Speedrunning demands precise exploitation of glitches and sequence breaks to minimize game completion times. Techniques such as the backwards long-jump to bypass Super Mario 64's endless stairs, the Ganondoor trick in Ocarina of Time to warp directly to the final boss, and the Saving Corruption Finish glitch in Pokémon Yellow demonstrate how players manipulate game mechanics and routing strategies. Understanding these methods enables players to develop optimized routes that leverage game memory manipulation, timing methods like IGT and RTA, and accepted glitch usage rules to achieve record-breaking runs.
