It's most definitely a very fun glitch.
But is there any use for it, though? I can't imagine it being useful anywhere, due to its intricate setup.

<adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.
I discovered this glitch around 2006 I think :)
I noticed that when chuckya grabs you in water you can briefly control an invisible mario, if you grab chuckya while controlling this invisible mario you end up invisible and you can drop chuckya as long as the game has 'unloaded' the mario and chuckya model (ie. you are far enough away)
Eru has achieved the same result by having chuckya grab mario then using BLJ speed to move far enough away from it so the models are unloaded. Notice Mario reappears when he gets near the start of the level.

using my method you can pretty much do the trick anywhere with chuckya and water (WDW, THI and TTM). Think I have some old videos of this, I might dig them out and put them on youtube.
I doubt this trick will be that useful to speed runners since you don't gain any advantage, you're just controlling an invisible version of normal mario. It's fun to see though, and you never know what tricks might evolve from it!
astral projection is a much better name, surprising coming from a Japanese XD
I didn’t know about this, and Arua’s vids are really cool
also thanks to Dom for the explanation, I needed that lol

It's the same run. It used to be on Mickey's previous account before he deleted it. However, Mickey has stated (in the comments) that now, 22 stars can be collected from power on with no "A" button.

There's a 1 star submission without BLJ. Apparently, 0 stars is impossible without BLJ.

is that really such a strict rule? there’s at least 1 movie up that doesn’t beat the game, but just because the game isn’t finished… (that kayak thing)
@SP: is Chip Off Whomp's Block one of them (and by consequence the next one)? if not, what are they?
