How Speedrunners Solved Billy Hatcher's Impossible Skip

Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg's speedrun is no stranger to difficult skips. Many parts of the run will end a speedrun however one skip in particular stands out amongst the rest due to it's sheer difficulty. This strategy was once thought to be impossible and the level that it took place in was deemed as the hardest level in the game. This is the history of that trick and the impact it had on an entire community.
