Loved the "dynamite in the bottom corner" floor glitch. Only way I ever got down low enough to have a chance.... Never made it out alive during my 100s of attempts in childhood. Hoping to break the curse tonight. Happy trash digging, everyone!

Yep! Also, can climb. IIRC, you can do the same with opened crates. Lots of way to cheat!
