Version Differences
Version differences listed below can have an effect on speedrunning the game.
Scholarship Edition Mission Exclusives: Scholarship Edition features additional (Christmas) missions to the game resulting in a longer play-time and a different route than in classic. However, the route is only slightly different for Chapter 3. The anniversary edition includes all bonus content from the scholarship edition.
Loading Times: The PC has the fastest loading times out of all the ports, followed by the PS3 version. The PS4 version has the same loading times as the PS2 version (as its a perfect emulation copy). The xbox 360 has very long loading screens. Note that loading times have no effect on the in-game time.
Consumo High-score: The high score for this game, in Bully and Scholarship Edition is 1010 lbs, but is only 800 in Anniversary Edition.
Running Shorts: In Bully Anniversary and Scholarship Edition the running shorts unlocks by running 100 km. However, in Classic the running shorts unlocks at 41.84kms (or 26 miles).
Clipping OoB with trash cans: When jumping out of trash-cans and simultaneously moving the camera controls, Jimmy can end up within walls of the school etc. By doing so, you can access parts of the world map earlier then intended or use it to do a knock-out warp. However, trash can clipping can only be done on the xbox or PC version. Furthermore, many cans have been patched on PC that would otherwise be useful.
Movement Sensitivity: On PC, the mouse has the fastest sensitivity out of all the ports and can be adjusted with a mouse's DPI. You can use an Xbox 360 controller on the PC version, however there is a set sensitivity with no way to adjust. Xbox 360 on console is much faster compared to using the same controller to play on PC, but slower than PC in regards to aiming.
Boxing Glitch (PC Only): There are two buttons available to box on the PC version. The second button on PC has a bug that when you spam that button, the boxers may not punch back, allowing for easier boxing than any other port.
Tagging Glitch (PC Widescreen Only): Switching to widescreen mode in game options causes a bug where once you lay down a tag on a wall, it will fade away and allow you to retag the same spot, just seconds after spraying it in the first place. (Used in the mission 'Tagging'.) This same glitch can be used to obtain ~$1000 during the same mission (is very useful when doing a 100% speedrun).
Garage Door Opening Speed: Opening garage doors on the PC version is faster than any other port as it requires less button inputs. During dodgeball, the amount of button inputs to obtain the ball is less on PC than on console.
Speed Run Strategies
General Tips
Faster Movement: While moving always sprint (as Jimmy's stamina is infinite) or use the skateboard if no bike is available. A bike can be purchased, from the bike shop, as soon as Chapter 2 starts and is accessible at every garage.
Cutscene Skipping: Cutscenes should be skipped as soon as possible as they add onto the in-game timer. Most cutscenes can be skipped by tapping or holding down the interaction button.
Busted Warping: Getting busted by police/prefect can be used to teleport to nearby class or to the principle office/police station, saving time traveling on foot. Note that after getting busted a second time by a prefect (outside of class hours) will result into getting a detention. Also, getting busted during a mission will fail it.
Negating Fall Damage: Fall damage can be negated if you have the skateboard equipped.
Knockout Warping: Knocking self out intentionally, by using fire-crackers, can be used to teleport to the nearest infirmary, saving time traveling on foot.
First Person Mode/Scope Mode: Pressing the up button (on PC) or up on the D-Pad switches Jimmy to the first person mode. If the slingshot is equipped then sniper mode can be used to 'headshot' opponents for higher damage than normal.
