I’m willing to bet that the 10 on 1 jabbi fight isn’t a true softlock, you just have to be incredibly skilled to hit every one of the jabbies with flurrie before puniper is knocked out-and keep them down while he fights them. Great video!

Puniper is the large one, I think?

[@ianjohnson218]

@@gnolfooops, you’re right. It’s Punio

[@metroidnerd9001]

I would imagine getting the Blue Key with Koops is still useful for speedrunning since it lets you skip watching the Petuni cutscene, right? Just so long as you never open the chest?

[@AgentAaron101]

Most definitely. Instead of fighting the 10 jabbies and getting the chest, you can just get the key from the loading zone and unlock the 90 punies right after. Just make sure you defeat the 10 jabbies with your 101 punies before getting trapped by Crumps.

[@PsiPaula4]

I don't know if it's possible to do this in the remake, but I swear in the original it was possible to defeat the 10-Jabbi squadron with just Punio. When I was a kid I didn't understand that you had to blow the Punis across the bubble pool thing. So they'd all get left behind in that room. I'd keep trying to progress by fighting the Jabbis. I managed to get past the 10 Jabbis with only Punio, (I forget how many tries it took, but it probably took many tries) but of course the 100-Jabbi squadron was impossible with only Punio.

[@user-lh5dc5cy1b]

One punch Puni

[@CheesecakeMilitia]

Oh man, this video had me excited for the potential of a new "what ticking?" speedrun glitch, but alas.

[@Veegie]

In the Switch version, if you hit a ? block but don't collect the item that pops out, the ? block is reset to full when you reload the room. My guess is that something similar is going on with the blue key chest; it gets opened, but you don't collect the item from it, so the game resets it back to closed when the area is reloaded. EDIT: As per the replies below, this logic where uncollected items are put back into the ? block is also true of the GCN version.

Now, le chest is still closed, opening it make Punio teleport here, but he has no collision box and doesn't follow us anymore. Exiting the room still triggers le cutscene, and Punio is not here anymore when re-entering. And after that, Punio and Petuni in the first room of the GBT are intact, everyone's is fine.

[@MiirioKing]

what if the timer runs out during the glitched cutscene?

[@itsshypixels]

I ended up finding a similar softlock earlier in my playthrough! When doing the dirty shorts questline, if you close the lower table drawer and talk to Jolene in quick succession after speaking to the Goomba in Rogueport, the game softlocks after her dialogue ends (probably due to the game trying to complete an action when mario is in a weird position, since he moves to a specific spot during the Jolene cutscene).

[@skyguard1an]

I hope this NEVER gets patched out

[@Real_RUBB3R]

I think this is less of a glitch and more of just an oversight from the devs. It's not like you did anything special to make the key spawn out of bounds and be able to grab it with Koops, it's just a case that the devs didn't either use a fake version of the key for the cutscene, or simply unload the key once it's off screen

[@zachandley9377]

This makes me wonder. When do you get the option to get your jabbie friend? The "102nd puni." Using them and Punio with some very well timed stunning with Flurrie (and an insane amount of luck) would it be possible to beat the 10 Jabbie squad?

[@twiddle10000]

What’s probably happening with that chest is that the games trying to check if the key was taken from the chest to open it or close it, but since you already got the key you didn’t take the key from the chest, so the check never gets activated, and whenever the chest reloads it’ll revert back to being closed.

[@CheesyLizzy]

Can you come back and watch this cutscene anytime even after chapter 2? XD

[@mickkelley3776]

Does the glitched cutscene still play even after the chapter has ended? Like, can you go back to the chest during the hunt for General White and still watch the cutscene, or does ending the chapter make the game correct itself?

[@theimperfectionist3383]

so if im not mistaken, isn't this a good speedrun trick? Get the key, go back for the 101 Punies, take out the 10 jabi squad to get the super boots later, get them trapped, and just ignore the chest entirely to skip the cutscene?

[@cammac6243]

Is it still faster to get the blue key early, and then kill the jabbies afterwards?

[@valshaped]

I'm really glad they made it so chests, ? Blocks, and badge blocks track whether their contents got added to the inventory in the remake

[@Amare200]

I got an idea you might be abale to do chapter's 3 & 4 2 twice on the remake becuase of whhen you do this glitch the chest with the blue key closes again after you go back to the room so maybe after beating chapters 3&4 you can go back to chapter 2 open the chest and possibly get back into a pre chapter 3 state

I can't believe the devs loaded in the actual blue keys for that cutscene instead of a graphical one. The Switch remake is full of Unoptimized code, which is why they needed 30FPS and it still lags in some areas.

[@RedStoneMatt]

Says a non-programmer. Object placement has nothing to do with code optimization, and the 30fps are likely because of the scenes that require rendering 200 characters at a time with animations and stuff, which the switch struggles with because it's underpowered

@@ptanker9236 The gamecube abused the frame buffer a lot to do the scenes with hundreds of npcs, which looked convincing on a blurry crtv because frame buffered npcs are incredibly low quality. While they could technically do it on switch it would still take a quality hit so it's better off just doing individual npcs which will obviously tank performance a bit.

[@RedStoneMatt]

@@ptanker9236 it was indeed underpowered for its time too, which is why in scenes where you see so many characters, they used very low poly snf low quality models, which was fine at the time because since the video resolution was 480p you wouldn't notice the difference. This kind of trick is much harder to pull off on switch since you need to make it look good on 1080p
