As soon as you get close to the area it loads, to make it seem like as if the entire place was loaded at once.

When you're in the distant, only some things are loaded properly.

When using the Groosenator, Press A and then B as fast as you can, you'll skip the bomb launching scene, and the bomb will still hit where you shot it.

You have invincibility when you backflip, so you'll never take damage while you're in a backflip from just about anything.
Hitting The Imprisoned is easy-modo.

Didn't fully read this thread, so not sure if known.
