Message: [QUOTE="Graw, post: 155950, member: 90249"] Super Metroid has a bunch of speed running tricks like that. The mockball's a fun one to pull off for the early super missile skip so you can bypass spore spawn. It's easy to learn and you can do it early in the game. You can also skip all the grapple beam stuff with wall jumps and shine sparks so you don't ever actually have to fight crocomire either. Crystal Project has a somewhat linear intro section but you can just skip the entire thing, go on a bit of a convoluted journey, get the underwater mount and pretty much open the entire game up from the very beginning if you know where to go and what to do. Hollow Knight has a ton of places where you can pogo jump off enemies and stuff to reach places you normally need the dash or double jump to get to. Link's awakening has a well known wrong warp glitch involving the chain chomp in town that can break the game open. A lot of nes games have glitches that can be exploited just because of the way they were programmed. Not quite the same but Axiom Verge took the idea of glitches and sequence breaking and incorporated it as part of the game mechanics. Metroidvanias in general are great for this kind of thing because they tend to have an intended linear progression but due to the design of those types of games sequence breaking almost becomes inevitable just because it's hard to account for every single thing a player might do at any given point in time at any particular place on the map with a given set of powerups.
