In the YouTube video "The Grinch: Any% Speedrun in 48:55.70 [Former WR]" (how it's titled at the moment) by Jumpyluff
At 37:55 you don't need the white platform. You can jump on the car by running into it and double jumping, then jumping again. That might save a few seconds.
It is a glitch because obviously the creators intended the white platform to be used to jump on the car.
You can also jump over a small fence in the beginning of Who Lake to possibly save a few seconds. But the jump might not be consistent. Walking around is consistent.
This is all at least with my PC version. Cheers.
Hey, thanks for bringing these glitches to our attention. It would be pretty helpful if you could get some clips of those too.
On a separate note, it's super not relevant what other mistakes are in any of our runs. If you want to talk about the mistakes any/all of us have made, it should be done in a different forum.
What's your setup for this? I'm able to get the max fence jump setup,but not able to get this truck jump. Is there a specific spot you have to jump?
Double jump to the front of the car between the boats to jump on the car, then jump again to jump on the boats. Keep running forward before and after you double jump to jump as far as possible.
This is all at least with my PC version.
The front of the car appears to have no hitbox, I can not stand anywhere on the car, even with running. Is there a way you can make a vod of this?
I filmed it with my phone, uploaded to YouTube. I'm a bit lazy to search for a better method. www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6pPxhxTprA&feature=youtu.be
This video shows some glitches that don't seem to be useful. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSwjeAxOB4s
There was a great new observation in ChurchnSarge's current Any% 47 m 33 s WR run that in Downtown Whoville when you're with the cloak you can jump on the kid and then on the platform, which can get rid of the swinging cutscene entirely from the run in some cases and also gets rid of the swinging there, which Jumpyluff hates (he said so in his current 100% WR 2:27:50 run at 4:40, where he also failed the jump 7 times in a row) and ChurchnSarge has also mentioned it is hard. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAWfdaNIsOc. The particular swinging might be annoying and less consistent. The new observation might also be a glitch.
Yeah, the cloak thing is a known thing, Been known for about 8 months. With the addition of the new opening for whoville it makes all the cutscene skipable. Which is sad because that jump was super easy for me, but I know it's been a problem for others,
I've tried testing sleigh parts for a new skip or observation after noticing the johncarls the Wholake GPS skip. I haven't found anything useful. I'm posting this so that others don't have to test it themselves. If I remember correctly, here's what I've tried: getting all the sleigh parts except the marine mobile, then except the GPS, marine mobile, then except the GPS, the Dump, then except the GPS, the Whoforest, then except the GPS, Downtown Whoville, then except the Dump. Apparently all the sleigh parts are needed except the GPS, but this might be more complicated. I've also tried getting all the sleigh parts except the GPS like johncarls did and it worked like it's seemingly supposed to.
This is all at least with my PC version.
In ChurchnSarge's 47:33 run at 33:28 (www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEezZx-NJWs) it's possible to double jump over the fence, with or without touching it. But it's not too consistent. Walking around is consistent.
There are two useful videos made by ChurchnSarge here: and
At 43:15 ChurchnSarge was wrong that he was defenceless against the mosquitoes there.
Or at 38:53 of this run www.twitch.tv/videos/124353668.
You can defeat them with the electric shocks near the scout guard house or near the female skunk.
But that takes a lot more time than just using your breath or a weapon or getting hit by one possibly just once and it's not worth it for the speed runs of the game.
The "cloak thing" hasn't been known for just 8 months. See this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4hyghsZ-K0 at 8:50. It's been known for at least 3.5 years because that's how old the video is.
