Did an earlier first clip in Level 4 to save about 10 seconds.

The later levels here don't have any beneficial clips.

Magnifying glass and shoe bosses are about as good as they can be.

Level 11 has the slowest leaf boat known to man, and you have to ride it for most of the level.

Turns out one frame of the fast accel setup (crouch-walking in the opposite direction) is completely unnecessary, just crouch-walking brings your speed from 0 to 13 instantly.

Z's walking speed caps out at 22, and jumping at 28, so you want to be airborne as much as possible.

The platforms you can clip into have to be very specific, I'm not sure how many case uses there are beyond this.

Been sitting on a full game TAS of this for about three years, I just never made it public for some reason.

But after seeing the clips in action, I'm thinking of giving this another shot. Yeah, the platforms required for them aren't very common, but their potential does excite me somewhat.

Also features a bit of tech which gets Z to maximum speed from a standstill (DL+DR followed by a jump to the right within a three frame window, inverse for going left, basically fast acceleration), and stops him from sliding when walking in the opposite direction (crouch-walking in the opposite direction for a single frame, then jumping).

That clip glitch is very useful on level 4 specially, skips most of the level, the specific kind of ledges you need for the clip are not that common tho. Figuring out ways to clip on different geometry should be able to skip a lot more. The spikes clip mentioned on Forum/Topics/14226 could be a way, but I haven't had any luck recreating it yet.
