Glitch Guides

These guides cover specific glitches used frequently in KotOR speedrunning, including detailed instructions and videos for performing the glitch. If you’re looking to polish up on a specific type of glitch, these are the guides for you.

Glitch guides are split into two types:

Major Glitches: These glitches are considered major due to their ability to either significantly sequence-break the game, or completely bypass the usual rules of normal gameplay (i.e., Fake Level Ups bypassing normal character construction rules). Major Glitches are only legal in the Unrestricted Ruleset.
Techniques: These glitches are not considered major; while they have useful effects, those effects are either minor or limited, so that they augment normal gameplay rather than bypass it completely. Techniques are legal in both the No Major Glitches and Unrestricted Rulesets.

	Major Glitches			Techniques
Anywhere Menu Glitch	Displaced Load Zone	Door Clipping	Combat Talking	Conversation Queue	Damage Stacking
Fake Level Up	Fast Lane		Force Skips	Gather Party Warp	Item Duplication
Hotshot	The Routine		Map Cutscene Skips	Save Buffering	Save Teleporting
				Wired Targeting
