He found that it’s actually possible to make it onto the side of the mountain (through carefully placed Major Ruin rush attacks on a nearby ramp) where you get flex without riding any of the ice rails. Not sure how far you can take it, but maybe it could lead to a potential time save in the future. You need 40 Below to kill the ice boss anyway, so I don’t think it’s THAT useful yet, but it could lead to something.

They didn’t get a clip of it though. I could attempt to do it on my current save, but I’m not sure if any Major Ruin upgrades would give me a height advantage or something.

I legit can’t wait for the day elemental skips are discovered. When I was a kid, I tried to glitch into the thorn’s castle area before thermite, but I simply couldn’t get that far. The collision in this game seems to be surprisingly stringent, to the point where there’s only one clip I’ve gotten to work consistently on the mountain, and it just sends you falling to your doom.

Sorry if this is kinda useless, but I think it’s an interesting discovery nonetheless.

The simplest way would be to isolate the value that plays the victory animations, and have that trigger an auto-splitter. Not sure where the address would be tho, you’d have to ask a coder. I’m just theory crafting here anyway

Cool idea, but it is unviable, because it would take too long with little pay off. Most party mode scenes have low level AI (not including the extra episodes) and can already be beaten with a few back-to-backs or T-spins. Just meet the score requirement and stall tbh.

Maybe if there was a way to guarantee pentominos it might be possible to gimp any later level party mode stages, but most of the items barely effect AI to begin with.

Just an observation, please don’t take it personal
