You can get two hits on your opponent's gate in one roll with this trick.
If you race down this map of the Frankish Empire fast enough and jump into the gate just right, your boulder will fly off the edge and fall, triggering the game to set you back in front of the gate. From there, you can roll into the gate again and do extra damage, just enough that it could decide an important match.
Unfortunately, the camera angle is locked in place during this trick and the movement controls are messed up a bit. You could theoretically score two full power hits against the gate within the span of about 20 seconds, but you'd have to perform the second hit blind and hope you're on target.
This is limited only to courses that have a thin enough pathway to fall off of.

Combining a Slingshot and a Staircase can greatly increase the distance Sofi travels in a speedrun.
Once youve reached level five, you get access to the Slingshot, an imperative item for speedrunning because its the only one that pushes Sofi through stages faster. Providing youre on flat ground, placing a Staircase immediately in front of a Slingshot shoots her over it and gives her significant height over a normal shot. Additionally, if you place it immediately in front but one block above the Slingshot, the Staircase will further increase the distance traveled.
Its important to note that misclicking becomes a huge issue now. If you place a Staircase two blocks out from the Slingshot, you either almost or completely stop Sofi. Also, remember that this is only applicable when Sofi walks into a Slingshot falling or jumping up into a Slingshot will have different results. (I may do a video on this as well.)
Luckily this makes a speedrun an intense test of not only swapping to the Slingshot and getting it placed for maximum speed, but also dexterously adding staircases when possible. Despite the game being very simple and straightforward, a speedrun is actually quite difficult since the blocks youre given are determined randomly. This means you need to be quick to mentally process the block youre given as well as fast enough to place the appropriate one down.")
