I've been playing around with some tricks in the speedrun lately and I'd love to share a few small things I found. Since it's a lot to type out, I made some simple videos to explain them in more detail.

Firstly I'd like to show an interesting scroll glitch at the bridge, which is a result of one of those strange momentum glitches that are used a lot in the current TAS WR by McBobX. If done right, a vine appears in the middle of the bridge. The exact strat was found by Ischbinder (as far as I'm aware) and I found a way to make the vine appear somewhat more consistently, I hope it helps!

Secondly, a very small time save due to a new early platform trick, right after leaving the ice area. Reaching the second moving platform without waiting normally has a very small frame window, but grabbing onto the vine increases this window and makes the jump much easier.

I tried not to show just the tricks in the videos, but also a bit of an explanation about why and how they work, so that anyone can play around with the tricks if interested. Let me know what you think!
