  1. Exiting Certain Stages/Bosses More Than Once:
  2. Exiting a stage or boss with an untimed intro-level cutscene (like Aquatic Mine or Security Hall) to gain an advantage in a run is allowed, but only once per stage.
  3.  
  4. Exit Out Re-Rolling:
  5. Exiting out during a hunting category in order to re-roll while staying in the 1024. This excludes good faith exits such as running out of lives or entering the wrong stage.
  6.  
  7. Chao Key Glitch:
  8. If the Chao Key is picked up when the camera is a significant enough distance away, you may be warped elsewhere upon completing the stage. This can be manipulated by completing certain stages to set in-game variables to the desired value.
  9.  
  10. Wrong Warps:
  11. Any other action that takes you to an unintended stage. This includes the Route 101/Route 280 warps.
  12.  
  13. The “All Stories” Rule:
  14. When doing an All Stories Run, one may enter into their second story with more than 4 lives. This is allowed, but you may not go below 4 lives less than what you started with (as in you would have game overed had you entered with 4 lives). This only invalidates the 2nd story as an individual submission and not the All Stories run.
  15.  
  16. RNG Predict:
  17. Using math to predict where you are in the 1024-frame Global Frame Counter cycle to assist with the completion of Treasure Hunting stages.
  18.  
  19. VMU Jacking:
  20. Removing the VMU while loading a save from said VMU
