does any other game than skyward sword have a speedrun that involves using glitches to mess with the way the game saves and loads data?

@Felthry I recall that in quicksave/quickload could cause position displacement which was useful in Portal speedruns.

@starkatt I forgot about quicksaves entirely, I think a lot of games have problems with those!

@Felthry @starkatt Pokemon Red and Blue also have a TAS (possibly also an Any%) speedrun that requires direct memory editing through shop use

@lorxus @starkatt yeah, but i'm thinking about specifically messing with the saving and loading process
