The '''speed glitch''' is an extremely easy glitch to perform, but a difficult one to master.
==How it works==
To move, you normally hold the directional buttons or the Left analog stick, and you walk or run in that direction. However, if instead of holding the DPAD/analog to move, you repeatedly tap the analog stick in the desired direction, you will gain a higher amount of speed.

For example, if you wanted to move forward using the speed glitch, instead of just holding forward, you would repeatedly tap it. This will allow you to increase your forward momentum.
{{Notebox|There's a limit to the speed that you can gain with this glitch.}}
===Autofire===

The glitch is tiring to perform, and to avoid physical issues, the [[speedrunning]] community decided to allow the usage of a tool to automate the tapping of the analog stick.

Using the autofire trick is not mandatory. To use it, you need to install ''Joy2Key'' and configure it:

# Go to the [https://www.speedrun.com/medievil/resources/eh4vb resources on Speedrun.com] and download the file. Unzip it, and set it aside. This is the preset profile for the glitch. You will need it shortly.
# Download [https://joytokey.net/en/ ''Joy2Key''] and start it.
# Go to File > Open config data folder
# Copy the <code>.cfg</code> file that you downloaded in step 1 and paste it in the folder that you just opened.
# Restart Joy2Key and then select the newly added profile.
# Start ''MediEvil'' on ePSXe and enter any level.
# Press and hold {{B|L1}}. If [[Sir Daniel Fortesque|Sir Dan]] starts running, you configured everything correctly.
# If nothing happens, follow [https://www.speedrun.com/medievil/guides/gsfy7 this guide] to remap your controller with ''Joy2Key''.

==How it is used==
In the first ''MediEvil'', this glitch is normally used until you gain the [[The Daring Dash|Daring Dash]] ability in the [[Return to the Graveyard]] level. Once you do, dashing is better than using the speed glitch.

There is no known way to use the glitch to skip sections of the game or clip through walls.
