Keen2 flaw/bug - how to skip "WA" level (mostly)

[Benvolio]

Apologies if this is already well-documented but... go to the top-left level on the Vorticon Mothership, i.e. the non-tantalus level with 'WA' written in SGA beside it. [No idea what WA stands for].

Enter the level. You need four keys to exit the level.

Or... navigate straight to the zone at the right hand side of the level where the green key is guarded by four scrubs and two vortikids - do away with the vortikids, then, picking up the two cans en route, wait for the scrubs at the four doors and BAM straight to the exit, no questions asked!

Easier than trying to get that yellow key anyway!

So then do the scrubs shove you through locked doors then?

[Fleexy]

Don't get those cans! Some scrubs will walk on them and eventually meander over to that yellow key, at which time you will board and jump to the yellow key. Be a backstabber by killing the scrubs that just helped you and proceed to collect the remaining keys without trickery.

Nice, too bad it has no practical applicability in a speedrun.

Tried it, couldn't get it to work. Video?

this should work (i havent done a youtube video before).

on reflection, might help shave seconds off a speedrun.

Yeah Washington State crossed my mind - but there's no tantalus and that state doesnt feature in the story. People could confuse it with Washington DC?? Mysterious.

I remember seeing somewhere, I think on the old CC314, that WA was an abbreviation for "Weapons" or "Weaponry A", which would explain why the other arm is WB and why neither is equipped with a Tantalus Ray. (Plus having a separate non-Tantalus cannon for Washington State as well as Washington, D.C. would be kind of weird. )

Well yes, this would actually shave some time in an "All Levels" or a "100%" speedrun

This also works in this level:

Just gotta pogo by the door and he will push you through
