Speed Glitch
Sitting in the chair (above), then equipping an Effect will cause the player to double their speed upon getting up. Although Madotsuki will appear as her normal sprite (until going to an 8-bit map), her effect will be active. The bicycle is the most commonly used effect for this, which more than quadruples her speed. The Speed Glitch is an oversight caused by allowing the player to use the menu in the chair.
Optional Effect: Madotsuki will sit if 1 is pressed, but the other effect will try to happen as well. (e.g. with the bike, the bell will also ring.)
Involuntary Effect: Madotsuki's speed increases dramatically + any other involuntary effects associated with used Effect.
