| + | A '''trick''' is anything that you use to save time or improve your score etc.. A '''shortcut''' in a racing game counts as a trick. A trick becomes a '''technique''' when you find you can use it in multiple different locations. A '''bug''' is when something happens in the game which shouldn't really happen. A '''glitch''' is when something happens which ''really shouldn't'' happen. Of course, this is all splitting hairs, because luckily Speedrunwiki doesn't sort meticulously sort tricks by how allowable they are. |
