shortcut on gamepads (L + R + Start), because it can now conflict with custom rebinds. You can bind a dedicated Quick Restart button to use this feature

Pause Buffering:
- Added 0.1s of input buffering on the Pause input
- Fixed game timer freezing during unpause (this adds 0.15s IGT to each unpause compared to before)

- Fixed MoveBlocks giving inconsistent momentum when moving vertically and being steered horizontally
- Added a grace period of 0.01s for gaining horizontal boosts off of explosions by holding the direction you will be sent in at the moment of impact. Examples of explosions are bumpers, puffer fish, and respawning seekers. 0.01s is a single frame at 100% game speed, but because explosion impacts freeze the game for 0.1s, this is effectively a 0.1s grace period.

change now while the game is still early in its speedrun life.
