From the air (usually after a jump), dash into a walkable surface and quickly press jump. You'll be launched with the speed of the dash on a long distance, like a boosted bunny hop. It is possible on flat surfaces: the flatter it is, the more delay it needs between dash and jump.
As water form, jump and switch at the same time, or at least in that order, to get a small boost up.
Combination of Hyper Dash and Jump Switch - Starting as water form in the air, dash into a surface and immediately jump > switch into One.
Dash just before a transformation to reach a very high speed. Usually stands for the aerial version, but works on the ground (quickly alternating each input).
From the air (usually quickly after a jump), do the kick move into a geometry corner to gain momentum up.
Simply mash the dash just after respawning from a fall/void.
Go into a water tube and simply restart from checkpoint (it needs to be in the same level). This seems to disturb the transition from ground to air and locks you into a walking state, unable to jump. You'll be standing onto an invisible floor with the possibility to work your hitbox up or down by entering in contact with the environment. Find the ideal collisions in the level design to navigate in the available space. It allows the Volcano Skip (follow this routing).
Previously done thanks to the "restart from checkpoint" - patched. Still possible thanks to the glitch form (purple). Place a teleportation mark out of the portal, turn the camera away from this point, stand on the central button to activate the portal but quickly teleport back to the mark. The camera will turn to aim the mark you left, leaving enough time for the portal to activate just before you get teleported. Once escaped, the level will still unload and switch to the targeted one, leaving you unprotected and free for a few seconds...
As One, get affected by the glitch liquid but dash away from the edge of the pool to fall/void during the animation. After respawning, you'll be insensible to other liquids and to enemy attacks.
From the main menu, you choose new game, then the difficulty of your game and when you press enter, press down and enter relatively quickly. What it does is that for a brief moment after starting, you’re still able to navigate through the menu : going down and validating makes you choose CONTINUE. Right after that, move your stick forward, do a dash, jump and attack. You should be able to hear these actions during the black-screen the cutscene. The last input being an attack, you should also get a vibration from a controller.
Enter > Down > Enter > Hold stick forward > Dash > Jump > Attack
