			=== Dying Inside Walls ===
			In some spots of the game or under certain circumstances, spike might end up inside a wall which will kill him.

			Many bigger doors are easy to die to. They don't have collision as they are opening so you can Boost Jump inside them and then die once they get their collision back.

			todo: add gif.

	==== Basic ====		==== Basic ====
	You can slightly run up ~~a slope (works on~~ most slopes) and ~~then~~ jump ~~off before~~ you ~~start sliding~~.		You can slightly run up most slopes in the game and the steeper the slope is, the more vertical speed spike will have to run up it.

			For the highest slope jump you will want to jump the very frame you touch the slope.

			An example slope in Snowy Mammoth gives you 40 upwards velocity when you hit it, Jumping at that moment will add the 46 velocity from the jump on top of that, making you jump twice as high.

			The longer you wait to jump, the more your upwards velocity has decreased and the less extra height you will get.

			This can be done out of water too ([[AE1/Primordial Ooze\|Primordial Ooze]]).

	==== Advanced ====		==== Advanced ====
	~~You~~ can run at a slope and then ~~let~~ the ~~left stick go neutral and then jump quickly after but~~ before ~~you hit~~ the slope, ~~this~~ will ~~make spike stop walking but he~~ will ~~slide just a tiny bit forwards~~.		If a slope is steep enough, you can perform a slope jump that you can double jump out of.

			Jumping right before hitting the steep slope will make spike ride up it in the standing state, from which he can perform a normal jump and then a double jump.

			The steepness of the slope decides how precise this timing is, for example the "right side" in [[AE1/Thick Jungle\|Thick Jungle]] is a 2 frame window to hit jump.

			This can be done out of water too ([[AE1/Primordial Ooze\|Primordial Ooze]]).

			==== Hoop Basic ====
			This one isn't technically even a jump.

			If you run at a steep slope with the hoop active and then hit the face button it's on right before touching the slope, spike will shoot up the slope in the standing state.

			That same Snowy Mammoth slope that gave you 40 velocity, will give you around 200 when you hoop at it.

	~~If during the little slide he touches a slope, it makes him go up~~ the slope ~~but in a "Standing" state so he can perform a normal~~ jump ~~and~~ a ~~double~~ jump ~~afterwards~~.		==== Hoop Advanced ====
			You can combine the basic hoop slope jump with a boost jump.

	~~This can be done out of water too ([[AE1/Primordial Ooze\|Primordial Ooze]]) or you can fly higher with the hoop ([[AE1/Frosty Retreat#Tricks\|Frosty Retreat]]) by cancelling it~~ before hitting the slope.		performing a boost jump right before hitting the slope will give you a small extra vertical velocity boost, making you go even higher.

You can use this as a back up for [[AE1/Dexter's Island#Dexter Skip\|Dexter Skip]] because you can jump out of the push up animation, meaning that you can start ij'ing from it.

			==== Technical Info ====
			During the slingshot pull animation, spike's state is 3. Canceling the slingshot by letting go of the right stick will make his state go straight to 19 (standing on ground.).

			From the state 19 he is able to perform all normal actions he could when normally on ground, example: tiptoe, walk, run, jump, crawl.

			The shortest time it will take for the state to go from 3 to 19 is 10 frames.

			When spikes downward velocity goes above 20, he will change states again, meaning that he cannot jump anymore.

			The longest you can be in state 19 from a normal jump is 14 frames, this is from jumping and pulling the slingshot on the same frame.

			== Miscellaneous, Useless, Detrimental ==
			The tricks, glitches and mechanics here are worthy enough to write up but likely will never have any practical use or they are straight up something that you do not want to experience.

			=== Slow Swing ===
			If you slowly move your right stick with the club out, you will do a slow swing.

			This means you can hit something multiple times in quick succession from just one swing.

			I believe this makes the hitbox stay out for longer which causes the extra damage.

			* Instantly breaks the breakable wall at the start of dexter.
			* Two swings will max out a cog wheel (Some longer ones need three while some only need one to be useful, like most gates.

			=== Fast First Person Turn ===
			Using both the d-pad and the left stick to look around in first person makes doubles the turning speed.

			=== Clown ===

			==== Lingering Hitbox ====
			After the first phase is done and he falls down, his hitbox is still invisible and active at the top of the cage for a moment.

			==== Clown Out Of Bounds ====
			In the second phase, if you guide the clown to hit the wall nearly parallel to it and then make him roll towards you parallel to the wall he might bonk into the inside of the wall.

			Once he bonks the inside of the wall he is out of the cage. He gets up and tries to roll again only to bonk immediately. he'll eventually leave bonk far enough to leave the room.

			You might be able to use an explosive on him when he's out but the only way to stop this is to Infinite Jump up out of the cage, leave and come back into the room. You'll have to redo the whole fight.

			==== Clown Clip ====
			Not only can the clown escape the cage, he can fling you out of it too.

			Don't know what the requirements for this is but getting between the wall and him rolling will clip you through the gate and out of it.

			=== Mech Crash ===
			Sometimes for an unknown reason, the mech fight in the middle of specter's factory can crash the game upon dying.

			<youtube>khDqzsNKKW0</youtube>
			<youtube>4i55ruMtdO0</youtube>

			=== First Person Ledge Grab ===
			If you either use the slingshot to go first person or go first person before sliding off a ledge you can grab onto a ledge while in first person.

			This allows you to turn left and right while still hanging off the ledge, turning too much so that spike's body enters the ledge will make spike climb up.

			With a sharp enough corner you can use this to clip inside it and die instantly.

			<youtube>D74wWt3LeUo</youtube>

			=== Fog Glitch ===
			Sometimes the game might have a hard time loading an area so it might use a very small fog distance, making everything either black or invisible around you.

			<youtube>sGU17v1QcrE</youtube>

			=== Crumbling Castle Hard Lock ===
			If you die at the perfectly wrong moment after defeating the knight boss, the game marks the boss as defeated so it won't respawn again but since you died you weren't pulled out of the level which is required for you to unlock the next one.

			The outcome is that you cannot fight the boss again to beat the level and the city park will never be unlocked. Only way out of this is to load your save file.

			<youtube>JXkrBIU4rRQ</youtube>

			=== Ledge Zip ===
			Hitting a ledge in a specific way will make spike teleport on top of it and to the end of the polygon on top.
