    On levels where I repeatedly die and restart every few seconds my thumb does hurt sometimes. This happens when I'm trying to run the perfect route so I'm constantly restarting when I make the slightest mistake ;)

    Use RT to run, not X. Fixed.

    Yeah, I just realized you could use RT when I went into the "How To Play" section and checked out all the simplistic instructions. Although, it will probably be hard to break considering I'm used to the closeness of buttons for run and jump from the other hundreds of games that do it that way.

    When I saw the alternate to run was X my initial thought was 'how the fuck does that work?'  So many jumps you need to be holding down run....

    I can't actually bend my right thumb at the upper digit so that's a no go for me, but makes enough sense...still seems like it would be terribly awkward.

    I just hold RT continuously. I have to stop playing once in a while because my index finger gets cramped up :(

    I'm surprised people don't know how to press A and hold X at the same time. Dude, that's how you play mario bros. I guess RT makes a bit more sense to use, but I'm too used to the SNES controller to even consider that.

    I was holding X and then pressing A to jump for a large portion of the game.  I switch between RT and X now whenever my thumb cramps up.
