Hasty Controls

Two options are accessible on the world map that change how the egg button works. Patient is the default, and makes it so that tapping A once begins the egg-firing animation, and tapping it again fires the egg. Hasty, on the other hand, sets it so that pushing A down begins the egg-firing animation, and releasing A fires the egg. Most speedrunners use Hasty, which allows you to more easily fire off quick egg throws by just tapping the button once, as opposed to twice.
