Exit Oni Island
Note: This page describes a glitch, trick, or exploit. To see others, click here.
Explanation
By KTing over the cutscene trigger where Issun turns you back, you can leave Oni Island and go back to North Ryoshima Coast.
Effects
When back in North Ryoshima Coast all the triggers that are in place to make sure you go to Oni Island are still there and you can't use the normal Origin Mirror or the Mermaid Spring to warp out. You can however KT up to the Rocky Area to warp out since it was not expected that you could reach there.
Uses
In NG+ Any% if you combine this with Double Jump Early and Ship Clip you can save 3 minutes in the NG+ Any% Speedrun.
Possible uses
Sadly this can't be used in NG+ All Brushes since it would lock you out of getting Gimmick Gear. The third Ida race only starts after you've defeated Ninetails.
