Hello, namesnipes found a glitch and posted about it in the guides: http://www.speedrun.com/st/guide/afj1z
@namesnipes : Can you still crouch once you are in this weird state? What happens if you crouch bellow a pipe or an enemy or if get hit while crouched/crouching?
Not sure in which level this glitch could save time anyway because it implies to first take an egg. But it’s still the first glitch I see in supertux :-)
When I try to crouch like that I get pushed up to the surface, but you can get a fire flower and still stay like that.
So I don't think you can save time but its still a cool find :P
Yeah, and it means glitches in supertux are not impossible, there maybe someway to like get out of bounds to skip part of levels or something.
I don't know what you guys are thinking, but to clear it up, I'm giving my thoughts on this.
This is by no means an exploit, in fact it may actually hinder the runner.
As I see it, what is happening is when tux jumps on the spike or whatever, for whatever reason, the physical level and art level split, specifically, the physical level goes down one. This has no effect on gameplay besides aesthetics.
Neat trick.
Well, I didn't see any coin block, but the enemys were not in the same spot, as I said, their hit boxes were lowered
