So I just experimented and managed to accomplish this, wonder if this is already a long known thing?

Jigsaw Valley Level Skip
You can also skip half of Emerald Axis 2 with a 5 star driver
I found this out, you might even be able to skip the whole thing
I actually posted some screenshots a year or two back, though I can't find that thread anymore.
Neat little trick if you're rushing, though.
So now that you have posted of the exploit, Three Rings might patch it.
Funny, I was trying to do this the other day but gave up after failing so much. Nice to know it can be done :x
Cool :)
There are a bunch of things like this in the game. The green levels are too awesome to rush through though, but still a neat trick!
Oh! Silly me, was doing a mission so I dont know what this level is called.
I use the same trick to open boxes behind energy gates, so I could see the drops before spending energy.
i check energy gates either with my pulsar line, or with an alchmer. thanks for the info about the level skip.. help with speedrunning to places.
Back in preview we used to use the RSS bullets to pierce though the indestructible block (there was only 1 row blocking the ghost block at the time, unlike now where 2 rows of indestructs block it). I don't think it was abused as much as we would think it would be because skipping that level meant wasting the 10 mist that you slowly get for free. Fun to see that there's still a way to skip the level though.
I've known about this for years, didn't rly care about it, is good to know that it is finally out in the public. Always wondered if it is considered abusing the mechanics...
Is a good way to farm minerals and lockboxes, though.
Still, you get no crowns (i'm not counting the ones at the end)
This is pretty cool. Can you do the level backwards though?
You can't, there are gates on both sides, and u need to go the normal way in order to push the buttons that open them.
@Eugothy: You are forgetting the 4 leaves, there could even be 200cr under them!!!! XD
I was wondering when someone was going to bring this up on the forums. Yes it has been around for quite some time now.
