Here is a list of good to know mechanics in the game. Some the game won't tell you about.

* You can hit Start to immediately close a mailbox.
* Hitting R1 or L1 in the level select will move one era over.
* Both R3 and the button your gadget is on can active the alternate effect (like changing pellets or summoning the car).
* Select opens the pause menu straight into the gadget screen.
* You can use swingable gadgets (net/club) to quickly turn yourself around in place or midair! very useful for changing your angle midair to grab onto a ledge.
* The Net can interact with objects through walls. Example: The specter coin in the big open room in TV Tower can be gotten without breaking the box. same for the inside dexter coin beneath the slide.
* The Magic Punch and the net shot from the Water Net can collect energy chips (very important in time trial ILs).
* Spinning the right stick while already running with hoop speed, will extend the duration of the hoop slightly.

== Movement Speeds ==
Note that you run slightly faster when going at a small angle rather than straight.

The difference is so minimal you do not need to worry about it unless you're doing a TAS. Hornlitz estimated on discord that it saves at max 4 frames when walking over to [[AE1/tricks#Ill Catch|Ill Catch]].
