- Fast Level 8 [YouTube] Discovered by hahhah42. - Level 9 Sword Skip If timed right, the grapple point on level 9's drop platform can be skipped by using the sword.

Bugs and Exploits

- Boss Speedkill If the boss hits multiple shurikens on the same frame, ALL of them will deal damage before his invincibility gets activated. - Coyote Slingshot Activating a grapple point while in coyote/grace time (the short window where you can still jump after walking off a ledge) will launch Ninja Cat toward the grapple point at high speed, which can be transferred into high forward momentum. - Early Sword (frame perfect) Due to a bug in the double-tap weapon switch, you can use the sword early! Press the attack button on the same frame as the second tap, and Ninja Cat will use the sword. Might be useful for a TAS? Discovered by throwing this TAS script at the code without any changes. (The GIF is running at 50% speed) - Wall Jump From Grapple (frame perfect) [YouTube] Discovered by hahhah42. Looks kind of like the pipe-jump bug in Super Mario Bros.
