Guide to Prince of Persia tricks (Large Topic)

[Jakim]

Not really a trick, rather technique but I couldn't see it earlier (I haven't read entire topic).

As shown by yaqxsw here:



The trick is in turning around at the right time, which prevents the prince from being chomped/hit by a tile.

This is a cool trick I've just discovered. It's easy to do and allows you to skip as many gates as you want!
Easier than this and this, for example.
With this trick, we can skip sections of certain levels of mods that are already out here.

Go as left as you can, press up, then left.
It is possible to jump through a wall or a door-top in the same way.
Trick 7 is the same thing, but it shows a more difficult way.
Trick 37 also seems similar, except it has a chomper instead of the open gate.

It is possible to jump through a wall or a door-top in the same way.

Yes, it also works with those.
I've updated the video to reflect those findings.
(A page reload may be necessary for the video and its thumbnail to change, or even a reload of the actual video.)

Trick 37 also seems similar, except it has a chomper instead of the open gate.

With the room layout used for trick 37 - with the chomper, this trick doesn't work.

As shown by trick master yaqxsw here:



Jumping from the loose tile gives the prince just that little extra to jump over that second loose tile.

There was a trick to activate switches and things from behind a gate (GT; Gate, Trigger), I don't recall how to do it though, trying to figure it out again... If anyone remembers how to do that, please post here. Or for that matter any trick that isn't listed here.

I remember seeing a video of this trick done in the first room of the original level 10, but I can't find it.
However, I know how to do it:
Go as right as you can, then bump into the door to move away from it. Turn left. Turn right, press right again, and immediately press left.

Yeah, that one is pretty cool.

There's actually no need for the "press right again", which makes it easier to pull off.
Just keep the arrow key down and press the opposite arrow key at the right time.

This is the same bug that can be used on level 12: http://www.popot.org/documentation.php?doc=OverflowBug

It's already included here

If you find other usages of this overflow bug, let me know.

I tried something similar on level 1 of the Mini underground mod.
Except: After climbing up, I didn't step to the edge. Instead I pressed Esc until the chomper closed, and then twice.
Unfortunately my method seems to work only if there is a wall under the ledge. So I couldn't jump away from the second chomper in that mod.
