Some notes about the glitch accreditations

Shrine Clips have a very deep history and probably deserve a video on their own. Gymnast, tka_niconico, Orcastraw, Kleric, Filofaxi, and Swiffy22 were all involved in the development of the glitch as it had a clear progression from its first discovery to its application for clipping into shrines early.

Whistle Sprinting was likely found by various people as it's not a hard glitch to pull off and multiple videos popped up around the same time. Zayloox was the earliest video we could find of an instance of it.

Stasis Launching is another with a bit of a progression, with patepote61 having the earliest video of a glitch resembling the Stasis Launch, and further work being done by TheChromaKid

Bullet Time Bounces were first posted by a group a Chinese runners in a compilation video, it was then proven out by LegendofLinkk
