Corovii | FOP: Hover Glitch and Great Esc-Ape OOB @corovii3227 | Uploaded September 2017 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
So apparently, if you get hit by the red "floaty things" in the middle of your second jump as you jump off the vines, after you die you store a glitch in which you rapidly float upwards infinitely. This glitch can only be cancelled by groundpounding. You can use this glitch to get on top of the ceiling in the next room and skip a small part of the level, saving a bit of time.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to replicate this glitch anywhere else in the game. As of now, it seems to be specific to taking lethal damage on the vines on this level. However, if we could find a way to replicate this glitch in other areas, then it would be massively useful for speedrunning.
