The greatest thing anyone could do to move the status quo of video games from some ridiculous spot it's stuck in right now is Miyazaki adding super effective and versatile difficulty modifiers and accessibility settings to his next Soulslike.

Celeste is about challenge and mastery, and we think that our assist mode expanded the amount of people who found joy in it, rather than seduced people into ruining it for themselves. I think a game speed slider would be great in Spelunky!
I agree - whilst some portion of players may choose to activate assist mode I think that portion would be relatively small (and you could track by logging data). I think it would only add joy for players who could never find joy in an unassisted Spelunky, not detract
