OoB / Event Triggers / Early King Boo

First, I used cheats on NTR to figure out how to trigger King Boo at the end of the game to fight him and end the game.

Second, its not currently possible to OoB anywhere in this game and even if you could it does not work the same as the original game.

It has been known for awhile that if you could reach King Boo early you can't fight him, the event never triggers so all you can do is explore his room and admire the Mario painting. However, I recently devoted nearly four hours deciding to look into this and what the requirements exactly are if you could actually trigger his event and fight him and so below are the requirements of what it would take to make it occur;

-You MUST complete Area 3- This updates the flags for Area 4 (King Boo's door and Van Gore's Key)

-You MUST have Van Gore's key- You need to have this to make the barrier appear and then make it disappear on King Boo's door. The problem you'll have is getting close enough to the door to disable the barrier because King Boo will send you out to the foyer.

-You MUST disable the barrier on King Boo's door- This updates King Boo's event trigger to approach him and battle. This is the security measure they decided to take to fix the original games problems.

-You DO NOT NEED 40 boos- As long as you can disable the barrier, boos don't matter.

-You DO NOT NEED to finish Area 1 or 2- Flags don't get updated for Area 4's door, only completing Area 3 causes this.

If its needed, I can create a video on this at a later time but if you have a 3DS and can use NTR, you can follow these steps and get this to occur. I feel while you can't do anything currently to get to the end of the game early that this information is important into figuring out another method into doing so if it one day becomes possible.
