Oh, shoot! I didn't have the context to appreciate the nature of that teleport until I saw the map in that overflow bug explanation! I thought those two screens were horizontally adjacent, and you only 'teleported' up by a single tile!!

From what they're saying in the thread 'linked' in the image, it actually CAN be used other places -- it's just that none of those other places happen to be useful for speedruns, I guess?

And oh gosh, wow -- the door opening, that's scary even to read about! Making the race even more pulse-pounding :) (I almost feel like he shouldn't have saved it for only if you're that close... then again, I guess most folks WOULD be that close, and it being different with MORE time is the easter egg rather than the other way around!)

(But, then again.... life is to be enjoyed! Here I am, so obsessing over productivity that I'm projecting it onto someone else and insisting that they should do what they're good at instead of what they love..... it's a hard mindset to shake sometimes!)
