Only other things I can think of is

1. Zolar has a loose trigger somewhere allowing you to skip ahead in the level.
2. A battleplex skip inside the battleplex abusing the menu.

Also Gimlick valley is split into the 3 sections current (when you first zone in), old (back in time), new (after you defeat the Agorians). They are at the same point on the Y axis right beside each other with the old one inbetween. If there is a high enough point in the old section you could hoverboot over to the new section, power up the ship and leave. It's worth noting that the sections only render when you take a portal to them, so the only thing you can see are the crates, people and ship.

~~Which ramp in Axiom City were you talking about? I've been checking out Axiom City a little bit today but I'm not sure what you meant.~~

Nevermind, I understand. I'm having trouble finding anything here :/

I'll share what I've found over the past month or so.

Axiom city is heavily trigger based. I found a series of glitches that would get you to the ramp but it doesn't let you progress through the level from there, would have saved roughly 40 seconds.

Zolar requires you to get the trigger/cutscene of Vorselon's ship leaving in order for you to leave the planet. I wasn't able to find any loose triggers but i did find a faster zoni route that works like
and has you leaving zolar with 2 zoni instead of 3, saves 15ish seconds.

Battleplex has an extremely weird menu. I don't really know why it's there or what its purpose is

I can only make assumptions but I think every teleporter with a menu like Battleplex has a correlating "undefined" teleporter floating somewhere on the map. If my assumption is true this would mean each Clank section should have at least one of these floating around somewhere when you revisit them. This might have a chance of allowing you to teleport to Clank section 5 bypassing 90% of the game.

There is a very simple exploit that allows you to revisit the clank sections you've been to as early as Vorselon's warship 1.

I also found a way to clip through some walls as clank while trying to find this teleporter somewhere on the map.

I've been unable to find any up to this point.

I forgot there was a spring there in Axiom City. It's too bad about the triggers, that would have been a nice skip.

The faster zoni route looks interesting. I imagine you clip out like he does around 6:40 in the video you linked and then head back without getting the vessel. Is that it, or is there more to it?

The menus/teleporters are intriguing. I'm interested in checking out the battleplex one, though I assume you've already tested most of the relevant stuff with it. Do you know if the menu can actually do anything when you use it?

You've probably found out by now but the teleporter doesn't seem to do anything. The only thing I could do is go into a sub menu but nothing else worked.

What you do in Zolar is get the 2nd Zoni before getting the first which just involves jumping and throwing your wrench. You then get ported to the end of that platforming segment. You make up for it later by getting the battery bot zoni in Axiom.

During a run I just finished I noticed that Ratchet was moving much faster than he normally does during the rail section of Molonoth before you get the hoverboots. I've never seen this before. Have you seen it, or do you have any idea what might have caused it?

It has to do with the button sequence you pressed on the black screen before you mounted the rail. I couldn't replicate it but if you spam x and forward you can just jump off the rail entirely. It's to bad you can't just run to the end.

Hey red, I've been wondering, how do you skip the part of the Nefarious fight where he makes the ships? Is there anything to it beyond just making him dance as soon as he finishes the phase before, and then buzz blading him? Also, is it possible to skip that part with just v3 buzz blades and mr zurkon?

Also, if you (or anyone else) ever wanted to submit a run again, I wouldn't mind having some real competition/extra motivation again Wink
