Glitches & Tricks

Infinite Jump

This trick was very likely found independently by many people who played the game.

Super Fly

Found by Japanese TASer yosuke77 on Feb 15, 2015.

It was believed to be TAS only as a whole, but occasionally people stumbled upon it in RTA: example 1, example 2.

On May 10th, 2024. nearly a decade of knowing about Super Fly runner Finchie finally investigated the trick a bit more after stumbling on it while running No IJ. He realized it was possible to humanly do and in No IJ could be used to skip Specter's castle straight to the boss like in the normal Any%, saving a couple minutes.

Finchie's method used a difficult hoop bounce however. Then two days later on the 12th of May, SioN found an easier way to perform a super fly using the slinghsot, club or net.
