Useful Glitches
Animationless Sub Item Drop
Frame perfect trick to skip sub item animation.
Stair Misalignment
Stairs will bring you in a diagonal line to the next platform. As far as I know this was done well in the J version. In the U version you can offset the starting position and walk off the screen on some places.
- Grant/Trevor character switch can be used to misalign on stairs in 9-01, allowing him to skip the majority of 9-01.
- Sypha can misalign on stairs in 9-01 using ice on the fleemen, allowing her to skip the majority of 9-01.
- Sypha can misalign on stairs at the end of the climb in 9-03 by using ice on the fuzzies.
Wrong Warp(s)
- A wrong warp which misaligns Grant on the stairs in stage 4-01 (the marsh) allows the player to travel through a glitch world to stage A much faster than it would take to play all of those stages.
