Tutorial

Technical

When Jak and Flut Flut pass through the Volcanic Crater checkpoint during Gondola Skip, Volcanic Crater is made the active zone. Snowy Mountain is still loaded in, just in the secondary level loader. This causes Flut Flut to "turn invisible" when falling down into Volcanic Crater.

Discovery

Gondola Skip was discovered by blahpy on October 25, 2014.

The on-foot method was discovered by Goofy on April 5, 2020.

Other Notes

The original Flut Flut Gondola skip by blahpy likely was not implemented because it didn't save time and/or was difficult, due to the general lack of knowledge about having Flut Flut out of Snowy. (October 25, 2014)

Not long after, blahpy found it was possible to simply jump over the death plane, which was demonstrated in a video by Jazz. (November 19, 2014)

Eventually world record implementation came in both Any% & 100% by thesxysaxman in late 2015 after it was found you could land in the Miner's cave by Ouiji, upping the time save significantly from previous methods. (July 30, 2015 & August 7, 2015)

Goofy first found a much more difficult method for on-foot gondola skip, before quickly replacing it with the current on-foot method. (April 5, 2020)
