Conveyor Belt Speed Boosts
North Carolina, USA

Hey guys. Now that my flash cart has finally arrived I was able to experiment a little with the conveyor belts in the game, so I decided to make a video of the different areas where I use the conveyor belt speed boost glitch for any% runs. Fair warning: It's long and boring. I do this glitch in the final area of Area 1 and at 2 different spots in Area 4.

Area 1 - Final Building - 01:06 (~ 0.5 sec Time Save) Area 4 - Scroll Weapon Jump - 04:29 (~ 0.5 sec Time Save) Area 4 - Next Level After Scroll Weapons - 09:05 (~ 0.8 sec Time Save)

Wow impressive. Thank you so much Red. I saw all your detailed video. I think this should be later in the guides section.

Well if somebody could master this, with all the other stuff like you, Skunky, Whitman or another turtle player I think somebody could try the WR of 17:16 someday for any%. This is not allowed in glitchless however.

Ey Red in Area 4 Level 10 there is a mega ultra conveyor, like 7 big ones in a road, could you go sometime to explore it, to see if you get an extra speed?

Also do you know the wheels of the Technodrome Guardian is actually a conveyor?

There is small 3 conveyors in the early rooms of Area 4, the one you always have 3 beetles or 3 ballon's, can you get a speed boost there in the medium conveyor?

Thanks a lot Red. So now you have your flashcart hope you will explore the game some time to see if you find something new like your OK in the hidden secret room of the technodrome. By the way what happens if you beat the game doing that long route, does something could change?

Thanks a lot Red and hope you see you soon with more Turtle investigation. And good luck to go now for the 2nd place maybe, you are so near, hope you the best. As also I hope the best to all Turtle players of this leaderboards too.

Thanks nesmaster. I'm not sure which one you're talking about with Area 4 Level 10. If it's one of the rooms that are outside the normal speedrun path then I don't know much about it. But I will say that what prevents me from using the boost in other places is usually because of enemy spawns or the ceiling is too low and you will bonk your head (Like the room that you mentioned with the 3 belts and 3 beetles).

As far as going in the glitched areas in the Technodrome, the flash cart freezes when trying to go there, so it won't be much help for that.

To get to Area 4 level 10. You need to go in the big overworld, is in the left corner. It will only work to test more of your conveyor speed boost, because it has like 7 big conveyors, all together.

Yeah I know that flashcarts can go to secret hidden underground places. I wlll try someday to do the OK as you to see if I can investigate more what happens if you beat the game with longer route like that.

Ok so enemys or ceilling to lows prevent that adventage, I see. Thanks.

Well good luch with your new PB's. And we will wait for another good video when you discover something, thanks for share.

So after doing the conveyor belt glitch in the level with the scroll weapons a few more times, it is possible to attack with the bo staff right before you get the scroll weapon and your bo staff will destroy the enemies in front of you, including the boomerang guy. What this does is it allows you to save a scroll to use later.

I found a way to outrun all the beetles in stage one using the conveyor belt trick. It's extremely tight but it is possible.

How comfortable/consistent are you with it? Is it similar to the TAS? Are you planning on using it? I tried the TAS method a few times, but I never got comfortable enough with it. I expect to see it in your next run :)

I don't know if it's the TAS method or not. Def not consistent with it. It's super tight. I will be going for it in future runs since it's in level one.

The TAS does another good and last conveyor boost:

Is in Area 4: Level 17.

You kill the alarm laser, then you go down, and then right, then you jump and kill the beetles and alarms. And in that part, in that conveyor, the TAS does the last coveyor boost that I saw. Maybe somebody could try it. Thanks.

I'm watching the TAS by adelikat and I don't notice a boost. It's the room above where the spiked wall closes in correct? Now it might be possible but I haven't really played with it yet.

I'm actually more interested in the level before this where you go under the belts to get the full pizza. Is it worth going above the belts and ignoring the pizza. I'm beginning to think it might be.

Here's an update video with some improved strats on some of the conveyor belt boosts as well as a new route in the airport level. Not the best video but I think it gets the point across slowly but surely.

Very nice work man! Pretty risky to go through with less health, I like it!

Mexico

Thanks for the video.

Nice work. Hope you can master this and use it, very good new strat. I like it too.

North Carolina, USA

Thanks guys! Appreciate it!

Just when you thought it was over haha. I've been practicing your top route, good stuff man. I'll have to try it in an actual run to see where the weapon drop usually lands. It's scary using one scroll, but two is definitely not bad at all. Thanks again.

Mexico

Thanks for the new strats in the lava section, very impressive.

Thanks again.
