This is currently the best route I've come up with for getting to the goal treasure chest of the third map of the Frozen Caves in as little time as possible. A route like this is only really useful in a full game speedrun.
I show a couple ways to approach this level. The first trick utilizes a glitch with the way the game processes damage. When hit by an enemy or falling door, Tobe can continue moving in one directly briefly, but with the added benefit of temporarily being able to pass into walls and blocks. Normally you wouldn't notice the effect since you are typically booted back out of the block without issue, but sometimes it acts differently or you can jump.
This allows you to move through the wall that's normally activated by a switch. From there, you can take the level the standard way, or you can use the Floor Door to pass through a number of places in this map. This level has the most useful potential Floor Door spots of any level in the game.
You can use it on the wall raised by the switch if the trick with the falling door is too difficult (or finicky), as well as the wall immediately after this area. The third one is not as useful since it requires you to pass through the door to perform another Floor Door with little space, saving very little time over just standing on the switch next to the door and running off to the left.
