	For the jail-escape part it's a lot faster jumping while sliding down. Once the next part is entered, there is a way to skip the [[Murfy]] dialogue after the first cage has been broken. To do so, the player must land on the rocks behind the cage, once it has been hit twice, and then quickly jump up again. The next trick will allow the player to skip the cutscene with the [[baby Globox]]es. To do so, the player must land their jump on the far left side of the ledge where they are. By doing this the cutscene trigger will be skipped, and the player can move on by jumping into the tunnel. Once the wall-jump area is reached, it is once again faster to jump diagonally.

	=== Important Glitches ===		=== Important Glitches ===
			Rayman's midair momentum is programmed very strangely. Generally, Rayman's speed is stored in memory until it is reset by the game. This design quirk can be utilized by the player in a couple of ways:

	====Froot Loop Boosting====		====Froot Loop Boosting====
	While ~~swinging~~ on a ~~[[flying ring]]~~, ~~[[Rayman\|~~Rayman's~~]] moving~~ speed is ~~much~~ higher than his ~~usual~~ walking speed. ~~As fast as he lets go of~~ the ~~[[flying ring\|ring]] his speed will return~~ to the ~~normal speed depending on if he holds left~~, ~~right or none of the directional buttons~~. However, if up or down ~~is held down~~ the game will not ~~return [[Rayman\|~~Rayman's]] speed to ~~normal and he'll keep the same speed as when swinging. This increase of speed stops as fast as~~ up or down ~~is let go~~ of.		While on a Ring, Rayman's speed, as interpreted by the game, is exponentially higher than his standard walking or running speed. Ordinarily, the player is limited to the latter when jumping off of a Ring, at best.

			However, if the player holds up or down, instead of left or right, the game will not reset Rayman's speed. As a result, if the player opts to hold up or down, instead of left or right, Rayman will happily rocket across the level.

	~~Some enemies will also give Rayman similarly immense speed~~, ~~which can be maintained via this same trick~~.		This comes in especially handy in Bongo Hills; it allows the player to easily break the infamous "helicopter" cage on the fifth screen without revisiting the level, saving around three minutes of time.

	====Speed Storage====		====Speed Storage====
	~~In a similar fashion to [[Flying ring\|rings]], speeds above walking~~ are ~~stored in the game~~'s ~~memory until they are~~ reset. As such, if the player ~~refrains from gaining speed~~ before jumping ~~off the side~~ of ~~an event~~ (~~such as~~ moving platforms and plums), ~~they~~ will ~~regain their prior momentum~~. One particularly noteworthy example of this is a ~~[[plum]] skip~~ which uses the momentum gained in [[Mr Sax's ~~Hullaballoo]]~~ to get over to a vine in [[Moskito's Nest]] that would otherwise not be possible to reach, ~~saving nearly~~ a ~~minute of time~~.		Rayman's "ground" and "midair" speed values are actually completely separate from one another. Rayman's "midair" speed is reset only if his subsequent midair movement exceeds 2px/frame, Rayman's standard walking speed.

			As such, if the player slows to a walk before jumping, they will not overwrite this "midair speed" value. This allows speedrunners to get large amounts of speed from slippery platforms, or Rings, and simply "store" this speed until it is actually needed.

			Events (moving platforms and plums, for instance) do not have the same properties as solid ground. If the player runs or leaps off of the edge of an event, the game will immediately switch to the "midair speed" value, causing Rayman to move at the "stored" speed.

			One particularly noteworthy example of this is "Plum Skip Skip" (so named because it replaces a notorious trick present in earlier speedruns), which uses the momentum gained in Mr. Sax's Hullabaloo to get over to a vine in Moskito's Nest that would otherwise not be possible to reach.

	~~Rayman has a massive amount of speed while~~ swinging on a ~~Ring~~, ~~but this~~ is ~~automatically reduced to~~ walking~~, running, or no~~ speed ~~as soon~~ as he ~~jumps off,~~ depending on ~~whether the player~~ holds left, right, or ~~nothing on~~ the ~~D-Pad~~.		While swinging on a [[flying ring]], [[Rayman\|Rayman's]] moving speed is much higher than his usual walking speed. As fast as he lets go of the [[flying ring\|ring]] his speed will return to the normal speed depending on if he holds left, right or none of the directional buttons. However, if up or down is held down the game will not return [[Rayman\|Rayman's]] speed to normal and he'll keep the same speed as when swinging. This increase of speed stops as fast as up or down is let go of.

	However, ~~the team forgot to program in a given amount of movement when holding~~ up or down~~, allowing~~ the ~~player~~ to ~~effectively~~ keep ~~any velocity~~ the ~~game "thinks" they have at any given time~~. This ~~was never patched in any~~ of ~~the game's subsequent releases despite the obvious nature~~ of ~~the programming error~~.
