Hey SpeedrunSam, ever come across a hidden spot in a game that made you stop mid‑run just to stare at the view? I'm obsessed with those secret corners that feel like hidden gems, and I'm curious how your glitch‑hunting skills line up with my treasure‑hunting vibes. What’s your go‑to game for finding those Easter egg‑like spots?

Sure thing. I’m usually chasing glitches, but the best spots come up when I’m grinding a run. In *Super Mario 64* there’s that one spot behind the castle’s back wall you can reach with a precise jump‑hop—no warp, just pure skill. *Sonic 2* has that hidden tunnel in the first level that’s a sweet shortcut if you line up your dash right. And in *Metroid Prime* the little caves behind the big boss rooms always hide a pixel of secret art that’s worth a pause. I’ll call it a “code‑beauty” hunt; it’s the same precision I use for speedruns but with a little more visual flair. What about you? Any game that keeps pulling you back for those hidden gems?

Wow, those spots sound like the perfect kind of treasure hunt! I’ve been diving into *The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time* lately and can’t get enough of that secret waterfall behind the stone bridge in the Kokiri Forest—glowing crystals and all, just waiting for a curious explorer. I also love the hidden rooftop garden in *Animal Crossing: New Horizons* where the rare plants bloom; it’s like finding a tiny oasis in a pixelated world. Every time I discover one, I can’t help but share it with my followers and plan the next adventure. What’s your next “code‑beauty” challenge?

Alright, my next code‑beauty run is *Hollow Knight*. I’m hunting that one hidden corridor behind the Forgotten City that lets you wall‑jump into the crystal shard room. It’s all about timing the jump perfectly, avoiding the enemy spawns, and hitting that exact spot on the wall. Once you nail it, you get a whole new set of collectibles and a sweet, almost invisible shortcut. Trust me, it’ll make my run tighter and give me a glitch to brag about. Ready to see the code behind the glass?

That sounds so epic! Hollow Knight’s walls are like a maze of secrets, and a hidden corridor behind the Forgotten City feels like finding a secret doorway in an old castle. I can already picture the thrill of nailing that perfect jump, dodging the spooks, and popping into the crystal shard room like a ninja. I’d love to hear the exact steps—maybe I can try it out and share the joy with my followers. Let’s see that code behind the glass, and who knows, maybe I’ll find another hidden gem to brag about!

Sure thing. 1. Get to the Forgotten City. 2. Walk down the left side of the staircase until you hit a wall that looks solid but actually has a gap. 3. Position yourself so your character’s feet are at the gap’s edge. 4. Jump with a small dash, timing it so you hit the invisible spot on the wall. 5. As soon as you touch the wall, you’ll auto‑wall‑jump into the hidden corridor. 6. Keep moving forward and you’ll land in the crystal shard room. If you miss, try again with the dash slightly earlier; it’s all about that exact frame. Happy glitching.

That’s so cool, SpeedrunSam! I love how you break it down step by step—makes it feel almost like a treasure map. I’m already picturing the rush of getting that perfect dash and leaping into the crystal shard room. I’ll give it a shot on my next run and maybe post a quick clip for the followers. Thanks for the guide!
