 === Versions List ===
 *'''US PRG0''': Saves 1 frame on most loading screens over US PRG1, for a total of about a third of a second over the course of an Any% run. Unfortunately, this version is very prone to random crashes, particularly in areas with a lot of sprites on screen such as stage 15.
-*'''US PRG1''': This is the default version that most runners use.
+*'''US PRG1''': As outlined above, loading times are slightly slower than PRG0 but it's not subject to random crashes.
-*'''1993 FC Re-Release''': This version is currently banned for every category outside of Easy Mode. Loading times are nearly the same as US PRG1, but it saves 6 frames after each orb grab. Additionally, hearts count down faster at the end of a stage (2 frames per heart vs. 8 frame per heart on US PRG1).
+*'''1993 FC Re-Release''': Loading times are nearly the same as US PRG1, but it saves 6 frames after each orb grab, for a total of half a second throughout an Any% run. Additionally, hearts count down faster at the end of a stage (2 frames per heart vs. 8 frame per heart on US PRG1). This is the fastest version available.
 *'''Original FDS Releases''': As they are on FDS, they present very long loading times.
 The 2019 Anniversary Collection contains versions US PRG0 and the 1993 FC Re-Release.
