This is a glitch that I have been meaning to upload a video of for a long time, but somehow managed to put it off until now.

The menu in this game can be opened by either using buttons or the touch screen. However, the touch screen button can be held to delay the menu from opening until released, while at the same time putting the player into a kind of semi paused state. This also allows the player to "drift" for a bit before they are forced to stop moving by the button being held, which means thin cutscene triggers can be bypassed.

Although there aren't very many triggers throughout the game that are thin enough to drift through, the ones I managed to get past are seen in this video.
