The problem with that idea is that when you Spongeglide after getting CB and taking damage, you won't be able to steer the Spongeglide due to how you lose control after getting hurt. If it's possible to get hit into the Bubble Bowl switch using the tikis, you would only be able to Spongeglide in the direction you go after getting hurt.

Personnal and I believe that the trick in that video and Goo Lagoon backwards are the same trick executed differently. We feel like this trick, which we refer to as Spongegliding, happens when something stops Spongebob from falling during his ground pound. Once Spongebob gets stuck, there has to be some speed to get Spongebob to move in that state. With Goo Lagoon backwards, you temporarily get stuck inside the buoy after getting knocked back by the goo. When you get the right angle, it stops Spongebob from falling for a slight moment, which puts him in the "stuck" state. The speed from the goo in addition to the angle you have will move Spongebob during his "stuck" state. Since you normally can't control Spongebob after he touches the goo, you can't control where Spongebob will go during the Spongeglide. In Sandy's Dream, ground pounding into the Bubble Bowl switch puts Spongebob into the "stuck" state. Getting Cruise Boost before ground pounding gives you the speed needed to move Spongebob during his "stuck" state. Since you keep full control after activating CB, you get a steerable Spongeglide. I haven't done much testing with this, so I might be wrong about some of the specifics; however, I feel like I know the basic idea of this trick.

Here is what a TAS route of FDG would kinda look like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UF_Q1zZAQ0 If anyone can think of some ways to improve this route, then I'll look into them.

Since I can't seem to reply on Youtube atm for some reason, can I ask will you ever submit the runs to SDA?
I currently don't have any plans of doing that. I would probably have to use an S-video cable to get the run on SDA, so I'd have to buy that before I could think about submitting a run.

I'm not sure why this works, but if there's a trigger in Robo-Patrick's arena, this glitch should make it possible to reach it in a speedrun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_YjlR8RM1c

So I recently found a few new shortcuts in this game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icZOQ7geP0U The "No Setup" clips would be used in a TAS. The "Setup" clips would be used in a speedrun.

I've figured out a very consistent method for Goo Lagoon's cutscene skip as well as a way to get the Wack-A-Tiki sock as Spongebob: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLpW_Esedw0 Also, itspersonnal just uploaded his Goo Lagoon any% route: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxk7ZgveRWI
