Bridge Blast is a glitch that is considered to be the theoretical endgame for the Any% category of Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, apart from ACE (arbitrary code execution). During the glitch, Jak is able to use wooden planks on a bridge to travel extremely far distances in a single frame.
Technical
By using checkpoint bypasses while out of bounds, Jak can enter Forbidden Jungle so that Sandover Village is the active level. This, plus the use of a pause cutscene trigger via the Forbidden Jungle mirrors, allows Jak to start the fisherman minigame in a way that triggers ramdisk loading lag, which lags the game to less than 1 frame per second. Over time, this lag begins to disrupt the physics of the bridge above. The wooden planks begin to dramatically stretch, reaching distances far outside of the game's intended range. If Jak is positioned correctly, these planks can make contact with him and carry Jak along for the ride as they stretch.
Bridge Blast can only be performed on an SCPH-39001 model PlayStation 2 or the PCSX2 emulator.
