Something like the shortcuts for Spelunky, so that we can practice certain areas at our leisure. People who use shortcuts would gain some predetermined levels and equipment, and be taken to the area in question. It could also help for people trying to get the S-rank achievements for the areas or the complete all challenges in the area achievements, they can instantly go there at the expense of the downsides.
The downside is that people who use the shortcuts a) wouldn't be eligible to have their high scores saved and b) wouldn't have the opportunity to accrue gold and equipment in the lower levels.
Not sure whether the score from a shortcut run would count towards the town progress total.
Shortcuts would probably need some sort of quest to unlock, proving that the player has reached and shown some proficiency in, but not necessarily mastered the area. Maybe get an A-rank average for a floor, or beat a boss with an A rank? Or maybe beat all boss variants for that area?
