 ===Faster Climbing===
 (Discovered by Inexistence (I think...))
-When climbing a ladder or a climbable wall, if you continuously double jump as much as possible, you will climb a little faster than normal.  Also, if you have levitation, you can climb even faster by holding float while you jump and climb.  What will happen is that you will begin to float, and immediately place the ball underneath you, which will force you up a little bit.
+When climbing a ladder or a climbable wall, if you hit cancel, you will release from the wall while rising a little.  After that, you can double jump, and you will climb a little faster than normal.  Also, if you have levitation, you can climb even faster by holding float while you jump and climb.  What will happen is that you will begin to float, and immediately place the ball underneath you, which will force you up a little bit.
 When climbing as giant Raz (in Lungfishopolis), it is fastest to move around a little such that you don't re-grab the climbing surface right away.  That way you get the full height of the double jump before you re-grab, which helps your otherwise slow climbing speed.

 Thanks to the 'Talk through walls' glitch, it is now possible to beat the game without invisibility.  Hence, the minimum requirements to beat the game is rank 20 (to get PK and TK) and the cobweb duster (which needs rank 20 to use anyways).
-Note that since this is a recent find, the any% route listed in the wiki is now obsolete.  Work is being done to re-work the route to take into account the lower completion requirements (and the fact that invisibility is not available for the final stage).
+The route has now been updated to reflect this, however the figment collection is not quite optimal, since still too many are listed as required.

 =====Skipping Invisibility=====
 (Discovered by SMK)
-For the longest time the single barrier requiring invisibility to beat the game was bypassing Bonita's door in Gloria's mind.  Walk towards the door, and stand just to the right of it, facing the wall (you should be standing as close to the wall as possible).  Now, psyblast, and quickly mash the 'talk' (i.e. use) button during this animation.  If you do it right, you'll talk to Bonita though the door, which will unlock both her door and the door to the prop room to get the candles.
