This is one of the best rooms in the game for Keith to get stuck in various places trying to catch up to Sonny.

Keith, you are too clingy!

Sonny can walk outside the bounds of the screen with Keith following (Easiest way is to the left just behind where you push the crossing button). In some areas of the screen it is possible to escape via wiggling the directional buttons.

  • It's possible to perform the Cocklock up against the pole in the southwest corner of the screen and clip inside this. If this happens, then there is no way out.

  • In J1.000.052, Keith's behavior was adjusted so he follows Sonny at a greater distance, preventing this from happening. Whether it's another 'cultural' adjustment, like at Arnie's, a coincidence or they knew about the problem, it is resolved.

Keith! Give me your transporter gadget!

Upon entering the screen from the bottom-right corner, Keith will appear on the other side of the road and walk across the road towards the player.

Curiously, the taxi is never around when Keith wants to cross.

Sonny can talk to the flower girl from any point on the screen once she has stopped. He can also buy flowers from the flower girl.

  • If Sonny buys a flower from her while a certain distance away (y*axis, mainly), she will turn to walk away, then stop and do nothing. She does not even leave the screen.

  • In J1.000.052, You have to be close to purchase something.

On either side of the map is the ability to clip out of the room and stay out. The player's y-position can also be moved, despite getting the non-stop text popups that will allow the player to escape.

Be careful if Keith is around the player, since he can trap Sonny outside the bounds.

Easily one of the most difficult glitches in the game. It's possible to skip pressing the traffic light button and get pass the taxi that's supposed to kill Sonny.

This is performed by moving up to spawn the taxi and moving back into the safe zone. Then just as the taxi is about to pass Sonny, start alternating diagonal left and right on the numpad. From looking at the game's code, we can infer Sonny is able to move through the back of the first taxi due to hits only being registered on the front half of the car. The second taxi is avoided cause wiggling allows Sonny to move JUST fast enough to cause a y-coordinate range check to fail, making it unable to squish him.

  • This is EXTREMELY precise in both the start timing and the rhythm needed with alternating the movement keys. It may take several tries to pull off.

  • It is possible to do from both bottom to top and top to bottom, though the latter appears to be much more difficult.

  • This glitch is not possible in J1.000.062 onwards, as Sonny does not move any faster while wiggling and cannot outrun the second taxi as a result.

  • Using this strategy skips having to use the bottom light pole button, saving a single point in the minimum score route.

The box that checks how close Sonny must be to push the button to cross the road is generously large.

OK. I have mucho paperwork to finish.
