Oni Island Floor 1 Skip

Explanation

In NG+, it is possible to skip nearly the entirety of the interior Floor 1 of Oni Island after performing Early Thunderstorm. After the Thunderstorm tutorial, turn around and go into floor 1 through the entrance one would normally be coming out of before first seeing the Gekigami statue. Go to the wider part of the hall with the chest and bamboo traps, then KT over the wall to the right and directly into the loading zone for the side-scroller segment, without falling into the room with the eye switches.
