I'm unsure of why this is happening. It most likely is your PC, as I noticed that certain things don't work/are different on certain settings. (Ex. Strangely Familiar Jungle skip is impossible on 144hz and VERY sharp turns on Mac Race with 144hz). The game plays completely different on 144hz vs 60hz, so maybe certain components also contribute to issues with the game.

100% new release is a really janky category, as it's literally the same thing as old release but with an additional level, but we didn't wanna remove the times on the old release. Before the OOB was discovered I got both records with the same run and let other moderators decide if that was ok, which you can see in my comment in my PB description

I was able to make some crazy sharp turns during mac race when on 165hz, but it also made some of the tricks harder/impossible to do.

60hz solved it! Thank you for helping me. Sorry for spamming the thread!

I got a 165hz monitor recently. Maybe if I set it back to 60hz for just this game it will solve the issue. Very clueless on PC specs affecting gameplay on non-rhythm games :/

I turned V-sync on but it still blocks me from getting up any steep hill :(

Alright! I messaged Siactro and he told me to try the same thing. PC hates me at the moment so I am reinstalling drivers to try to fix that. lol

I also seem to just slide down off the steeper parts immediately when when matching what old videos used to hit.

So I don't know what's going on with me, but I cannot figure out how to do Strangely Familiar Forest skip on Steam version. I have been grinding the game again to try and improve my time, but both routes for it aren't working for me. I reset my PC and had to redownload the game. The "wiggling" isn't getting me up and it's like I hit a wall. This is the easiest trick in the entire game so maybe I'm just tired, but what is going on?

Strangely Familiar Jungle skip works and so do do both boss fight skips. I don't understand why I haven't been able to get that Birdy Beach skip.

Here's a video of me trying to get the skip with no success. You can see I even run right against the barrier that usually lets you through.

There are also some other interesting parts about the Switch version I found after some exploration.

1. Birdy Beach skip does not seem to work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I even experimented with my Switch-Only strat and have been unsuccessful. (More on this for #2)
2. With the pro controller and maybe the Joycons you can press the D-Pad to do single frame movements, which may be able to be used to find very technical tricks. I've been experimenting and haven't found anything so far (Looking at you, Tulshar's Forest!!)

Also if enough people show interest in a Switch leaderboards that could be done, but at the moment the game has not had much interest shown in it besides a few people who have submitted PC version runs in the past few months. This is subject to change if there is interest shown in it though. Maybe we could see a boost in the speedrunning community for this game due to the game just being released on Switch. :)

I may be over-reacting, but I was very excited when he said "I need to check again though," because that gives me hope that maybe he could help by showing me the level border boundaries and where they meet so we could potentially find even more areas to clip through in levels.

Now that my summer classes will be ending tomorrow, I have decided to start grinding the time down again, and have been talking to SIACTRO on twitter a bit to find some information on how he coded some parts of the game - Especially Mac Race, cause I believe that could have some massive discoveries.

While talking to him about the levels we have been pulling apart, I mentioned that I was trying to find ways to drive a shorter course and hit the lap checkpoints by driving in a smaller circle (Similarly to the way some levels are ran in Mario Kart Wii) and I got some information that could be helpful.

Here's the tweet he sent me: "I think I use around four checkpoints at the obvious spots. I need to check again though. Technically it would be possible to drive in smaller circles, if only the cart wasn't such a tank..."

This makes me believe it could be possible depending on how the checkpoint barriers work, but I have not put much testing into it besides just cutting corners - I will do more with this next week.

This may not result in any sort of finding, or could not save time even if it works, but I wanted to keep you guys into the loop of what I've been trying to do with the game when it comes to glitch hunting.

I tried a little bit more awhile back but couldn’t find anything. It might not be possible.

I spent roughly two hours trying every angle and every tree branch and anything sticking out in Tulsahrs and I'm not sure if there is an out of bounds. I'll try again in a bit.

I went around with the infinite wings in Tubular and couldn't find anything except for the secret level.

I was just doing strats I was comfortable with in my runs. I started implementing new ones recently, but haven't recorded anything.

In Watery Factory the fish food for the bounce pad is pretty passive cause you have to go down in that area for two of the bolts anyways. I wanna experiment with it some more to see if it could save some time with a reroute. I'll be trying that out along with glitch hunting in other levels.

This is awesome!! I started getting really mad at the game cause my splits all relied on getting good dance floor RNG in Tubular City! I'll try out these strats and start warming up again!

I was wondering how I could remap the controls like the rules allow? I am having trouble finding any info online about doing so. Thank you!
