Problems
Water Glitch
During gameplay the water frequently flashes white. Enabling Settings > Advanced > Enable Write-Back Cache (slow) seems to resolve this. Refer issue 10707.
World B Issues
Once you get to World B, the bowl goes absolutely crazy. Slightly over- or underclocking the CPU avoids the issue.
