Any%: No rules (current record to my knowledge is 23:98 by crobodile)
0 Checkpoint%: You may only touch the very first checkpoint, yes it is possible (current record to my knowledge is 29:74 by me, i don't have video proof tho)
100%: Stand on every platform, checkpoint, sign and pillar possible (current record to my knowledge is 1:22:55 by space)
Sure, Lava skip is very vital, if when you first start you fall into the lava and press space at the same time, you'll be teleported ahead. It's a bit tricky but with practice you can do it. Hold (W+A) or (W+D) to move much faster.
There is a glitch that sometimes disables the shift, if you run on a edge you can lose your double jump but if its a triple pad you just lose your triple jump and gain a double jump. make sure you are landing on the pad right!
"Why does Bubsy 3D use tank controls?" "To create complexity!"
Yeah that's not really an answer. It's especially ironic considering this game is so simple, but artificial complexity like that doesn't really serve any purpose anyway.
I discovered a wall noclip trick where if you double jump off certain ledges into certain corners you can climb up walls to the top of them. VERY nice trick. I've only been able to replica it twice in 2 different spots.
23.98642! Very strong run. At first I doubted that 23 was possible with these strats but I executed this run very well. If someone beats this I will be very impressed.
I believe that there are about .2 seconds to be saved at the second to last checkpoint if you do the climb absolutely perfectly, and a faster strat might be possible at the staircase section near the beginning.
I also found that it is possible to jump from the last blue platform in the section where you jump around the 3 walls and go directly to the next checkpoint, but I think its about .1 slower than the normal route.
Here's a list of the most important techniques for getting a fast time:
1. Diagonal Running - By holding down 2 movement keys (such as W and A), you will move diagonally about 45% faster than you move going forward normally. This is used throughout basically the entire run except for the climbing section near the beginning.
2. Short Double Jumping - Press shift to double jump right after you jump normally to do a jump that is slightly higher than a normal jump but not as high as a full double jump. This is used throughout the entire climbing section, the staircase section after it, and the difficult movement at the second to last checkpoint.
3. Respawn Teleport - At the very beginning, run directly into the lava and then as soon as you respawn above the first platform, jump and then double jump to reach the top of the first checkpoint.
4. Edge Jumping - If the lower half of your character runs into the edge of a platform while you are moving upwards, you are still able to jump off of it, however it will not refresh your double jump (unless you edge jump off a triple jump platform). This is used to do the small jumps during the staircase section, and also used at the very last triple jump platform to save a small amount of time. This bug is very annoying during the climbing section because if you accidentally edge jump, you will not be able to double jump to the next platform. To avoid this, wait until you are falling down to hit the platform. In my WR, I do a very short jump and hit the platform as soon as I start falling.

AWESOME I got 2:08
Backwards any% run tutorial/showcase
Sorry but this is wrong, you don't need to hold space or T at all. If you just never press W or SPACE the timer won't start.
i found that if you hold space → press t while having space held you can keep jumping without starting the timer.
Making the whole game possible to beat without starting the timer.
Oh.
ik this already
BREAKING NEWS:
NEW SPEEDRUN OPTION HAS BEEN DISCOVERED!
By never pressing "space" or the "W" Key, the timer never starts!
Shift still works though. Give the "Backwards any% run" a shot.
(If you use this trick your run will not be ranked with normal any% runs)
You must provide video footage.
any% run
WhAT
funny bug i found
could beat it in under a second of ingame time
will make video explaining how to do the glitch if want
YES PLEASE!
Holy-I figured it out...
oh what is it???
i got 42.8697!!
i got 42.81993!!
i was so moved when i reached the triple jump, genuinely above the standards of AAA writing, such an emotional story
Different categories to try:
Any%: No rules (current record to my knowledge is 23:98 by crobodile)
0 Checkpoint%: You may only touch the very first checkpoint, yes it is possible (current record to my knowledge is 29:74 by me, i don't have video proof tho)
100%: Stand on every platform, checkpoint, sign and pillar possible (current record to my knowledge is 1:22:55 by space)
Record for any% is 23.98 to my knowledge.
Also, its been found that for 100% you stand on everything except the "T" to restart sign.
ALSO ANOTHER RECORD TO TRY: Trackpad WR at 30 seconds.
Plus backwards run.
how do you get on the very last pillar (Between 3jump and last checkpoint)
that's the only one you can't reach. But, by moving your character sideways, you can make the jump after the first two pillars to the other ones.
YES I DID A 42!!! (42.69071)
Good job.
thanks could you give me some tips to improve my runs?
Sure, Lava skip is very vital, if when you first start you fall into the lava and press space at the same time, you'll be teleported ahead. It's a bit tricky but with practice you can do it. Hold (W+A) or (W+D) to move much faster.
wow tysm!
just did that time (without lava skip), is it good ? or mid ?
average i would say it only saves 2 secs or 1.5 so yeah
Lava skip can save up to 5 seconds. That's a good time for any%.
but for me it saves 2 secs i used to have the world record for any% but i got beaten.
oh.
I realized there was a jump that I found impossible before, but now found possible.
Try and beat it.
RULES:
-Must touch every platform.
-Must have an uploaded video to YouTube.
-Must stand on every sign.
-Must stand on every wall/pillar.
GOOD LUCK!
Why do you not touch the sign and the block next to the goal
some on should put this on speedrun.com
I would love to be the one to do that, but I don't know how.
if i do it ill post it in a comment
Please do.
help the triple jump, i dont know how to do it
You press space, then shift for the double jump, then you press shift again to tripple jump! good luck!
ohh alright! i tried doing that but it didnt really work so i guess my shift is broken?
There is a glitch that sometimes disables the shift, if you run on a edge you can lose your double jump but if its a triple pad you just lose your triple jump and gain a double jump. make sure you are landing on the pad right!
okay! thank you!
Your welcome!
But I'm not jumping high enough, even with triple jump :sad:
34 seconds. On my way to track pad OFFICAL WR of thirty seconds/
4:28.6 on my first try is that good
edit: yes i will keep updating this
2:15.4 on my second try
1:56.4 on my third try
1:26.8 on my 4th try
to get faster time, learn the lava skip.
good idea
56.7 seconds!
52.8
Why are jump and double jump two different buttons?
TO CREATE COMPLEXITY!

"To create complexity!"
Yeah that's not really an answer. It's especially ironic considering this game is so simple, but artificial complexity like that doesn't really serve any purpose anyway.
The dev probably was limited by something, maybe binding both to the same button was causing issues
my best time so far
rlly fun and simple

why is there no restart button?!
press T
34.65
not bad
world record time nebver done before lik ein ever of the history of ever
W
slayyyy
43.21. getting closer to sub 40
just 43 now
3:56.90828 wow
got a 33.88 without any checkpoint except the first
Current record for a 0% run is around 1:22, so if you have video evidence of the run, you might just snatch it
nope, you only need the very first checkpoint
you actually only need 2 checkpoints, the very first, and the second to last
all others can be skipped using proper strats
I just got 37.63. Every run I do now is a sub 40, I discovered a cool trick where you can glitch inside a wall and make your run faster.
Now 36.23.
35.54!
got sub 50. not much looking at the other runs but it's a start
23.98642! Very strong run. At first I doubted that 23 was possible with these strats but I executed this run very well. If someone beats this I will be very impressed.

Nice run, i will try and beat it as soon as possible, But i just got a new Keyboard
So i still have to get used to it.
bruh. best time is half of mine :|
dang i got 58 seconds
Nice!
GGS
how the hell
WHAT HELLO HOW DID YOU SKIP AT THE START???? /gen
if you walk into the lava and then time a jump right when you respawn you will be high enough to double jump to the top
ooh! man, speedrun strats are always so cool :0
