This isn't particularly useful in practice since it's quite precise compared to the normal method, and I doubt it saves more than 2 seconds, if any time at all. And that time save would, of course, only apply if you're going to the devil gate to unlock the spring, which NG Any% doesn't do in the Fire Tablet Skip Route. Mostly uploading this in case anyone ever makes a proper TAS of this game and can compare both strats optimally.


Most of the time you don't stick to this crevice at all and slide down. Even when you do stick, getting the jump, double jump, wall bounce to push you onto the ledge in one shot seems inconsistent. There's a jump barrier a bit farther up the crevice which can mess things up.
