#speedrun

A glitch that warps you to a destination the game never intended.

Phasing through solid walls or floors that are supposed to block you.

When a TAS proves it runs on real console hardware, not just an emulator.

Reloading a savestate over and over to retry inputs while building a perfect TAS.

Falling out of the game world into the empty void below it.

Spamming the pause menu to step the game forward one frame at a time.

Going out of bounds so the game flings you to a whole new location.

Dying on purpose to abuse respawn placement for faster travel.

Safer, slower strategies you run when consistency beats raw speed.

Forcing the game's random number generator to give you the outcome you want.

Taking a hit on purpose to ride the knockback or abuse invincibility frames.

An input that only works if you hit it on one exact frame.

Timing moving stage elements so you hit them at the perfect moment.

The game's still running but you're stuck with no way to win — only a reset fixes it.

Positioning so exact you have to be on the right individual pixel.
