I have since been informed that this is just some developer oversight of some kind, sorry for the confusion all. :P

Hi all, I'm new to speedrun.com! Came here to say that in swaagdude's run in the Alaskan Bullworm (1:14:16) section the sleepy seed finder is on while in the past sections like 8:35 it was off. Not sure if over the course of the run it naturally turns on ue to some glitch, but to me it seems like an obvious case of splicing. I hope this is resolved quickly and that this is just some glitch that tends to occur in the game.
