Keen Speedrunning Records Reloaded

It definetly is fake, because the Keen 6 tileset doesn't even have the mirror graphics.

I figured it was fake. But I've never ripped the graphics in Keen 6, so I wouldn't know.

EDIT: So then is that Keen 5 bug, (where you go from the first level to Korath III), also a hoax?

That Keen 5 bug is real, in 1.4 version (or 1.0, can't remember which one) shelleys can push you and when you enter a door while they do so it can mess something up and you end up in Korath.

True, it is fake.

I know this because:

There is no graphics for it in 4TIL0001.bmp
There are no extra TileInfo animations
That part of the level does not exist

My conclusion is: It's a hoax.

I realize that. But this guy got pushed off of a pole by a Little Ampton, and when he got to the end of the level, he warped to Korath.

That's what he said in his own comment. He also doesn't seem to know why that happens. One could try to reconstruct the same situation with different versions of Keen 5 and see if it works.

Okay. I can confirm this bug for Keen 5 version 1.0. I think it was fixed in 1.4, although I could be wrong.
It seems that the Little Ampton messes something up with Keen's height location or something, causing him to enter the exit door one tile too low.

EDIT: Also, maybe that Mirror hoax should be added somewhere in the KeenWiki? It's interesting. It's probably not common, but it's (supposedly) been mentioned by two different people.

Yes, that would work, adding new tiles. Ingenious in fact! I must do it in my own mod!

I still get surprised by how fast people can speedrun Keen... I've been playing Keen since before my own birth and I STILL think it's damn hard! Why is that?

Well, not a Keener, but she played! Not anymore though.
