Are you 100% sure that it won't be possible to save if done correctly?

Using the only known way of playing the intro, it's impossible to save. A new method would need to be found in order for saving to work and this method would need to be console tested since emulators can do whacky things with save files.

While in BiT mode if you kill yourself on console the game doesn't crash (my idea and Abahbob tested it) -- making it possible to reach "The End" screen. I still don't know if I like the idea of beating the game when it isn't on a save file.

I still don't think the lack of saving the game would be frowned upon at all. It's the weird things like BiT that makes glitched out TASes entertaining, after all. If this glitch is crazy enough to skip almost everything, then it could be considered for the "glitched" category instead of "any%," even if an any% run doesn't exist yet.

It's not. It would let you save like 18 extra jiggies (no need to pay for MMM or FP) and skip learning moves from Bottles. Following along the any% route, this would mean: SM -> back in time thing - > MMM -> hit water level switch -> MM -> TTC -> BGS -> FP -> CCW -> Reverse Bee Adventure -> CC -> GV -> RBB -> Furnace Fun -> end of the game 25 jiggies for any%, 23 jiggies for low% (you'd do BGS instead of CC) -- still 810 notes. I am strongly against including this. It's a time vs. entertainment tradeoff and shouldn't be included. The Banjo speedrunning community of SRL/SDA are very interested in gametime of this new any%, and this glitch where you beat the game through the intro screen doesn't allow for that.

So you're saying that BiF doesn't save time? If that's so, it's a pity. Oh well.

I don't want this glitch in this game. It's stupid bullshit..

Actually this only saves 8 additional jiggies -- in order to press the water switch as pumpkin you need to have the gate outside of MMM open. Meaning you'd need to enter it twice. In addition, you'd have to sit through a lot of cutscenes (opening cutscene, first cutscene of Grunty's Lair potentially, potentially the gameover screen, the intro screen twice, and the demo up to MMM).

If BiT isn't as interesting to watch, or has other problems, you can just categorise it out in your submission. (It'd make the run ineligible for the Vault, but that's OK, because it should be entertaining enough to be accepted in the main category.)

you know, it shouldn’t be that hard to do a RAM search for the game timer’s value and just write in the description of the movie what the final time is; it’s not like you need a graphic in the game to tell you your time when you have things like TAS edit: I think I misunderstood you, you meant that since the RTA community won’t be using the glitch, they don’t want TAS to use it either so they can compare?

Ok, so I looked into this a lot over the past week or so along with r0bd0g, RingRush, and abahbob. Basically we think it was either hardware error (cartridge tilting, failure to reset a certain variable, etc.) or cheated/faked. Lots of the details in the persons' story don't line up with what actually happened (he said he was never in Spiral Mountain, but then he said he was; claimed he reset during a cutscene then changed it to during the gameover cutscene then said maybe he didn't reset; when the console crashed it took him a very long time to reset the console -- enough to remove a Gameshark cheating device). With the L to Levitate code it would have been as simple as holding L (which he claimed to be doing lol) and then letting go when you were high enough in MMM to take enough fall damage to kill yourself. There are dozens of videos showing exactly this on YouTube. I believe this is what happened. Does this mean BiT doesn't exist w/o cheats or hardware malfunction? No -- I have a solid lead on finding it in Rusty Bucket Bay's intro demo. However, I don't think what occurred to the person the other day was a glitch that can be replicated. -- In other news, I found a new way to clip in Banjo-Kazooie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hsbo_H5U7ZA It's probably possible in other places and might lead to a 765 note door skip.

I found this a while ago but decided to make a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Id-0bCUXPHY I believe it's possible in other places and it might lead to an 810 note door skip if done off the cauldron at the right time (see the video's description for more info). I've sent the movie file for this to the people working on the any% tas with me, but here it is for anyone else who wants to check it out in MHS or whatever: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/118290/blt.rar I also found that the clip through the Twinkly box works in Gobi's Valley off Gobi: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_GgOJcFZss I was able to retain flight once, but accidentally went back in bounds. This is extremely difficult and took thousands of attempts. It means you can get blue egg without cheats.

13k re-records for ~2 mins 42 seconds of gameplay? This run is going to be AWESOME.

Damn, where was this guy 3 years ago? All these glitches are bad ass. Keep up the good work, looking forward to further progress in the any% run.

Yes. Also, so this post is on topic there's a new way to oob warp in CCW. I will wait a little bit before making a video in case I find any other clips -- trying to do compilation videos now since there are so many.

I made a video of that clip I mentioned: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFMHaW3YJMI It's incredibly precise so I think it might have something to do with BK's model's angle while edge clipping or maybe even how zoomed out the camera is. That sounds silly, but the camera has been known to affect the precision of Banjo's z-position (if you look down while in first person on a honeycomb box you slide, if you got to first person while termite you move like 4 pixels down, etc.). Anyway, this has inspired me to look over some other things I've tested to see if I can get them to work trying various angles and camera positions. Also, I made save states in mupen after getting RBA (reverse bee adventure - escaping CCW lobby as bee to enter worlds without paying). Let me (or anyone on the TAS team) know and we can send them to you.

That list above of jiggies to get looks great, though there are 2 bullet points for Grunty's Lair :P

While going into / out of 1st person might trigger some odd Z-axis positioning or physics of the character, normally changing the 3rd person camera distance can change the LOD (Level of Detail) in 3D models, but that generally has nothing to do with collision and only to do with rendering. And on the subject of CCW clips, would getting bashed through the nest by Eyrie falling asleep help with anything if it were incorporated into a route? I'm guessing no, but throwing it out there anyway.

All the sudden recent activity in this thread got my attention, so I just went through your YouTube channel, Cronikeys. And holy crap, I'm enjoying watching this game being torn apart glitch by glitch. Keep it up!
