Kentucky, USAExcellent work shaobruna! If somebody were to execute this skip quickly during a speedrun of the game, it would save more than 4 minutes!!!!
I wanted to make a separate forum post about this just for clarity and to sort of organize all things related to it.
clix_gaming found this skip and mentioned it in another forum post related to solutions for the Sudoku and Crossword puzzles in the game. This was done on the PAL version.

I messed around with it myself before seeing the clip and managed to figure it out as well, but in a very slightly different way in terms of positioning and such. This was also done on the PAL version (on Duck Station emulator).

The basic idea is to take damage, then while Mituki still has invincibility frames, dodge roll into the lasers. The animation of the roll itself will cancel the animation of getting shocked. After rolling into the lasers, do a kick to cancel the animation, followed by another roll. If you manage to get a bit over halfway through the lasers, the knockback sends you through the other way instead towards the exit.
This skips needing to get the electromagnetic key, go to the cafeteria for the Notebook with the Sudoku puzzle, solving the Sudoku puzzle and inputting its solution into the central terminal to disable the lasers. Exact time save is hard to determine, but its a couple minutes at least.
As of this post itself, it is not known if this skip is possible on the Japanese version of the game. The higher frame rate could make it much more difficult. Will report back!
I ended up messing around myself as well yesterday and figuring it out too. My method looks the same from what I can tell. Figured I would post mine here too for more science/research. This was on the PAL version, running the game on the most up to date version of Duck Station.

Would love to know more about that skip. Tried to find a video of it and couldn't.
Can we get some categories please? The game has been out now for a bit. Thanks!
The layout change is now over. A few things to note.
-
If anybody happens upon a run of Break the Targets, Board the Platforms or either of the Race to the Finish modes that isn't in the right place (incorrect character etc) do let me know. Everything should be 99%-100% correct.
-
In the coming days, I will be adding various spreadsheet times from the WR Spreadsheet.
-
Runs can now technically be submitted for the original SSB cast on Break the Targets and Board the Platforms, but they should all be rejected and redirected to the SSB leaderboard instead naturally.
Lastly, let me know if there are any further questions, concerns or wanted changes. Happy running folks.
Hello all!
I'm going to be doing a bit of a restructure of the Bonus board shortly. I am also going to take that time to update some of the times on our board to be accurate with the community spreadsheet.
The short version is that the Bonus board will be a bit easier to navigate and the board will be more accurate! As a result, over the next 48 hours or so, some things might look a bit weird on there, but rest assured no data will be lost, expect some notifications though more than likely. Thanks!
I can get started on the process shortly depending on exactly what everybody else wants. Much thanks!
I don't think it was implemented in the first place actually. I have noticed some discrepancies as well from the times mentioned above to the times that are actually displayed on the board (in particular, the former 1st place time by Casj is listed here as a 1:02:XX but on the main board it is displayed as 1:03:XX).
I am more than willing to help retime runs depending on how the process works. I've never used LRT before so I'm not sure exactly what to do, but I moderate many games so I'm sure I could figure it out!
I have noticed that some of the older times for Board the Platforms, can't be competed against due to updates (some platforms move, others don't etc). That might apply to other bonuses as well, unclear, but yeah. This isn't a complaint to be clear, just an observation. I would have no idea how to handle a situation like this, so I just wanted to bring it to the attention of others who would know.
I also have noticed that version 1.5.2 is not a selectable version.
Lastly, hey everybody. Lmao.
Hey guys. I wanted to note that we have a BK games server. Y'all are obviously not obligated to join by any means, but we would love to have some Pocketbike runners in the mix of course!
Also, I'm definitely picking this game up. After 10 years of running Sneak King, the time has come for me to finally play the other ones.
I notice there are no moderators?
Bump. Would love to see the 8-Bit Anthology board or PC platform option get made/implemented. Thanks!
Hello Beyond Shadowgate community.
I am a speedrunner and moderator for Shadowgate 64. Recently, a new potential runner asked about a server for the game and I realized there isn't one for any of the games or the series to share resources and such, so I made one. I know you all are highly inactive and it may go years before anybody sees this, but I wanted to invite your community to join the server. I will happily create channels for Beyond Shadowgate and give moderator roles to any mods. Not obligated to join of course, but the invite is there!
Hello Shadowgate Returns community.
I am a moderator and speedrunner of Shadowgate 64. Recently, a new potential runner asked about a server for Shadowgate 64 and I noticed that none of the Shadowgate games have a place where resources and such can be posted and shared. As such, I made a server. I am inviting the entire Shadowgate series to share this server as well if desired (not obligated to join of course).
That being said, if you do indeed want to join, I will happily create channels for Shadowgate Returns and give moderator roles to your mod team (or rather, just dnkcafe I suppose since that is the only moderator lol).
