The player’s icon visually passes directly through a solid obstacle—a spike or a block—yet survives. To an outside observer, it appears as magic: the player should have died, but the game’s own logic briefly failed, granting them a momentary ghost state. Speedrunners and top-tier players sometimes exploit this, learning the exact frame-perfect angles required to noclip through an otherwise impossible jump, effectively creating a new, hidden path.

This is the controversial side. Some players use noclip to record themselves "beating" an impossible level and post it online, pretending it was a legitimate achievement. This is widely looked down upon (and usually easily spotted by the community). The most common form of noclip occurs when
