Hello guys, I think the stuff you all are doing is awesome ).
I was just looking at Pirohiko's WIP. I was thinking about his double spin jumping technique (?). I'm honestly not even certain what exactly is going on there but I was noticing on the creek levels he seemed to get an extra jump to go between leaves.
The reason I'm posting is because I thought there could be an interesting application of this towards 100% that might allow a TASer to get the gem for Up The Creek on the first pass. This could be quite difficult because there are the two secret areas you have to break boxes in, but my limited knowledge on what exactly Pirohiko is doing leaves me quite optomistic.
(Sorry about the wonky pics, I downloaded an emulator for the first time today and this is how they came out)
The first box lies beneath the log here

The thing about it is the box is located on the right side of the log. So if it were possible to spin off the right side of the log and hop back up this box might be obtainable.
The next area is the section behind the exit portal. I hoped over the exit portal in a similar fashion as in The Great Gate and this is a pic of the leaf at its closest point

Now for me on console I would say this is an unachievable jump but perhaps for the skilled TASer it could be quite doable. Another thing I noticed was when I was standing on the back rim of the platform I could not move left or right. It acted like there were walls there but I could hop and land to the left and right, but when I stood on the right side of the platform I could move freely

So as I said I have very limited knowledge on what Pirohiko is doing, but I would be interested in seeing if this can be another level eliminated from being revisited during Crash Bandicoot 100% (at least for TAS lol). So if anyone could give me help or tips on doing that, then I would appreciate it.
