Saves around 3 minutes of the speedrun in the level "Fine Tooning". Fairly easy to pull off when the setup is mastered.

Glitch: 255 lives

By pausing and exiting a level after gex's lives fall to 0 and before the game over screen appears will allow gex to survive with 0 lives. After the next death gex's lives will loop around to 255.  (note: be careful not to die in the overworld when you are on 0 lives). 
This can save a run that was otherwise going to get game over.

Intro

In this game you need to collect 34 red remotes, 16 silvers and 4 golds to enter Channel Z to beat the game.
Red remotes are collected by beating missions in each level.
There are generally 2 silver remotes in each level. One is hidden somewhere in the level and the other is obtained by collecting 120 items. 
Silver remotes allow access to the 4 bonus levels. Each bonus level beaten nets you a golden remote (so you get 4 in total).
With your golden remotes you can finish collecting all 34 red remotes.
After this, you're free to go and beat Rez.

Movement

Controls:
        D-Pad = Walk/Run/Climb
        Up on D-Pad = Enter door
	Down = Duck
        A button = Tail whip
        B button = Jump
        Start = Pause
        Select = Check status/ Eat flies/ Run on the spot (while in running state)
        Hold B button after jump = Tail bounce
	Hold B + Down while running = Karate Kick

You can buffer all inputs in this game, so tail bouncing is very easy (just hold B before hitting the ground, it's pretty lenient). You can also buffer holding up to enter doors so you can get frame perfect entrances.

However, movement can be tricky in this game.

There is no single button devoted to running, Gex will run automatically after a certain amount of time walking (about a second). A lot of movement in this game is around preserving your running state, as otherwise Gex will need to gather speed through walking again which loses time. To start running on a small area (like a platform where you wont have enough room to start running by walking straight), the best way is to hold right and tap left (you should oscillate left and right). 

Ways to lose your running state: 
* Stopping
* Running off a low ledge (jumping off is fine)
* Falling from a significant height (Gex will go flat like a pancake)
* Going through a door (unavoidable)
* Getting hit by an enemy
* Using your tail whip mid air (however if you use it while airborne but close to the ground you'll be fine)
* Using a karate kick

Maintaining your running state while staying still (3 methods):
* Holding select while running and then stopping (you should run on the spot and can resume running at any time)
* Performing consecutive tail bounces
* Quickly oscillate left and right (you'll move a little bit side to side)

Maintaining running state while going off a platform:
* Jumping off a ledge of low height
* Running off a ledge of medium height

The most recently pressed D-pad direction has priority, so you can hold your direction and press or tap the opposite direction to make fine adjustments to your movement (especially useful midair)

Sometimes you may notice that you can't jump. This can be quite annoying. It happens after falling off a small ledge sometimes. When you notice that this has happened and it's not letting you jump, performing a tail whip will allow you to jump again.

Unfortunately karate kicks are basically useless but you can use them while entering a door for swag purposes.
