Accessing this version today requires a physical cart and a Switch that has never downloaded any ''Ultimate'' updates since the last time it was formatted. (Therefore, accessing it on a Switch that has downloaded any ''Ultimate'' update requires formatting the console, losing save data for any other games that have not been backed up through Nintendo Switch Online.) However, newer cartridges may have updates pre-installed—with some having versions up to version [[#2.0.1|2.0.1]]—which instead makes it possible to downgrade to that pre-installed version but not to 1.0.0 or any other version.
