EG Kick

An EG Kick is a trick that forces Link in-bounds from EG by visiting specific Supertiles on the EG Map. When Link enters a Supertile with a movable wall (ie. Desert Torches, Mire Torches, PoD Eye Statue) or a room with dynamic conveyor belts (ie. Mothula's Room, Ice Palace Conveyor Room), he will immediately be popped out of EG. This can be a useful way to access such rooms, but it can also be used to access rooms adjacent to those Supertiles on the EG Map.

Applications

PoD Dark Maze Kick

The relevant Supertiles for this trick. The player EGs to Bumper Beetles and enters Moth's tile to get kicked in-bounds to Dark Maze

This is a significant trick in many modern MG routes because of how quickly Hammer can be accessed from EG. Moth's Supertile is used to kick in-bounds one Supertile north, which is PoD's Dark Maze Room.

To execute the kick, the player needs to enter Moth's Supertile from the Bumper Beetle Supertile on one of 3 y-coordinates: 404-406. Then while in Moth's Supertile, press v to get snapped into the transition to PoD Dark Maze. The setups to get in the correct position vary based on the category and route.
