My favorite speedrun-related exploit would have to be in the puzzle platformer Forward to The Sky.
It was discovered shortly after the game's release that there is an undocumented speed button. Presumably used for level testing, if you hold the Z key whole moving forward then you will walk noticeably faster.
The game also defaults to WASD, but keeps the same key positions if you change keyboard layout, except that the speed button stays as Z. When you change your keyboard from QWERTY to AZERTY, the "walk forward" button is then double bound with the speed button, making you passively move a lot faster. It is now commonly understood that, if you want to speedrun Forward To The Sky, you have to use AZERTY to be competitive.
This makes Forward To The Sky the only sport other than fencing where being French gives you an unfair competitive advantage.
@Dio9sys Meanwhile, in the Trackmania community, being French gives you a handicap, at least for mapping. French maps are known to be... well, put it this way, "French" is its own style of mapping, next to Fullspeed, Tech, RPG, etc.
