This is the most efficient spot and most braindead Spot (only works with the Crystal Breaker Gadget!).
The moment the Energy shows as "pending" on your bar you can pause and restart the level without losing anything. You can also kill the enemies in the first room, but in my opinion it's not as efficient as just restarting

Magic guide

First, the "dodge+kick" makes you faster when you have a target, the earliest possible, the kick will get a range bonus,the punch has less range which is slower.

-the red can teleport to ennemies, attracted by their vital energy i suppose. The sommersault+kick is strong and short (release the trigger or you're going to do an underpowered-costly tornado),the long punch is shorter if you're strong enough.EDIT:in his 9-2 run,Drint did one and attacked earlier with a dodgepunch without explanation.Certainly that he held the dodge stick which cancels the tp apparently.The fastest attack of all,you have to tp from the ground during a dodgespam.Two of it may be better than the sommersault or the green light shot against two fragile targets and you have to wonder why he just mashed the punch instead.

Some shortcuts exist,it may look smart but you just need to check the range by mashing triangle,in the last level of the gobelins town,ignore the yellow platform,reach the lever from the bloc,levitate before shrink, then,you can teleport later.


-green:the light shot plays at your place many time and while you run, the strong one destroys everything around like the blue explosion différentely.


-brown:devastating in a few level, usually when Knack is giant.

Melee guide

The punch is simple and effective

The kick is better but weaker,can be defensive without chain,the secret is to knockout small target.

So the punch/kick duality is largely defined by the size of Knack.

The air kick is the best approach move,perfect if it KO in one attack.

The bodyslam is highly unsatisfysing,many players and reviewers made the mistake of using it instead of the kick.

The others are explained by the game,a far paralysis can be followed by a grab,the ennemy with a circular saw can be reached by a long punch.

The multi punch is your strongest attack but the startup is slow.

The sommersault+kick is the main combo,strong,fast,even on two targets.

NG+ Guide

First of all how to do the two most important glitches:

Super Jump: (You need Energy) Hold L2 and press "Square", then at the right moment press "Triangle" and "Circle" (Note: You can change Size during the Jump)

Infinite Dashing: (You need Energy, but it won't consume it) Hold L2, hold the right control stick into the  direction you want to dash and spam "Circle".

Now to the skips:

There are a lot of small time saves in areas where you have to get somewhere that is just slightly higher than Knacks normal jump height. In nearly all of those cases it is possible to use the Super Jump to get on top.

If there is anything important to note about a skip it will be written here:

2-4 (3): After this skip you will have to kill yourself at some point before the final part of the level, otherwise the level won't finish. You might be able to kys when fighting the enemies at the end (I didn't try that yet).

3-2: Since you have to downsize during the jump it can be quite tricky.

4-3 (1): As far as I'm aware you can't just Super Jump over those fences.

5-1 (1-3): It is possible to chain all 3 of them together.

5-2 (1): The camera doesn't always follow you so it can be impossible to do that skip.

5-2 (2): Rng in my opinion.

5-3: Keep jumping on that first ledge or you will fall off

5-4 (2-3): I think you have to do those skips in that order, but not sure.

6-2 (1): Not sure if there is a precise way of doing that skip, but i don't get it every time.

6-2 (2): You will need 1 extra relic container (there is one if you take the intended path). Also to make the following fight easier you want to kys on the enemies to reset their position, otherwise they might not be reachable for you.

6-3: If you fall into the arena without triggering the cutscene you will softlock the game.

7-4 (1): There is a gap you can fall down into so be careful.

7-4 (3): If you go a bit more to the right first it will change the camera and make the skip safer.

8-1 (4): It is faster to just get over the gap by double jumping -> gliding -> dash.

10-1: Possible to do on all of those robots in 10-1.

NG+ speedrun in 7-4

JAS:jump and shrink
You may need to levitate,that's variable.(a gain of speed in open space)
GE:grow up early and get out of a small section

After the first shrink,teleport to the group,pause the game and switch to blue,sommersault+explosion(the air version is bigger),you'll be able to blow up everyone before the elevator,you can JAS far from the corpse hand.

Teleport,jump and kick before jumping to the titan chase.You can't shortcut the first virage,unlike in the second one.JAS on the pipes,GE,at the end:jump and grow up before a second one.Dodge and fall to run faster.JAS into the conduit.Hide only once behind the third collumn.
T to the ennemies,the S+K can attack the duo.
GE only to run faster but pay attention to one wall that can stop you.

7-1:a major shortcut with a dodge:after the zipline,you can reach the platform before it dissapear,then,mash the jump button,really mash it.

Knack is faster than the tank,even without ID.
The green form destroy almost everyone outside the fourth part.

The monastery(full game run)

In the previous level:the infinite spam of light shot is the best opurtunity to discover spawn kill with it.
Spam it at the beginning instead of the heavy one that circle more easily.
Outside,you can hit an insect and the two gards faraway.Shrink through the boulders.

How to hit the two robots on the mountain:jump only once before shooting.

A major shortcut with a teleport...between many...to the duo where there are stones to toss.
