Hello I've decided to start running Sonic Boom and put some runs on the all levels leaderboard for patch 1.10. I watched some any% runs and there seems to be a weird spindash/stomp attack glitch that can skip the stone pillar section but I can't figure out how to do it.

Sorry for the very late response, its just that no one has actively ran this game in 6 years besides signakong and me.

I assume the trick you are referring to is pause stomping? To perform a pause stomp, you need to simply stomp on an enemy or object and pause the game as you bouce upwards, then unpause. The timing for this is fairly strict and definitely takes a lot of muscle memory to learn and execute consistently. Depending on when you paused the game, you can be shot up with extreme altitude or have a short bounce upwards. You can pull this trick off as any character with different levels of altitude, I haven't done any extreme testing or anything however I feel as though Amy is the most consistent character to pause stomp with, though she generally gives me lower altitudes. Hope this helps!
