Decided to put this in a new thread, since technically this is more of a programming quirk I had run across than an unreplicable glitch.

In BT I talked to the piglets that were unable to swim in their pool (because for some reason placing a pool below a toxic waste runoff pipe is a good idea). Decided to do things differently and not turn off the pipe and see what would happen if I unplug a pool of water from Cloud Cuckooland first. I returned and said pigs were playing in the pool as though I'd turn off the runoff pipe before. Essentially, this made getting that jiggy impossible, and a nightmare for a completionist. The only cheat I had on was to make Banjo faster.

That's the only one that I remember having done in BT even though I remember discovering a few of these in BT. e likely reason of this happening being due to Rare programming multi-world puzzle flags pretty damn poorly. Actually, now I'm trying to remember if I had run across something similar in Starfox Adventures when thinking about that.

Regardless, piglets will play in filth given it meets their temperature requirements.

That's rather unfortunate... And also unfortunate is that it's pretty hard to sequence break ANYTHING in SFA. Like, when playing as Krystal in Krazoa Palace, even IF you get through that window into the main area, that first wind elevator is deactivated (though the others aren't), and none of the other Krazoa deposit places can be interacted with. Using the swim-though-air glitch, you can reach a couple places early as fox, but many objects seem to be set to not load unless the previous event is cleared :c it's a real shame, i really wanted to sequence break and make speedruns of it more fun x3

I don't remember ever swimming-through-air, but

Anyway, for anyone who wants to speedrun BT 100%, they pretty much have to choose their sequence breaks carefully.

Then again, Banjo-Tooie had a pretty big programming bug where it'd randomly think Lord Woo Fak Fak was already beaten and thus ruin the game for someone going for 100% completion. I've no idea how it happens, but it can happen. Played through the entire game so much that happened like three or four times. (And my count would put the playthrough count at 15 or so?)

And somehow that reminded me of the Chilli Billi/Willi glitch.

yeah, you can airswim by tapping Z to enter first-person as you fall off of a waterfall but are still underwater, then tap Z again to exit first-person, and you should be swimming at the vertical height of the water, in the air. This can be pulled off in both Lightfoot Village in the area with the WarpStone, and in the Walled City off of that one waterfall there.

As for BT, do you know if those same problems still happen in the 360 port? I've been pretty interested in 100%ing that game ever since i finished the BK port...

Hmm... other then various glitches i've triggered myself, I don't know many programming quirks i've stumbled across in games that are unreplicable... that or I can't think of any at the moment x.x

in ocarina of time (gc port) and the wind waker (gc)

I somehow broke the trade quests and managed to get the final item
like one or two items into the quest

needless to say I have no idea how it happened but was very okay with it

Were you holding R?

I discovered an interesting, completely useless quirk in Pokemon Red/Blue back in the day. It seems when you step off a ladder, you're able to move south for one tile, even if there's something in the way. So in the final dungeon you can step on to a rock, accomplishing nothing. Yay!

Also, the Japanese version of Super Mario 64 has a somewhat well-known bug: if you get over 999 coins, your lives counter bugs out. I investigated and found this was due to a simple copy and paste error; the errant code would have been something like:

if(lives > 100) lives = 100;
if(coins > 999) lives = 999;

Spot the bug. But since lives is an 8-bit signed integer, it discards the high byte and writes 231, or -25. (This also tells us that they probably ignored compiler warnings! Tsk tsk.)

Blobbo for Macintosh had a quirk that allowed skipping levels by abusing the Undo feature.

Basically, you take the level exit. Once you're in the next level, immediately undo, and take the exit again. You're now in the level after the next level.

Likely coming from the fact the undo feature forgets to decrement the 'current level' variable when undoing the 'end level' action.

When I was a kid, I repeatedly used that to skip level 7, because I was unable to figure it out.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description

longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
