Can we get Reset Skip & No Reset Skip boards for Survival Island? It's possible to save the night vision goggles in Episode 4 as a costume and use that to obtain them (Same as the bunny ears in 24 Carrot). If you need video proof I'll be recording a run later.
So I'm doing a bunch of glitch hunting and I'm just going to use this thread to report all the reset skips I find. So here's what I've found so far.
Arabian Nights: The special bombs used in each episode can be saved as costumes.
Poptropicon: The wizard outfit and cheetah amulet from Episode 1 can be saved as costumes.
Super Villain: If you are holding the diamond drill when you reset, you will still have it when you restart the island. Jason does this in his run, which is how I found out about it.
Vampire's Curse: Two things. First, the position of the ladder in the main room of the castle does not seem to reset. This happens in OrphixG's run. Second, you can keep the crossbow if you're holding it when you reset.
Zomberry: It is possible to keep the camera by having it equipped when resetting. Additionally, the breaker switches at the apartment complex remain in the same position.
Interestingly, the previous three only seem to happen when the island is reset from the overworld map, as opposed to from on the island using the settings reset button.
This is a really weird one. Counterfeit: After talking to the Black Widow in her underground lair, and before getting over to her partner, exit to the overworld map and reset. When you enter the island again, you will spawn in at the blimp, as though you were just beginning the island, but you will keep all your items, and can immediately go to the inspector's house and find the Scream.
Wild West: Tame Elmer and get the letter from the Pony Express Rider. Exit to the overworld map and reset. When you reenter, you will still have the letter and the whistle to call Elmer, and can proceed as normal. This will not work if you are riding Elmer when you exit and reset.
More Stuff. I've started looking into integrating Back Button Abuse like is done on Spy and Shark Tooth. Here's what I've found so far. All of the following require resetting from the menu instead of the overworld map to preserve the page history.
Red Dragon: You can back button to the mountain with the cloud dragon and immediately start the dragon battle. Cryptids: You can back button to the scene where you're on Gretchen's plane and free Bigfoot. Early Poptropica: You can back button into the Giant's garden and get the bucket.
I strongly suspect this is doable in some form nearly every old style island. Expect an update soon.
Discoveries continue.
Astro Knights: Back button to immediately get to the planets and help the knights. Lunar Colony: Another stupid broken one. You can back button into the underground scene after raising the last pillar. Twisted Thicket: Back button into the tree with the Elf Queen. Game Show: Back button into the top of Holmes' lair to get the flash drive, then back into the center to reset him.
