>>It could very well be so that whoever made that particular level just happened to drag his mouse a bit too far out of screen when he was creating the collision layer, giving Abe a rare and small off-screen platform to stand on.
The interesting thing is, this "platform" can't be hit while dropping through the floor in the first place. (I know that all collision for Abe's vertical length is passed through, so I dropped down from a little higher area to prevent accidentally going through the platform.)
Also, the fact that Abe actually re-surfaced back to the screen must mean that you can do *something* down there.
>>I suppose nothing happens to the Mudokon counter when they do?
Hmm, didn't check.

I found a small timesave from Oddysee. While testing auto-turn cancelling possibilities with sligs, I noticed that sometimes doing the necessary action on elevators, I skipped both the auto-turn and grabbing onto the elevator ropes, saving maybe a second. So, if you are ever controlling a slig, need to use an elevator, but are coming from the wrong direction...
(however, auto-turn can't be cancelled with sligs by running. Shame.)

Fusionbly noted that it's possible to possess sligs while out of screen (via Elum teleport).

However, doing this will not let you fool the flying electric orbs of doom, as they prove capable of shocking you even if you are physically several screen-lengths away.
Doing this the other way around, so that Abe is out of screen inside a room where there's an orb and a slig, chanting works because the orb disappears. However, sligs disappear too...

Here's more info about the elusive "double pick-up" glitch:

Note that on PSX version the game crashes if you attempt to pick up more than 9 of rocks (or anything?).
I was happy when I first saw this. Unfortunately it's just the infinite symbol... you still run out... >.<
You can actually pick up a huge amount (you still have to manually pick them up). I've tested picking up to 181 grenades...(it seems to always crash at 182?) At this point, some slight graphics glitches start to occur.
Another weird thing is that if you enter a Paramonia stage where only meat can be found,,, but you already picked up 'infinite rocks' from another stage - those infinite rocks turn into infinite meat - im not sure if this is normal.

anomalous running/skidding = glitch
Thanks to the people who found and provided info on the auto-turn glitch.
You land on a floor? after dropping through here. Running right brings you to the next screen (the normal screen to the right) and then freezes. Running left freezes immediately. Abe is alive if you stand still, you can chant and the red zapper thing hits you.....
Another screen warp. This one will bring you to another secret area. It's interesting... because you drop into a wall. Then you have to do the following: (remember you cannot see abe at all here, you can hear him and see his coords with ram watch though. You have to run far right, then running jump left, then keep running left. Finally, jump and move around. You should fall out to a secret screen. Abe is fully controllable here. Hopefully there are more useful screen warps later on)

I need to find out how this is done:

But on ePSXe with the same plugins it's perfect:
