In 2008, a Flash development company called Nitrome released Toxic 2, a 2D platformer that was a huge step up from its predecessor in almost every way. As it turns out, this game came bundled with a plethora of glitches and exploits that would be uncovered and utilized by speedrunners a decade later. This is the story of how just three speedrunners turned Toxic 2's walls into liquid to collectively set 40 Any% world records in the game.
