Thought I should post my findings on the "Double-GF Glitch" and maybe some others can mess around with it some more to see if it would be useful anywhere. My findings have been unable to yield any positive results though. To perform this glitch you must be at the beginning of disc 3 about to head into the 4th Laguna Dream(The Ruby Dragon Fight) and the GF(s) you want to duplicate must be equipped to Squall. In the menu where you assign which character will be assigned to Kiros and Ward, before you leave the Menu, do a Junction Exchange with Squall and a character not participating in the Laguna Dream. When you get into the Laguna Dream, make sure to re-junction the GFs because Laguna and co. will not be junctioned at all for the Ruby Dragon Fight. When you finish the dream, The characters assigned to Laguna, Ward and Kiros will have the GF(s) junctioned to them during the dream, and the character you swapped with before the dream will also have the GF(s) that you swapped with him before you entered the dream. Why this works? - The Game Auto-Unjunctions your characters prior to the dream so that this trick could be used. When your inside the Laguna dream the game is only checking if Laguna, Kiros, or Ward are junctioned before it allows you to junction a GF to your character. So the game leaves Squall junction, allowing you to give his junctions to someone outside the dream before you go in. Research Needed? This trick would be very useful in a speedrun if you could manage to do it in the 5th and Final Laguna Dream because then you could have the GFs duplicated for the rest of the game. Unfortunately, all the methods I have tried have been unable to succeed and I think it has to do with the game wiping your characters GFs multiple times. If anyone can find a way to get it through the 5th Laguna Dream, I'd be extremely happy. Stuff Possible once you Double-GF. - You can summon him on both characters same time(His health will be @ the amount of the 2nd summoning) I.E. If he is killed on the 1st summon and the 2nd summon goes off, he will have the life of the 2nd summon attempt. - He does not get Double XP or Double AP - You can Have both characters junctioned with him to utilize the same ability.

I logged in just to say a Cave Story pacifist run would be awesome. I wish good luck to anybody who wants to try! (I tried myself to make a real-time pacifist run, it was so hard I couldn't get past Grasstown!)
As much as I like NBA Jam TE, NBA Hangtime on the N64 was better. It isn't all because of more processing power, but Jam TE wasn't as entertaining due to the lack of music.
I had a good chance to improve this zone's route with practice. Tails does again a good job with the rings left in the zone. --------------- I stop at the motors in the ship in order to advance when the path opens. Then, keep advancing in the normal route. --------------- Here, the battle with Metal Sonic was easy. The hard thing to do was hitting the final boss the first 3 times. Afterwards, keep attacking with the same pattern and run away with a spindash at max speed.
