Thank you so much. 
Sorry about the stage music getting annoying.. hehe.. I need to put volume controls specific to the parts of the game, for sure. I liked that song because some of the bell sounds reminded me of winter, for some reason, and the overall tone seemed pretty light. In terms of finishing, definitely sprinting/dashing a lot can improve the jump distance by quite a bit. There are a few other tricks that players have found, as well ... ; )
