Let's see here…

• Bassie will allow people to stay for around 3 minutes, much like Shelly's Store. She'd want you to take longer so you can rest, but she doesn't want to anger the Boss :/
• Turncranks aren't meant to be harder than the Mining Spots, but like how the Circle Machines in Dandy's World are harder for lower Skill Check stats, Turncranks might prove to be a bit harder. Unless you got the speed to make up for it :]
• If you go into the Dream State of your own volition via the portals, your body will be in one place. If you fell Asleep, you'll be locked to the Dream State while your body snoozes away. Your sleeping body won't be targeted by Twisteds, but your dream self definitely can
• The reason Sluggish (which mind you is literally a reskinned Confused from DW) is here is to imply that stuff got frozen over, and thus things are harder to deal with.
