It appears as if the collision of the first section (the past) is kept while the pause menu is open, despite you being in the second section (the future). I believe this is why you fall through the bridge in the future section if you walk forward after activating the pause glitch.

So I think this could be very useful on co-op if one player can activate the glitch while the other traverses the level. I think routing would be pretty complicated, but it would be really neat to see this strat utilized. Not sure how useful it would be for solo runs sadly.

I wrote these rules years ago, I apologize for the confusion. This is referring to the internal memory of your wii or wii u, which have a number of blocks that you can fill before you cannot save a game. In some games, if you don't have any space to save, you can skip saving entirely, which saves a lot of time compared to runs that do not have their data filled.

This was not referring to the in-game save files, and I had in mind for many games that I modded that, if the game permitted through not auto-saving, (or in the case of this game, having save files in-game), that things like abusing full-save files should be allowed.

I should have written these rules for more clarity, cause I could totally see that being confusing. The reason for the aforementioned rules was specifically made so that people do not have to make a setup of filling the internal memory to get an optimal run. Doing so takes a lot of time, and only certain games like Super Smash Bros Brawl make it easy to fill up your internal Wii/Wii U memory.

Regardless of all this written above, I left the site a bit ago only to return recently, so I am not a mod, but I am the one who wrote those rules and that was what was intended by them. If the new mods feel differently than what I have mentioned, then I am sure they could address this, but I just felt like giving that input.

does my run do that? I think mine might not get all treasures, pretty sure you can beat the game without having to grab all treasures, like taking the kraken path that skips some levels. You get the treasure king crown and the credits just from beating the game iirc
