There's a shortcut you can take in the Cloud Ruins level of Little Nemo: The Dream Master for NES and it's so easy and simple that I'd call it brilliant. It's not exactly a glitch, but perhaps it can be categorized as an exploit.

Around the middle of the Cloud Ruins level, there's a large building with a friendly purple lizard on the roof. What you're SUPPOSED to do is tame the lizard with your candy and hitch a ride on him. Then, walk to the left, drop down and turn right to enter the building.

There are a few medium-tricky jumps here, but eventually you'll make your way to the bottom right of the structure, and you can ONLY crawl into the small gap if you're riding the lizard. Otherwise, you won't be able to proceed.

BUT INSTEAD what you can do is this: Give three candies to the lizard to tame him, then jump on his back. Immediately to the right of the lizard is a wall that has spikes at the top. Cling to the wall with the lizard, then walk STRAIGHT DOWN. You'll be able to clip right through the roof, then immediately hold UP AND RIGHT and you should fall onto the platform with the small gap.

I say hold UP AND RIGHT because often instead of landing directly on the platform, the lizard will be able to grab the wall immediately before the platform, and that's just as good. If you're holding down, though, you might drop off of that wall and die.

This trick skips the section with the house and the annoying jumps. It saves maybe 5 seconds in a speedrun, but like... that's great! And it's super easy to do and it avoids some annoying enemies.
