- Turn on Replay Saving in the options - In 'Training' mode, configure the options for the start of your chosen level (or you can record a full run outside training mode) - Commence your run. DO NOT CONTINUE and DO NOT RESTART as this will prevent Replay saving. - At the end of the run, save it to Replays. - You can now watch the replay, fast forward to the part you want to practice AND TAKE OVER CONTROL at any point by pressing the 'BACK'/SELECT button. - If you take over control and do not continue/restart, you can save this new run to a separate slot. You now have 2 saved runs that you can practice from.
