Encountered a video today that shows a way to jump infinitely without any upgrades. This could make the game very very fast, but unfortunately, it is frame perfect. I tested it in a TAS program. In order to do this glitch, you have to jump the frame after dashing. you can either hold R and alternate tapping the D-pad and B, or hold the D-pad and alternate tapping B and R. the time between jumping and dashing is more lenient, but you must always dash then jump the frame after.

This might end up a TAS only strat, but it's cool, and I've gotten at least 7 jumps in a row while testing this on hardware.

Alright so this was a lot more doable than I expected it to be. I'm only using it to enter the 2nd boss right now, along with some small skips that only need 2-4 jumps. It's easier to get two relics for boss 1, and I found a better way to get into the final boss arena without relics.

Yo this is epic! Do we think this is game breaking enough to make a glitched category separation?

I think that it would make sense to divide it if there were more runners. Here's the useful glitches I know so far:

infinite jumps - they could possibly be allowed in a nmg category for smaller skips? like the very start of the run where I double jump to grab the key behind spyro, or in bear forest to get up to certain platforms without needing glide or doing the tedious block moving.

that wall clip/upwarp thing - right now i've only done it at the final boss tower, but I am suspicious that it works elsewhere. There's an old darkspyro forum post that mentions something similar happening in the mole area.

infinite eggs - After completing the fairy's quest to put out fires, she will give you an egg every time you reload the room and talk to her. I'm assuming that's what happened to the 41 egg 100% run,but i wouldnt be surprised if another egg could be duplicated.

very cool! lets just leave any% as is for now and allow glitches, and if people either have an issue or would like a category separation in the future its pretty easy to make that addition/switch! GGs on the finds and runs, its cool to see the handheld spyro games get attention!
