This is a bizzare little collision error that probably doesn't have much practical use, but activating Ywok's bubble ability while trapped inside of a solid piece of scenery gives you a stored burst of speed.
The only place I found this to work -- though I'm sure there are more -- is during the final boss of world 3, after hitting Dyer's machine for the first time. This blocks up the narrow passageway upward, but with careful timing activating Ywok's bubble, you can stick yourself to the obstacle briefly while maintaining the shield.
Dust rises from underneath Ywok as if the bubble shield is actually still bouncing. Once this happens, you can deactivate the bubble shield. Pressing left or right will cause Ywok to fly in whatever direction you press, moving a fair distance rapidly.
Obviously, there's a small gap between Ywok's hitbox and the bubble shield's hitbox, causing some confusion with the shield's bouncy qualities.
Any distance that this covers can be easily made up by a simple jump or bounce, but it's interesting for the fact that the energy is stored, meaning it could theoretically be used to move past a narrow gap quickly. More likely than not, this won't see much use, since I feel like this is a simple, useless, but unusual bug.
(I changed the audio encoder so my voice will be a little bit clearer. The last one had a weird clipping problem.)
