Shows that it's possible (if just barely) to take the Soul Sphere in Doom 64 level 32, Hectic, without getting trapped. To do this, the player must get as close as possible to the Soul Sphere (aka 'Supercharge') without actually stepping too far into the blue chamber, or staying too long. This is easier said than done, and the difference between success and failure is minimal.
While this particular maneuver can be done in all retail versions of Doom 64, in practice it can be hard to do, and may take several tries.

Note that taking the Soul Sphere will start a scripted event that lasts several seconds. While this is happening, other scripted events, such as enemy ambushes, are suspended. This can allow you to pick up the red key and blue key without the threat of attack. The Mega-armor trap sequence is also suspended, but will eventually resume, which can prevent you from exiting the level.
