OK, if we're going to do errors here, I have a mighty fun one for you to do.

Whats the problem?

Hmm, well...
Lets just say we can screw up viridian's bounding box, and that it does pose a problem because of where it is =).

Step 1: Make a quicksave in the gravitron, keeping your character in the middle of the gravitron (or maybe the right side) when you save it.

Step 2: Load the save, watch the gravitron start, but also watch your character fall backwards into the rooms before it.
Somehow this screws up Viridian's collision bounding box, which causes him to be "thinner", which lets him fit perfectly through that hole in the very top of the map

Step 3: Walk through the hole.  You reach the 4-directional wrapping room of "Outer Space"!

Step 4: ????

Step 5: Profit!

after you fall down into outer space, there is no real return that I know of...


BUT HMM
Interesting is that if you go back into the gravitron, and restart it, you can of course do the entire thing through..... but also, after you finish it, you teleport back, and can explore the world this way... *wonders if there are any other thin spaces with which to use this trick*

Buuut also, I think the bounding box was teleported out to the far right side of the screen... as to create a second copy of the character out there instead (for gravitron purposes?)... so if you go into any room that has an exit on the left side, and no opening on the right side, you will get stuck.

While trying to get a V rank on Space Station 1 (I have it down to all trinkets, under par and 1 stinking death on Trench Warfare), I flipped at the wrong time on Trench Warfare and the platform went through Viridian's head, passing behind his eyes, until it passed him and he died above.

As far as the bounding box bug, that gives me a sneaking suspicion that Terry changes it in the Gravitron to make it easier for us ... hmm ...

EDIT: Found a minor discrepancy. The Super Gravitron sign at first calls it the "Super-Gravitron," then "Super Gravitron" like everywhere else.

EDIT 2: While doing a Warp Zone time trial, I flipped out of This is how it is and somehow ended up in a red room, where I promptly restarted the level (maybe I died, I can't remember). At first I thought it was Take the Red Pill, but under further examination of the map, it might have been That's Why I Have to Kill You, making this a HUGE potential shortcut. I wasn't able to reproduce it, though.

Also, doing a Tower time trial with Flip Mode on results in music glitches.
