Nintendo is the kind of developer that’s not afraid to drastically change gameplay elements in a series. Usually their teams are always implementing new ideas and concepts in each new game.

To enable the new mode, simply head on over to options, then “Game Setting”, and make sure that Game Speed is set to “High Speed”. Of course, you can always revert back to “Normal” later.
