As shown by Khushal64n6 at the end of this video, if entering a certain room (from above) loads the next level, like from 6 to 7 or 12a to 12b, suicide can be a solution.

Added a bunch of trick videos to popot.org:






There are still two tricks that I don't know how to do:

- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4_K4vbCwkY
I think the first one is very difficult. The second one is easy, but someone who can do it will need to describe in words what to do after sliding forward...

Hi Norbert, it's a bit difficult for me to explain how to do the second trick, i'll try. It's hard for me to do without pausing.
1-You can go at the border of the loose tile, then turn right, press up or down, turn left, and go left and immediatly keep down. Go left exactly in the second frame after the second shake of the loose tile. Now you can press down to fall, or jump throught the wall.
2-Very similar, the same but pressing down in the second frame after the second shake.

Hey, thanks, Zaknafein.
Because of your "Go left exactly in [...]" remark I understood what I had previously been doing wrong.
In the past, after sliding, I just kept the left arrow key down the whole time (all the time).
I now get the trick, and I've added it to popot.org, with the comment: "After sliding, let go of the left arrow key, wait, and then press it again."

I've kinda lost track of which tricks have already been mentioned in this thread, but I don't think these have been embedded yet:

This trick is used, for example, here:


As shown by Kaslghnoon in the second video here, also shown here, and useful for Trick of Through:


In the chat, yaqxsw suggested I'd add them.

I noticed this while playing the The Prince Mystery Dungeon mod:



This is similar to 49 but that one isn't possible when there's a wall to the left.
And of course similar to 93.
