VBA-24m JP
RNG base values before Luigi attacks are 105, 192 in both cases. (You can find the numbers somewhere in the gifs.) Yet, even though the RNGs are the same, I got the lucky hit only on VBA.
@jdaster64, I'm interested in what you have to say about this. Is there a third RNG source? Am I understanding RNG wrong? Is one of the two emulators flawed?
Edit:
Actually, the "waiting on dialgoue" technique does work on Bizhawk. I'm confused now... Looks like I should be able to manipulate luck hits by waiting then.
Edit2: I guess Stache and Level are not the same between the two gifs, that's why the lucky hit didn't occur on bizhawk.Regarding BizHawk, is it the same for both GBA cores there?
Assuming those are still just pointers into the real RNG seed space, you should probably try replacing those values with RNG stuff from my scripts.

In the image above it looked promising but a few rooms later the offset is not 0x34c anymore...
MLSS script v0.12-Test (which the image above was taken with)
MLSS script v0.12.2 (NPC display removed)
Changes in v0.12.2:
- Run Event: Fixed game crash that could happen when using "Cam fix", on the US version.
- Warp to Room: Fixed game crash that could happen when using "set pos/cam", on the US version.
Changes in v0.12.1:
- Actors: Disabled the incomplete NPC display.
Renamed back to "Battle".
- Run Event & Warp to Room: Fixed various issues:
Fixed game crashes that could happen after running an event or after warping to a room on the European version.
Fixed game crash when running certain events on the Japanese version
- Run Event: Added option "Unlock cam" (it's not included in "bugfixes" anymore).
- Battle: Fixed script malfunctioning when entering a battle on the European version.
Changes in v0.12-Test:
- Minor bugfixes and changes.
- Battle: Renamed to "Actors".
You can now edit in-battle actors (enemies and brothers).
You can now view and edit in-battle misc values (only camera for now).
You can now view and edit overworld actors (only x position for now). <-- Unfinished
- Notifications: Battle value comparison has been removed.
- Flags, Savegames: Added flags (Teehee Valley visited, more items in shops).
- Misc: Added camera position and camera "locked" status.
- The camera fix used in "Free Movement" and "Warp to Room" will now unlock the camera if it was locked.
- Run Event: Unlock locked camera after running an event.
Notes:
- Battle display has been updated, but in-battle value comparison had to be removed. It will be added back in a later script version.so onto the glitch. the Bike Pads in Bowser's Castle is where i stumbled across this glitch, completely on accident. for some reason, while trying to do the parkour, one of my brothers fell off into the lava. The lava did no damage, and just got sunk into the fiery depths. mario fell off the pad as well as i was trying to escape the lava, but it just got me even more stuck, and i had to reset the game!
I got it to work in this place three times but I was never able to record it.
When I actually did record it, the file desynced (wut?).
I'm interested in the effects that falling off can have in other places. I think if you can successfully interrupt the pedal event, you can walk through walls freely in that room. Not that there are any places where that could be useful but who knows.[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

murmilio wanted me to ask if you do a fight before the bros. attack tutorial since that tutorial restores your BP. You wouldn't need a syrup for that usage.
It seems unused entries are loaded to WRAM, so this script could help find unused objects. Happy tcrf hunting?
EDIT: Restored post after I accidentally edited over it.
There might be a luigi object somewhere in there too, not shown in the screenshot..
I will try to find unused stuff in other rooms now. But maybe people at yoshi's lighthouse already went over this, so maybe there's nothing left to be found.
( Luascript 0.12.5 which includes the npc flags )
EDIT:
*** Room 9 (Test room 6)
Actor 5 (single pedal platform) is offscreen and disabled, but doesn't have any reaction when interacting with it.
*** Room 30 (End cinematics, when they're in the plane laughing)
Actor 7 might be an invisible hoo bean block, but I can't confirm.
There are 4 active FCHR (Actors 3~6) objects, but disabling them doesn't have any visual effect.
*** Room 62 and Room 61 (Bean castle interior)
In both those rooms, there are two knight actors that have dialogue, not sure if used or not.
*** Room 76 (first room of mountain enemy area)
Actor 3 is an unused bean person NPC that says "I'm tired of living in the sticks. I want to live someplace cool, where there's lots to do!"
Actor 4 and 5 are badge sprites, also unused in that room.
*** Room 131 (Bean area, south east, beach)
Actor 7 is some invisible block (Hoo bean), unreachable in an out of bounds section of the room.
*** Room 169 (Oho oasis, south-west)
Actor 6 is a red Oho Jee, located on top of the radio, appears to be unused and possibly for testing the black fade-out effect when using the radio.
When talking to this Oho Jee, it works the same as if you interact with the radio.
*** Room 172 (Oho oasis, north-east)
Actor 6 is a snail. appears to be unused.
It would be there in addition to actor 5 (snail), which looks like two snails kissing. lol
*** Room 173 (Oho oasis, south-east)
Actor 4 is a crab, it might be unused OR otherwise used for the cutscene when landing in this place.
Actor 7 is a blue Oho Jee, located on top of the radio, same deal as in room 169.
Actor 9, is inactive and when made active it's invisible still. Not sure what gives.
*** Room 206 (Seabed)
There are a few invisible Hoo Bean blocks in this room, not documented on vgmaps.
Used and accessible.
*** Room 219 (University, main hub room)
There is one invisible Hoo bean block in this room, not documented on vgmaps.
Used and accessible.
*** Room 221
One invisible hoo bean block, etc.
*** Room 263
One invisible hoo bean block, etc.
*** Room 274 (Mushroom kingdom, 1st room)
Actor 13 is a bowser sprite?
Actor 14 and 15 are some unloaded invisible objects?
Not sure which one is supposed to be the known unused toad object in this room.
*** Room 344 and 345 and 353 and 354 and 363 (Joke's End)
have one invisible hoo bean block each, undocumented, etc.
