LucasGX Nah, not Yoshi's Island. I simply showed it off at the earliest possible time, but you need to best Yoshi's Island first and get the ball move to be able to progress. It does skip Gritzy Desert though. However we recently found out that a part of this glitch actually only works on emulator, for unknown reasons, thus making the skip invalid :( We haven't found an alternate way to make it work on console yet sadly.
I am looking for an alternative way to do that skip, and have gotten pretty close: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6f4t2ENbTT4 It would still be U-only but would probably work on console.
What happens when you try to leave the castle? Does it get you stuck inside the closed door, or will it magically open? Still, very nice trick! I hope more uses are found for it.
[16:36:31] <Mothrayas> I have to say this argument about robot drug usage is a lot more fun than whatever else we have been doing in the past two+ hours
[16:08:10] <BenLubar> a TAS is just the limit of a segmented speedrun as the segment length approaches zero
This saves another 35 minutes by skipping Gritzy Desert, the Koopaseum and Gritzy Caves, for about 1:30 saved total. https://youtube.com/watch?v=dQZPOhA5cqM
1. What versions should the run be done on now? 2. If you were to beat the game up to the UFO battle at the Princess Shroob statue, and then went back outside the castle to play the game's story "normally", would it allow you? 3. With every area before the desert out of the way, any more other potential skips? 4. How viable is it in real time? Not just the execution, but the final fights due to severe underleveled.
I finally started the new TAS recently, here is a WIP up to Swiggler: http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/44422930035638373 And here is the route I'm using: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1k-u6PkPxMxD1JaMfLsAbpgfl72WChrOf-RdJ_h2DEnM/pub
The area that Mario and Luigi are in is where the pipe is. The area that Baby Mario and Baby luigi are in has a top screen. I was curious if it was possible to somehow exploit the top screen located there to clip out of bounds, go to the area that Modern M and L are shown in and access the rightmost pipe, leading directly to the Shroob Statue bottom. Perhaps it is possible to do so without using TSS as the babies need to be on Mario and Luigi to enter the pipe which makes this harder, or maybe, it is just impossible in total. If possible, it would allow skipping the second area with the outside and the bookshelf area.
I will try and see if there's a clip possible for this, but I am also curious if you all think it is possible or not.
Also, congratulations on the TAS! I loved the commentary, and it was enjoyable to watch the game of my childhood be TAS in two hours. Was amazingI know this video is old, but i have another glitch. You know the scene where kylie koopa is fed to Petey Phirana, right? You're supposed to get there with mario and luigi with the new bros ball. I found an exploit in the physics that allows you to get there with the babies. The scene is also funny when you do that. I don't know if it's on virtual console, i did it on a cartridge. It doesn't break the game, it substitutes sprites and sounds for the cutscene.
