[*] How to Fix Save File Corruption

Here's a quick tut on how to fix savefile based problems with the game. Mainly those are random audio/video freezes, loading time issues, problems with loading main menu, etc. which some of us encounter from time to time when having messed with the savefiles earlier, for example to create practice files on read-only.

Savefiles are located at: Steam\userdata\67311404\360830\remote 

- move your save files somewhere else
- restart PC
- open game -> delete each slot in-game -> close game
- open game -> start a new game in each slot -> close game  (for safety: copy those files out and keep 
  them for if everything breaks apart)
- move your save files back into the remote folder

After that procedure you should be able to enjoy the game again.

Mod Edit:
If you somehow accidentally upload your corrupt save files to Steam Cloud, use this guide https://archive.is/O4OZe (this is an archive of a steam forum page) to delete the save data in the Steam Cloud. You can stop after Part II. step 2. The rest of the steps are if you want the cloud to remain empty such that you can start fresh on another computer.

[*] Movement Speeds Compared to Walking

These are some rough estimates with 3 trials each. I set a distance with landmarks and time how long it takes for Yooka to cross that distance as one trial. I use walking as a base speed and try and see how other methods of movement compare to walking. I used Capitol Cashino walkways as a test range because they are long, flat, and have lines on the floor for landmarks. I used the fountain for the swimming stuff and tried going in a full circle around the perimeter where the distance of walking and swimming will not vary too much. I used the slide in the entrance of the house of cards as it has a walk way next to it that can share the same landmarks. I am not 100% sure if different slides have different speeds. I do not account for acceleration and start the timer when I am already at top speed. Let me know if you disagree with any of it.

Continuous reptiles rushes: 3.0x
Buddy bubble while air attacking: 2.0x
Rolling: 1.8x
Flying: 1.8x
Fast sliding: 1.4x
Buddy Bubble walking: 1.2x
Continuous air attacking: 1.2x
Gliding: 1.0x
Passive sliding: 1.0x
Swimming while spamming bubbles: 1.0x
Surface swimming 0.9x
Underwater swimming 0.6x

[WIP] Any% W/Flight - PC Guide (Updated May 2020)

[section=Tips and General Notes]
• Your game must be limited to 60 FPS.  Many runners display the fps on their screen utilizing steam, dxtroy, or shadowplay.
• Timing starts when pressing A on file select.  The auto splitter by 0seren and CptBrian will start your timer if you give it permission to do so.                                                                                                             
• Timer ends when last stinger/attack hits Capital B. The auto splitter by 0seren and CptBrian will end your timer  if you give it permission to do so.                                                                                                             

• Hold the **Y** Button to quickly skip text.
• Some of the  [fastest movement techniques](http://www.speedrun.com/yl/guide/tydjq) as you acquire more moves are:
​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ • Continuous Air Attacking (which is slower than..)
​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ • Rolling/Flying (which is slower than...)
​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ • Continuous Reptile Rush's

• The inputs to gain the farthest distance in one jump is as follows:
​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ • Tail Twirl + Jump + Jump + Air Attack (Your jumps can be farther apart than you think)
​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ • This can be extended with Glide once it is learned.

This is an in-depth guide for Any% W/ Flight. For all newcommers to YL Speedrunning, we always recommend learning this run first as it is a great introduction to those wanting to speedrun YL. The route is very short, and you will most likely be able to finish a run in under 50 minutes without much practice. In this run, you will learn the basics of YL speedrunning, and the general route is essentially the same for the rest of the categories. The tricks in this route are used in most other categories.

            • 1 Quill
            • 3 Moves
 
 
**[big]Shipwreck Creek 1:[/big]**
 
    • Head straight over to Trowser and talk to him. He will teach you Tail Twirl.
 
[quote]Pro-tip: The more direct your path is to Trowser, the faster you will reach him. Additionally, you can save up to 2 seconds by positioning YL the distance they stand from Trowser during the dialogue. This will eliminate the animation time it takes for YL to automatically position themselves from Trowser before the dialogue starts. This applies to all NPC dialogue.[/quote]
 
    • Immediately Tail Twirl the chest next to Trowser and collect the quill inside.
    • Perform Trowser Skip:
            • [Lag Jump Method](https://streamable.com/zkazp)

    • ***Optional:*** Grab Butterfly Booster
    • Perform [Quack Skip](https://clips.twitch.tv/AmazingGeniusSageOSkomodo)
    • Enter Hivory
 
 
**[big]Hub A 1:[/big]**
 
    • Upon entering Hivory Towers, you will need to talk to Trowser and collect your 1st Pagie by performing [Statue Climb](https://clips.twitch.tv/MistyZealousAlfalfaBrokeBack)
 
[quote]Pro-tip: As soon as YL touches the pagie, you can QMM(quit-to-main-menu) and load back into the game. Since the only time we care about is loadless, the time spent on load screens is irrelevant.[/quote]
 
    • Talk to Trowser to learn Reptile Roll
    • Perform [Early Waterworks Skip](https://streamable.com/il7xx)
 
[quote]Pro-tip: Manual Camera will not get stuck on the wall when clipping OOB for EWW as long as you are running the latest version of YL on Steam. GOG version may vary. If you want to fix the camera on Classic mode, you will need to jump and air-attack as seen [here](insert_link_here).[/quote]
 
 
**[big]Hub B 1:[/big]**
 
    • You will enter Hub B in the Waterwroks area. Head straight to the Archive entrance.
 
[quote]Pro-tip: You can save time traveling if you enter WW with [Quick-Rise](insert_link). You can also save time by doing [No Splash Jumping](insert_link) and even more time by performing [DerKO Strat](insert_link)[/quote]
 
    • Collect Archive pagie by performing [Archive Clip](insert_link)
 
[quote]Pro-tip: It doesn't hurt to attempt to [roll into](insert_link) the archive door on your first attempt at the clip. When attempting to clip through the archive door, you will want YL to be positioned about 2/3rds the way to the top of the door when you air-attack. Everyone has a unique method of clipping through the door with varying degrees of success.[/quote]
 
    • Exit Archive and equip Baller Tonic from Vendi next to Archive entrance.

[section= Capital B]
 
**[big]Phase 1:[/big]**
 
    • Use Super Slam to 2-cycle Phase 1
 
[quote]Pro-tip: You can squeeze in an air-attack/tail-twirl after slamming on top of Cap B to ensure that you always 2-cycle.[/quote]
 
 
**[big]Phase 2:[/big]**
 
    • Hold R1 to Fix Camera during cutscene, it will aim towards Cap B
    • Roll to nearest box and use Slurp Shot
    • You must hit Capital B 15 times to advance to Phase 3
 
[quote]Pro-tip: Aim at where Cap B is going to stop and shoot berries there. The further you are from Cap B, the more shots you can get in at one spot. The direction(clockwise or counter-clockwise) will be the direction Cap B will fly in Phase 4. You can exploit this for more favorable odds in Phase 4.[/quote]
 
 
**[big]Phase 3:[/big]**
 
    • Avoid Novas, use Super Slam to 1-cycle Cap B for every sub-phase
 
[quote]Pro-tip: In sub-phase 2 and 4, you can roll around in [small circles](insert_link) to shake off the bees. You can also use [Ninpalk's strat](insert_link) to be able to hit Cap B right away. Or you can just [YOLO](insert_link) it if you have enough health and confidence.[/quote]
 
[quote]Warning: In sub-phase 2, you can still take damage from the bees in the cutscene after slamming Cap B.[/quote]
 
 
**[big]Phase 4:[/big]**
 
    • Sub Phase 1: Hit Cap B with 3 missiles, he will fire just 1 each time
    • Sub Phase 2: Hit Cap B with 3 missiles, he will fire 2 at a time
 
[quote]Pro-tip: At this point, Cap B will begin flying clockwise or counter around the arena. Be careful with missile manipulation, Cap B will only take 1 damage if multiple hit him at once. Cap B also has a few [I-frames](insert_link) after firing the last missile, and does not take damage while firing missiles.[/quote]
 
    • Sub Phase 3: Hit Cap B with 1 missile, he will fire 3 at a time and speed up
 
[quote]Pro-tip: Fly in the opposite direction of Cap B, you **cannot** catch-up to him by chasing him. Alternatively, you can [ride missiles](insert_link) and air-attack Cap B for the final hit. Or you can [super slam](insert_link) on top of him after he fires the last missile.[/quote]
 
[section=Congratulations!]

To find your game's installation directory, Right-Click it in Steam -> Manage -> Browse Local Files

• Play normally.

Maybe keep a copy of each installation in-case you need to do this again.

Any% Capital B Boss Fight Guide [Video]

https://youtu.be/4vnxKG3-GJI

Work in progress. This is for PC, but most of the stuff is the same on console Any%. Difference being the lack of roll, so you need to jumpattack instead of rolling.

Any% Route (PC)

This is the hardest (and fastest) current known route for any%. There is also a 3 pagie route that involves getting lizard leap that I will post at some point for people who find this too difficult as leapless missiles is quite difficult.
[section=Shipwreck Creek]

* Talk to Trowzer to get **Tail Twirl**
* Go back to boat and perform Trowzer Skip.
* (Optional) Get health extender.
* Perform Dr. Quack dialogue skip and enter Hivory Towers / World 1 Hub.


[section=Getting Abilities]

* Trigger Trowzer cutscene.
*  Collect Pagie on top of Capital B statue. Save and Quit.
* Get **Roll** from Trowzer.
* Perform Early Waterworks to enter World 3 Hub.
* Enter Archive
* Enter World 2 Hub
* Get **Glide** from Trowzer.


[section=Heading to Capital B]

* Go to World 1 Hub.
* Go to World 3 Hub.
* Quiz Time on way to World 4 Hub.
* Perform [Flightless Elevator Door Skip](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/149138741)
* Quiz Time


[section=Capital B]

* Attempt to two cycle Capital B in first phase. Three cycle is acceptable as two cycle timing is tight.
* Roll into Capital B in second phase. Air attack him when waiting for energy to refill.
* Dodge everything during third phase. Second and fourth parts with bees during this phase you can avoid damage by rolling before his fourth slam. If confident in missile riding, take damage in acid before bees hit to attack Capital B sooner. Each part of this phase should take 1 cycle.
* Direct first three missiles into Capital B with glide.
* Perform missile manipulation to [ride missile](https://clips.twitch.tv/ColdTentativeWitchVoteNay) and hit Capital B for 3 missiles.
* For final missile ride missile and air attack into Capital B or hit with missile.

I made this right after flightless any% became a thing, the route is pretty much the one used today still, so even though this guide is fairly old at this point, it should still be accurate.

Cagie Clip Tutorial

Capital B -  2-Cycle First Phase

Capital B starts with 15 health when you meet him up the elevator. After you avoid his bees, you get an opportunity to knock him down and deal damage. The initial hit to knock Capital B onto his back does not do any damage, and he will be invincible for a short while. A good visual cue to know when he is vulnerable is when the bottom of his cane hits his stomach and the head of the cane passes his right hand. From here, you have a moment to do damage before he becomes invincible again. The damage done in both of your cycles must add up to 15, or else you will have a third cycle which can cost ~20 seconds. There are three moves you can use beat the first phase of Capital B in 2 cycles: Super Slam, Tail Twirl, and Sonar Shield.

[section=Super Slam] Super Slam is the tonic that upgrades the move Buddy Slam. When Super Slam is activated, a wave of several hitboxes will come out when you buddy slam. Buddy slam itself will do 4 damage to Capital B, while the shock wave will hit Capital B many times and do 3-5 damage, totaling 7-9 damage. If you make sure you get a direct hit immediately, you will most likely get 8 damage.

Super Slam is the easiest and safest method to 2 cycle Capitol B, though it prevents you from using other useful tonics during the fight, such as Athlete. If you do not get a direct hit on Capitol B quick enough, you will risk not doing enough damage. 

[section=Tail Twirl]
Diagram: https://imgur.com/a/xTzj5lb
I will reference parts of this diagram with numbers, e.g. (#) Explanation

(1) When you hit Capital B with a Tail Twirl, you do 1 damage and begin a Tail Twirl combo. In this combo, you can attack 2 more times before the combo ends, doing 2 more damage. The faster you are able to do these 3 hits, the more time you have for the rest of the cycle to do damage. (2) After the 3 hits are done and we are in the cooldown animation, there is a persistent hitbox that lingers which will involuntarily hit Capital B a 4th time. (3) After the tail twirl animation ends, you can begin another tail twirl combo and do another 3 damage. (4) The delayed 4th hit, however, will not come out quick enough, and when it hits Capital B, he will be invincible, causing a total 7 damage for the cycle. We need 8 damage in a cycle to 2 cycle. Lucky for us, we are able to jump out of the tail twirl cooldown animation, AKA jump cancel. Also, the hitbox for air attacking comes out immediately after the A>X input. (5) To get the 8th hit, we will air attack immediately after the last X input of the second tail twirl combo. This input looks like: X>X>X>wait for lagging hit>X>X>X>A>X. You can just spam X until you need to press A>X as extra X inputs do not affect anything. This gif shows me doing the strat at half speed (https://gfycat.com/KeenDecisiveGoosefish). Capital B's health is shown in the bottom right. For comparison, here is another gif of me being too late in the first cycle but getting 8 damage in the second cycle instead (https://gfycat.com/LiquidUnnaturalEchidna) Here is TRS executing it real time (https://clips.twitch.tv/BlatantCourteousBoarTinyFace)

If you are like me and physically unable to execute this input fast enough, you can use pausing to make the process much easier. When you knock down Capital B, pause right as soon as you see the cane visual cue. First, you can quickly do these inputs: Start>X>Start>Start>X>Start>Start>X. From this moment, we wait to pause again sometime after the 4th hit and before the Tail Twirl animation ends. We will attempt Start>X>Start again, except this time there is a good chance that we will be too early. We want to start early to ensure that we get our hits in as early as possible. Keep trying Start>X>Start until you hear the sound effects of the tail twirl. When you hear them, continue doing the Start>X>Start>Start>X>Start, and then you are ready to do Start>A>X. It IS possible to do Start>X>Start too fast. When this happens, the hit of the combo is used up, but it will not register as damage done to Capital B. If this happens, you cannot get 8 damage in the cycle. The pauses will use up time, but they definitely pay off if you can reliably hit the 2 cycle.

There are 2 ways to get the "8th" hit in as your first hit, but these are unreliable as there is some unavoidable down time waiting for animations. When you knock Capital B down with a Tail Twirl, you can time your second and third hits so that the 4th lagging hit will connect with Capital B the same time that his invincibility drops. After waiting for the animation to end, you can do X>X>X>lagging hit>X>X>X, completing 8 damage. Another way to get in a hit early before starting the tail twirl combo is to use air attack. Right after knocking Capital B down, jump up high against him and air attack. The first hit will not do anything, but there can be a second hit that will come out. Try to connect this hit as soon as invincibility drops and as soon as you reach the ground. Often the second hit will not even come out so this is not viable. If you are insanely fast, you can use either of these early hits combined with the 2 tail twirls and air attack, you can deal 9 damage to Capital B in one cycle. 

[section=Sonar Shield]
Each time Sonar Shield is activated, a hitbox exists until it hits Capital B. This hitbox does not return until we turn Sonar Shield off and on again. Sonar Shield is able to be activated and deactivated without any lag or delay, meaning every time we toggle it on and off, we do 1 damage to Capitol B. We are able to damage Capital B as fast as we can mash the Y button. If you are a robot, you can actually finish the first phase in 1 cycle (https://gfycat.com/BowedImaginaryIndianpangolin). For us humans, we can still do 2 cycles, but it requires at least 8 presses per second of spamming Sonar Shield onto Capital B. Stamina can be an issue if you roll to avoid the bees, but it is reasonable if you use air attacks to escape. Using Sonar Splosion is the fastest method to escape the bees and uses less stamina than rolling.

Sonar Shield is really only used in 100% runs. It a good strat if you are a fast button masher. It will allow you to choose any tonic and it has much simpler inputs than the Tail Twirl method. It can be risky if you have do not have any Power Extenders or the Athlete tonic equipped, as running out of stamina can cause you to lose the 2 cycle.

Capital B - Fast Strat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCjW1_1dPKk

Capital B - Super Slam Strats

First Phase
Phase 1 is where Super Slam saves the most time. In the first cycle hit Capital with two super slams, the first of which needs to land on his body. The second one can be on the ground or on his body. Repeat this process in the second cycle. If you did everything correctly the first super slam of cycle 2 will be enough to end phase 1. 

Second Phase
This phase is unaffected by Super Slam and can be done normally. You can use the AOE aspect of Slam to take out some of the corplets if you desire. 

Third Phase
Super Slam saves time and health in this phase. Whenever Capital's cane gets stuck, slam to knock him down, then slam on his body for a one-hit cycle ender. Aim for the joint between his body and a leg. For the first bee chase in this phase, lure Capital toward the outer edge of the platform, then when you Slam on his body, slam so that you get pushed toward the outer edge even further. This will force Yooka to run to the inner circle in a mini-cutscene, and during this running animation the bees cannot hurt you. For the second bee chase, you do not need to lure Capital or use special placement. Just slam Capital before the bees hit you and they will disperse when the cutscene starts. 

Fourth Phase
Again, this phase is unaffected by Slam. Proceed as normal.

How to Set-Up Console Load Remover

Removing loads on console has always been a tricky situation, thankfully Toufool has created a tool which will allow us to do this with relative ease.  It just takes a little bit of manual set-up.

The first thing you'll want to do is download the latest version of Toufool's Auto-Splitter: https://github.com/Toufool/Auto-Split/releases 
Additionally, download the images found in this **[album](https://imgur.com/a/WiUzj63)** 

Once you have that, you'll want to perform the following steps.
• Create a folder and point to it for Split Images.
• Set the "Start/Split" hotkey to the same hotkey your timer has for pausing.
• Set the "Pause time (seconds)" to 0 so everything runs smoothly.
• Ensure your capture card is running and Yooka-Laylee is visible on it, or whichever program you'll run this from (eg: OBS)
• In-game, go to any loading screen.  Then use the "Select Region" button in the AutoSplit program to grab an image of the logo similar to this: 
https://imgur.com/XrF1lye.png

• In order to align it to the image you downloaded, click "Align Region" and then select the logo image you downloaded earlier.  That will force the X, Y, Width, and Height values to a setting that will match the images in the album from before.

• From this point, all you'll have to do is copy/paste the images a lot to get them in a proper "order".  The program works by sequentially going through the images in the folder you pointed "Split Image Folder" to.  The first one is named "001_SplitImage.png" and all subsequent images are named "split_image (x).png" where x starts at 1 and increases from there. 

• Here's an example of what the folder may look like for the first three loads in a run (start game, save/quit at first pagie, load back in): 
https://imgur.com/io16Mn8.png

• Use the logo/black images for selecting a file from the main menu, and when using "Return to Hub" within the game.
• Use the logo/main-menu images when needing to "Save and Quit" within the run.

Save File Editing Guide

Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\ and then there will be folder(s) with numbers unique to your Steam profile. In one of those folders, there will be another folder with the number 360830 which is the steam id for Yooka Laylee (or something like that). Inside that folder will be a folder "remote" where YL saves its save files as .dat files. slot0 is file 1, slot1 is file 2, slot2 is file 3. Pick the file you want to edit and open it with Notepad++ or an IDE. Notepad++ is free download online and is a useful text/code editing tool.

¤¤¤¤¤Mod Edit¤¤¤¤¤
GOG USERS:
Save files should be located in C:/Users/¤username¤/AppData/LocalLow/Platonic Ltd/Yooka-Laylee
¤¤¤¤¤End Edit¤¤¤¤¤

IMPORTANT: Make sure that you do not add a slot#.dat file when a previous slot#.dat does not exist. For example, if you do not see slot0.dat in your "remote" file, then do not copy another .dat file and rename it to slot0.dat. This will cause soft locks to happen. Instead, while in game, go to your first file and start a new game. This will let the game generate a slot0.dat for you that you can now edit.

If you are experiencing softlocks in the game after editing a savefile and can't seem to fix it, try Hedweg's guide here: https://www.speedrun.com/yl/guide/zd9xk

You can edit files while you are in the main menu, but there is a chance that the game will soft lock when you attempt to play a file.

Save File Editor

[section=Download And Source Code]
Source code: https://github.com/DerKO9/YLSaveFileEditor
Download: https://github.com/DerKO9/YLSaveFileEditor/releases/download/v1.0/YLSaveFileEditor.exe

Im not paying $75 to sign my executable with a certificate, so Windows will tell you its dangerous.
If your cautious:
1) Check the source code or build it yourself with Visual Studio.
2) Check the checksum of the executable before running it.
This proves that the .exe file I made is the exact same as the one you received.
3) Scan with Windows Defender, a good antivirus built into Windows 10

[section=How to Use]
Load:
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\ and then there will be folder(s) with numbers unique to your Steam profile. In one of those folders, there will be another folder with the number 360830 which is the steam id for Yooka Laylee (or something like that). Inside that folder will be a folder "remote" where YL saves its save files as .dat files. slot0 is file 1, slot1 is file 2, slot2 is file 3.

Reload:
Reloads the the file you last loaded. This is your reset button if you make changes you don't want.

Save:
The "Read Only" checkbox next to the save button will save the file as read-only, which means that the game will not be able to save over your file. This is ideal for practice files you want to reload.

0% and 100%:
0% resets the file to new game.
100% completes file.

Player Tab:
This tab has all the players moves, tonics, and inventory. Despite being limited to 1 tonic in game, you are able to enable as many tonics as you like. "Spendable Pagies" is the pagie number you use to unlock worlds.

Worlds Tab:
Each world has its own tab. On the left has the world state and collectibles. The right is a grid that contains game stats relevant to the world. The grid has collectible information inside it as well, but mostly they are a display value for the totals screen rather than representing the actual collectibles.

Arcade Tab:
This has all the arcade scores and whether you completed and/or got the high score.

Misc Game Data Tab:
This grid has all the miscellaneous game data and stats. It has all the data entries that were not included in the worlds data grids.
The "CurrentLoadStartPoint" selects where you spawn once you load up a level.\

Warning:
Make sure that you do not create a slot#.dat file when a previous slot#.dat does not exist. For example, if you do not see slot0.dat in your "remote" file, then do not copy another .dat file and rename it to slot0.dat. This will cause soft locks to happen. Instead, while in game, go to your first file and start a new game. This will let the game generate a slot0.dat for you that you can now edit.
If you keep experiencing softlocks while trying to load or save the file ingame, try Hedweg's guide:
https://www.speedrun.com/yl/guide/zd9xk

[section=Disclaimer]
I primarily made this for fun and to learn WPF UI. It was only made to better interface with save files instead of editing them directly in a text editor. This is not a save manager and it cannot create new saves.

I still don't know many details of how the game actually reads the save files or what many of the game stats actually do. You will have to find out the details for yourself. If you ever learn something new, add it to this guide https://www.speedrun.com/yl/guide/qmx31 .

I cover all pagies and quillies with an all-or-nothing textbox as I do not know which collectible index number corresponds to which pagies/quillie and I would not know how to title each pagie. Learning this would require me to very slowly 100% the game, creating a name and number for each pagie as I go, which I will not do.

Teleport Trainer

[section=Download]
Link to download: https://github.com/DerKO9/YLTeleportTrainer/releases

[section=How to Use]
To use TP Trainer,
1) Open "DerKO's TP Trainer v2.EXE" after opening YookaLaylee. A new window will pop up.
2) activate the "Initialize" by hitting star (*) key on the numpad after loading into any world/hub
3) Wait a few second for scanning to finish. "Initialize" will turn green when ready

"Set Position" allows you to store your position (XYZ coordinates) into four different slots. "TP to Position" allows you to recall those positions to teleport back to.

You can use the 7, 4, 1, 0 numpad keys to set each slot and the 9, 6, 3, (.) numpad keys to TP to each slot.
You can also use controller buttons: Left-Shoulder+D-pad set slots and Right-Shoulder+D-pad TPs to each slot.

[section=Warning]
- I have mapped the controller buttons with a Xbox360 Controller, so if you have different controller they may not work??

- The slots carry over from level to level, so for example if you save slots in Tribalstack, you will probably teleport into the void if you try TP to those slots in Glitterglaze. You can also TP into the void if you render different areas of the same level.
Rule of Thumb: If you enter into a new area or world, have a safety slot to TP back to if you accidentally TP back into an unloaded area.

- Windows will sometimes identify Cheat Engine (open source software which this tool is made with http://www.cheatengine.org) as a threat to your computer. While you should be wary about what Cheat Engine is capable of, my tool can only touch memory in YookaLaylee64.exe. If you want to verify that this wont do anything reckless/malicious, I have added the .CT file AKA source code (must have Cheat Engine to open) that can show all the scripts it uses and exactly what address it touches etc.

[section=Wish List]
Things I would like to change/add in the future (but probably wont lol):
1) Camera position and player rotation to also be saved and retrieved so you don't get turned around after teleporting
2) Repawning collectibles or not making them able to be picked up so you can practice collecting things many times
3) Wrong warp to anywhere you want, while triggering a warp anytime rather than walking through a door/dying etc. This could be tricky but would be NEAT
4) Enable Tonics/Moves

I will try to accept suggestions of stuff to add given they are not too much work
