Welcome, foolish mortals, to the Haunted Mansion!
So I was foraging through speedrun website and stumbled upon The Haunted Mansion.
Zombiegod96 is the top speedrunner (basically one of the very few). It seemed like a pretty good looking game!
One of the skips ZombieGod96 came across is glitching through the door frame (where a door is separate from the wall ). Here is an example of a useful spot to use it in:

Instead of doing the puzzle or whatever was actually in this room, glitching through the wrought iron and pulling the lever to turn the lights on is easier.
A skip I came across was in another area called Winter Gardens, I call it the Super Jump. Some of the falling platforms jerk upwards more quickly than others, this can be abused by jumping at the correct time (I suspect its about a 2-frame window).

A timesaver I found was in the Conservatory which instead of following the path of books which slowly creates itself as you walk with it. Jumping very quickly on the floating books allow you to get to the lever quicker.

In the Toy Room, I came across some great time savers that skips a balancing beam, going around the long ways in the Toy Room. I don't think they expected people to make these jumps (especially not consistently like my TAS will).

Now for the fun part, I created all these maps to route out how I would go about TASing this. It was actually quite fun to make. For the msot part, the location of the Souls are irrelevant because you can usually scoop up about two or more Souls before they've even gone very far.
