GlitchOut: Skip Pillars in Dusty Desert (Shadow)

Game: Sonic 06
Level: Dusty Desert; Shadow
Purpose: Cut off at least 1 minute of Dusty Desert.
Suggested: For returning players.

So in the first part of Shadow's level, he starts in this hover-vehicle thing. In order to proceed, he has to pass through a pair pillars that rise up, and then the ones after that and so forth. This eats up about 1 minute and 42 seconds--without missing any pillars or dying.

To instead finish this area between 30 seconds and 1 minute, stat by driving to the right, completely ignoring the pillars (but get the 3 rings you'll want them). Turn left slightly, and you should see an oasis (palms, water). Head in that direction. It is okay to take damage but try not to turn over (and die). Keep going until you see the entrance (the "door" will not be opened).

  1. Ram into it/the area around it. 
  2. Let the flying monsters (whatever they are) destroy your vehicle. 
There is a small area where Shadow can stand, here. Stay close to the entrance or he will fall in the sand. Next carefully take out the enemies (unless you are familiar/comfortable with the "Wall Jump Glitch"). Two or three constantly appear, so only take out the ones near you. Now pick a corner of the "door" and preform the "Wall Jump Glitch."

  1. Jump against the corner. 
  2. Immediately press pause. 
Try to press it right as he jumps, and try to jump "though" the door. Be careful not to press "Start Over" by mistake. This will likely take multiple attempts.  

Once this is done properly, Shadow will jump into the "tunnel" and the second part of the zone will load. It may take some practice, but can usually take about 40 seconds instead of the 1:40. A lot of this is reliant on 1-the speed of destroying the hover vehicle and 2-the speed of the wall jump glitch. If you haven't gotten it by past 1 minute, you mind as well start over. 

Combined with other glitches, Shadow can finish Dusty Desert in less than 4 minutes.
