Sorry if this isn't the right place to post this, but I think I found a potentially useful glitch or trick (I'm not certain whether it's an intented mechanic or not). I was in SL902 when I found banandium gem 44 Taking in the Stormy Scenery. I wasn't sure what the proper way to get up was (in hindsight, I assume it was to use jump shot via the elephant bananza), so I just tried screwing around and used the nearby elephant boulder to get up on the middle platform. I still needed to get one tier higher, but there was nothing else for me to jump off of. I noticed that even though you slide down the metal walls, you don't slide while punching when you grab the wall. As an experiment, I jumped at the wall, rolling at the peak of the jump and mashing the punch button, which shockingly resulted in DK doing a sort of side roll up over the ledge. I was able to fairly consistently replicate it (I'm no speedrunner or glitch hunter, so if I can get it half of the time, I'm sure it's probably not too tricky), so I figured it might be useful for a potential 100% speedrun.
