!Timing Your Runs

Please pay attention to the rules in timing your runs. They are the same in every category. First frame of black upon entry to the first room and first frame of black upon entry to the gem turn-in room after defeating the boss.

The cause of these changes are you can still die after your final hit to the boss.

This goes over some tricks used (and not used) in the run.

The UWC strat in levels 24 and 27 are both actually slower, so don't bother doing them.

Timing 

The timing of the run is from entering first level to when the boss starts fading away after defeating him

Movement Options 

The fastest horizontal movement is rolling, which is performed by holding Down and a direction. 

The fastest upward movement is wall jumping, which is performed by holding Up and in the direction of the wall 

The fastest downward movement is fast-falling, which is performed by holding Down while falling. 

Glitches 

The following glitches were discovered by me through extensive trial and error. 

Corner Clip: 

The Corner Clip (CC) glitch is a glitch were a triangular shaped corner piece can be used to clip through two blocks diagonal from eachother. Because the corner piece does not have a collider, you may fit into the corner and with the right input, clip through the wall. When you have performed the corner clip glitch, you'll see the inside consists of two blocks, grey blocks and black blocks. These gray blocks are fine to walk along, however the black blocks will kill you if you touch them. Because of this, you must walk around the gray area. This is useful for skipping time-consuming enemies and objects, such as lasers and missile-shooters. 

A variation of this glitch is Jetpack Corner Clip (JCC) which involves using a jetpack to perform CC. 

Laser Clip: 

To perform a laser clip, you must double jump into a laser (has to be second jump) at the top part which clips you through the laser, therefore saving time as you do not have to press the button, or wait for the laser to deactivate.

Glitches n Stuff

Using the Exit Button in a run normally is not a glitch, but exploiting it is.
Canceling the LSD/Acid/Trip/Seizure effect in its one room is NOT considered a glitch.
Skipping the orange boss's missile-fire is allowed in glitchless categories because it is actually sometimes unavoidable.
