20 Glitches That EASILY Unlock Difficult Trophies

Shovel Knight's tight level design encourages players to master jumps and attacks with pinpoint precision. Having said that, the room transitions leave plenty of space for creative exploitation.

While entering a new room, the game performs a screen transition, which was commonplace for the 8-bit games that Shovel Knight emulates. By moving or leaping at odd angles while a room transitions to another, players might land in a spot they're not supposed to be in. The game can get confused when this occurs and so, launches players past intended sequences or out-of-bounds areas to correct itself.

These glitches dramatically reshape the structure of a run, especially if players intend to beat the campaign in under 90 minutes to procure the Hurry Up! Trophy. Depending on the circumstances, it's possible to skip multiple rooms at once, making the most arduous levels seem trivial. 

This tactic is also handy for zipping by auto-scrolling sections, since there's no conventional way to speed through these areas. 

If players are lucky, they can be shoved to the end room during a screen transition, letting them beat the level in record time.
