Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga ~ Skip half the game!

This is a demonstration of a time saving application of the 'selected action command' glitch (see my previous videos).

This completely skips the Airport, Teehee Valley, Little Fungitown, Guffawha Ruins, the 4 starbean collecting and Joke's End. It saves approximately 1 hour in the TAS.

There are three problems with this skip.
1) Since so much is skipped, you end up very weak for the last bosses so the battles will take forever to complete.
2) The Bowser's Castle sequence break (using the escape way the other way around) does currently only work if you start a file and never save and then do it at the end. I do not know if it works when doing this huge skip, but I will make a testrun soon anyway. If it turns out that it is something very out of the way, like the barreling minigame in the ship then you'd have to go through the front door in Bowser's castle and just complete it. It may be possible to clip through a lot of stuff inside so maybe you can still reach the end fast.
3) This glitch is complicated, the movement glitching is strange and unexpected. I admit that half of what I do in this video, I don't even know myself what I did (lol). What I mean to say is, it will be very hard to optimally use this glitch in a TAS. Also, the rock in front of Teehee valley should be skippable so you never have to get hammer upgrades. I will test that in the testrun.

If you still wonder what the progress is on the TAS: The TAS WIP died with this new glitch discovery. I never visit Fungitown, so I don't get mush badges, so there is no point in collecting mushrooms. The earliest point where I collect mushrooms is way back, in the Koopa Cruiser.

It wouldn't be a M&L glitch video without Luigi morphing into a barrel

The fact that you managed to beat popple and birdo at such a low level is amazing in itself.

Someone needs to make a remix using all these different voice clips.

You can do this stuff in all versions but you can not "barrel clip" through walls on non-Japanese versions for some reason. Barrel clipping is what you see at 1:00 . This video is from emulator but I have done this on console.

2:57 I don’t understand what happened. In a room, Luigi was behind Mario and then, HE’S TIED UP?!

So, this is very easy to do...
**universe collapses under the pressure of interdimensional powers**
...and that's how you do it. Any questions?

[angelandrea]

Why does it look like birdo's design was changed in the american version?

[Medibisu]

This is the best thing I've seen all week

I'm not making a glitchless run and further route planning on the old wip is stopped. So everything after Woohoo Hooniversity, as far as HIGE(stache) upgrades and POW upgrades go is untested. And because someone else has recently "claimed" to continue on one of my other WIPs I want to say this: I don't like it when people "claim" my discontinued WIPs and do a poor job with it, then claim the whole thing for themselves (upload, submit to tasvideos etc.) with my name on it without my approval.

[mugg]

It's only in the Japanese version. Refills BP and HP for free and you can use it as many times you want. It's in a few places throughout the game.

Nice glitch. I remember playing this game many years ago and enjoying it.

[oshawottgaming]

No wonder the Game Boy was good as early as it released. Now it's glitchy.

[andres.escalante]

Why do you wanna skip half of this awesome game anyways
