 ==How Tweaking Works==
-For tweaking to work, it must be preformed at the "load lines" of these 32x32 tile sections. The load lines are found vertically and horizontally between the 16th and 17th step of every section. Upon crossing a load line, the game will immediately load the next section your character is approaching. Tweaking is, in essence, simply crossing over the load lines so quickly that the game overloads from the loading of multiple incoming sections. This is done at the intersection of a vertical and horizontal load line as it creates a place where 4 different sections load at the same place, making overload possible. Using a bicycle in 4th gear makes it easier to cause an overload because your character is able to load more sections in a shorter period of time. However, 3rd gear and even running may also create tweaking results.

 The distorted result of tweaking itself can be corrected by taking 17 or more steps away from the distorted section. At this point, the section will unload from the game's RAM and reload normally once it is approached again. Therefore, tweaking itself is almost completely harmless to the game.
