I'll try to make this all as short as possible. First of all constantly single jumping is the fastest version of movement in this game. Backdashing means lining up to a wall (with your back facing the wall), jumping and dashing towards it. If you go out of bounds the game will kill you after a certain time (it will start counting from the last camera move onwards and reset when the camera moves again). If you skip cutscenes you also skip save points so be careful. The game won't save mid level, so if you quit out and reload you will start from the beginning of the level. The Guide might not show the fastest routes (so if you want to make sure check out the IL section, but remember, some skips might be too hard/risky for full game runs)

Now to the specific skips: quick note (R#) describes the recomended amount of Relics for the skip (meaning sometimes it can be done with less relics, but is not as consistent) Example: (R2) means you should have at least 2 containers worth of Relics (Relics you get without destroying containers yourself aren't counted) "Level Only" Refers to the skip either being risky or only worth if u get everything first try (use at your own risk).

1-1 (1): R2: 1-1 (2): R0: Skips a time gated tutorial 2-2 (1): R0 2-2 (2): R0 - Your double jump should be straight to the front as a invisible wall blocks the right side 2-2 (3): R0 2-3 (1): R0 - You need to double jump to get on top of the stone 2-4 (1): R0 3-2 (1): R0 - Try to jump on the right edges 3-4 (1): R0 - Position the tank on the right side of the wall, then destroy it and jump on the edge of the tank (facing the middle of the tank). Double jump, pick the tank up and double jump/dash/attack to the position in the video and immediately jump off of it on top of the gate. You have to do the second part as well, because the encounter on the other side that would open the gate doesn't spawn. 3-4 (2): R0 - You have a 50% chance to get this skip. Do the same as the skip beforehand with the tank on top of the skip and then climb up on the right (note: normally the camera changes a lot quicker so you actually see where you are going). If the tank does his drilling attack first destroy it and go through the gate. You should be facing a structure with a tinier structure on the left. Do two backwards jumps on top of it and jump on a higher point right next to it and continue upwards (you can also wait if the tank drills first, since the backup also takes some extra time) 4-3 (1): R0 - Important to note when you line up to transform back into normal Knack you need to stand on the edge facing the right (or else the laser will destroy you). Now double jump/dash/attack towards the right enemie, as Knack gains more distance attacking an enemie. 4-4 (1): R2 - Not much to say just follow everything in the clip and head straight up the path 5-2 (1): R0 - I wouldn't recommend going for this skip unless you find a safe setup as you can die doing it. First you have to destroy a robot right at the first jump that blocks your view and a good spot to set up the jump. After you jump on the edge of the second structure you have to double jump/dash on top of it (or else you won't make it). Now walk off of it and immediately double jump/dash/attack to the right (sometimes the invisible wall will push you back in) 5-4 (1): R0 - Keep track of the enemie as he can attack you while you try to do the skip 6-1 (1): R1 6-1 (2): R2 6-1 (3): R2 - Just backdash 4 times up the wall (the push comes automatically) 6-2 (1): R0 6-2 (2): R0 - Also doable without wood but much harder 7-4 (1): R0 - You can backjump from the tank but you have to be fast (he always fires a missle first). When you are on the screen with the sawblade robot and mines just jump to the top right until the camera changes (you can also go inbounds again at any point in the skip to be safer as you can die on the last screen of the skip) 7-4 (2): R0 - You actually want to take damage at the beginning of the skip (when you are on the railing), because it perfectly sets you up for the jump 8-3 (1): R0 - Make sure you prefectly stand on the rock (otherwise you won't make the jump) 8-4 (1): R4 - Follow the route, until you are on top of the part where you see the platform you want to jump down now. Walk slowly until you see Knack hitting a wall and jump slightly to the right around the wall: Either you will hit and edge you can jump off again or you will be pushed in by an invisible wall. 9-2 (1): R0 - Make sure to keep at least 1 Energy bar as the two axe enemies can easily kill you (also the magnet oneshots you). You have to kill yourself on the collector, otherwise you won't be able to get any metal. 9-3 (1): R0 10-1 (1): R0 - Try to do the backdash on the left side. 10-2 (1): R0 11-1 (1): R0 - You can fall off and die so be careful. 11-2 (1): R0 11-2 (1): R0 - Quite precise, but if you die there are sunstones right next to it, so you can farm Energy if you need it. 12-2 (1): R2 - Don't jump too far to the right or the game will kill you. 12-2 (2): R2 - Still haven't found a decent setup for it (soon tm). I always try jumping to the left after landing on it and then jumping front left (I wouldn't recommend anyone to go for it in a run). 12-3 (1): R0 - Only really worth it if you get it first try or want to save Energy 12-3 (2): R2 12-3 (3): R2 - Remember to double jump/dash/attack after landing on the second edge. Jump top-left after going off screen (you can also die doing this skip). Only really worth doing it first try or to save Energy. 13-1 (1): R0 13-1 (2): R0 13-1 (3): R0 13-1 (4): R0 13-2 (1): R0 13-3 (1): R0 - Don't kill the enemies until you are up on top as you need them to get enough height/distance from attacking near the right one. 13-3 (2): R0 13-3 (3): R0 13-3 (4): R0 13-4 (1): R0 - This setup gives me 60-70% success rate. Line up where I'm standing walk a bit and then dash/jump/dash straight (If he pushes you out on the back the skip sometimes won't work and you have to do it again from the start). If you get stuck between the structure and his barrier try to get up on the right and jump to the back to your death and you should spawn at the top. This skip pretty much skips all of 13-4.

2-1 (1): R1 - You have to jump of the last invisible wall to get oob (Level Only) 2-2 (1): R0 - (Level Only) 2-3 (1): R0 - When jumping to the first gate, jump to the front and dash attack to the back like in the clip 2-4 (1): R0 - (Level Only?) 2-4 (2): R0 - (Level Only) 3-4 (1): R0 - Jump a bit to the left of the middle to get a better chance of getting up. After that just jump straight forward (there is a gap you'll have to jump over to not get pushed back in) 3-4 (2): R0 4-4 (1): R0 - Don't instantly backdash after the double jump (can be a bit tricky). When you get on the ledge make sure to walk a bit forward before jumping again to not hit the top (when on top be careful to not get pushed back in like i nearly did). You can do the same on the left side but since the enemies spawn there it's not a safe setup. 5-1 (1): R0 - You need the relics a bit further along the way (auto pickup) (Level Only) 5-2 (1): R0 - Position yourself a bit to the left, jump straight and then slightly dash attack to the right (You can also stay oob longer and skip the cutscene, but there's a risk of dying) 5-3 (1): R0 - Get all the relics in the room and when you're on the last ledge make sure to walk off a bit before jumping 5-3 (2): R0 - Get everything in the room before (can be done without 5-3 (1)) 5-3 (3): R0 - The clip is a bit missleading since something on the wall didn't spawn which makes the skip seem easier (this skip can softlock you. There is a way to kys but you will go back to 5-3 (1) so i wouldn't go for it) 5-4 (1): R? - I take all relics in the big room, but never checked how many you need exactly 5-4 (2): R? - You can just double jump dash attack over it (needs 5-4 (1)) 5-4 (3): R? - When you are up double jump once to the left and then double jump dash attack to the left as well (needs 5-4 (2) 6-2 (1): R0 6-2 (2): R0 - Clearer on where to back dash than the first video 7-2 (1): R3 - (Level Only) 7-2 (2): R2 - (Level Only) 7-3 (1): R0 7-4 (1): R0 - Once up just move to the right (Level Only) 8-1 (1): R0 - Very precise movement to not die / get pushed in bounce (Level Only) 8-3 (1): R0 8-3 (2): R0 8-4 (1): R0 9-2 (1): R0 9-2 (2): R1 - (Level Only) 9-2 (3): R0 10-1 (1): R0 - Make sure to trigger a camera change once you are oob 10-1 (2): R0 - You'll still need to trigger the cutscene 10-1 (3): R0 12-1 (1): R3 - (Level Only) 12-2 (1): R3 - Do exactly what I do and the camera won't change, but it also means the longer version is impossible (due to the game killing you earlier) 12-2 (2): R4 - (Level Only?) 12-2 (3): R3 13-2 (1): R0 - You have to jump extremly late 13-3 (1): R0 13-3 (2): R0 - (Level Only?)

3-4 (1): R0 4-1 (1): R0 4-3 (1): R0 - Try not to dash to go to the left, otherwise enemies won't spawn 4-3 (2): R0 4-3 (3): R0 - Skips the cutscene 5-2 (1): R2 - I like to use this route without the other 5-2 skip before it, because I want the relics from the vehicle you skip. I also destroy the vehicle in the arena just before this skip to make it fairly easy 5-2 (2): R0 - Get on top of the platform on the left and then walk into the rock in the direction of the platform, until it feels like you are rob. Then just jump/dash/attack to the right and you should get it every time. With this skip you can jump over every gate, until the elevator cutscene. 5-3 (1): R? - Use energy to destroy the 3 rings in the room (make sure to take all relics from the 3 lanes as well) 5-4 (1): R1 - The setup in the video is a bit outdated (check IL run for gate skip (Any% / NG+ DISCLAIMER: I did the skip 3 times and the setup was different for each one, so I don't know how it works)) 6-2 (1): R? - Easier to the left, but a bit slower 6-2 (2): R? - Make sure to jump/dash/attack to the left after the second back dash 7-1 (1): R1 - As far as we know it"s pure rag to get over the wall (just wiggle your left stick around and pray) 7-4 (1): R0 7-4 (2): R0 - Make sure you get over the invisible wall on the left. When the camera changes just move up-right 9-3 (1): R1 9-3 (2): R1 13-1 (1): R0 - Faster way found (check IL run) 13-3 (1): R0 - Faster version of the old skip. After getting on top walk a little up and then jump/dash/attack up
