found glitches on approach to technodrome

Hi guys been experimenting with the ceiling glitches on last level and decided to experiment through other levels to see if there was anywhere that produced simular results. Not sure if you guys are aware but using the upward tunnel being quickest route to technodrome on 1st ladder was able to perform ceiling glitch (extremely easy compared to last level) i was then able to perform same ceiling glitch on floor below to reach bottom floor roughly saving between 5 to 10 seconds as estimate, however on one occasion dont know what combination i pressed but i managed to drop directly to bottom floor. On the 10 or so occasions i tried didnt die once or freeze the game etc so appears very safe to use and can only see it as a time save especially if you can regularly drop straight to bottom. Apologies if you guys are already aware of this but thought id share as havent seen it used in any speed runs iv watched.

Hey spobble, good to see you experimenting with this game. The ceiling glitch in the tunnels there is known and that is the only other one that has been found to save time in the run. From what I remember, it only saved 1-2 seconds over the normal play in the tunnel, so I didn't want to add it to the run because of the risk. But, I am not sure if you are doing anything differently or found and other way to save time. If you could post a video of this it would be cool to see what you are doing here.

Hi unable to post video at present as only using my phone and unable to save during run etc. Kinda get where your coming from on risk over reward though as majority of time all bar 2 I dropped to section below then had to perform again there to fall further. As I say kinda new to this glitch in last level so was just getting extra practice really and on like 3rd or 4th attempt scrolled continually down to bottom ironically leaving tiny walk to realise the technodrome werent even there (the irony). Will keep practicing it though as know its possible however on only other occasion I got the continued scrolling it scrolled directly under bottom floor leaving me in tiny gap not freezing the game as could still select characters but unable to kill yourself so ending game. From what I recall though when iv been doing it im aiming at left side. Im thinking that first block potentially werent there either unless it respawned as reclimbed ladder to try again etc. So if its as simple as removing that block and scroll all the way to bottom would still be usefull. Will let you guys know if I find a usefull strategy for it
