I found this Downwarp while just playing casually. I was playing on the Switch VC, but found footage of someone performing it on an N64, posted below. I've been able to easily recreate it 3 times after I found it. I'm not a speedrunner so I don't know if this is new or not, or if it's even useful.
just seems like you swam into an invisible wall (which are really ceilings) and since swimming into a ceiling pushes you downward to be below the ceiling, it pushed warped you below the ship
Yeah that's what I think happened as well. I don't think it's a very precise trick, I was able to trigger it about 3 times in the span of about 6 tries, so it's not hard to do. Probably not too useful for runs but if you get it it could save a couple seconds of just swimming. Is there already a faster way to get to the bottom of the bay or no?
i don't think there's any faster method, but this one would only work so long as the ship is still sunken, which is only the case for the first mission, and i don't think that downwarp would save any time for that mission
hyper-necro post but this has probably been known since the game came out and doesnt really have any uses other than something funny that happens to new runners xD
