Hey,

I've watched Cameron's tutorial (which is a different version but expect the same principles apply), and I've watched it on DepCow's world record like 40 times and in .25x speed, and for the life of me I cannot get this skip consistently.

The main issue I'm having is that I fall off the spike without executing the hyper jump: I actually don't know what I'm doing wrong. I hit the spike, spam the heck out of jump, but he just falls off.

Compared to a successful attempt, I'm really not seeing much of a difference:

Any tips for how to actually start the hyper jump? This happens like 8 out of 10 times.

Cheers, Rob

I'm just wondering what I might be missing regarding collecting the gem from Hang 'em High's level 7 entrance. Once I reach the end of the level, I can slide double jump over to the platform that moves you back to the boardwalk, but the camera doesn't pan over and I'm unable to collect the gem. Is there a specific action or trick that I'm missing to do this properly?

Hello :)

You'll probably notice I'm new around here, and I just wanted to gauge what the general feel about this trick is. You have to use it to get a good time, but it sorta takes away from the gameplay and feels more about mastering a button sequence when I play the game this way. Is there any sort of interest in having a category for speedruns without the use of NSJ?
