Hello all. I don't run this game, but I found a very small time-saving glitch that I haven't seen anywhere else. I wonder if this is new? Basically, manually exiting cutout mode with Y right as you jump onto the flag makes Mario go to the location, but without the "Found the solution!" jingle that normally plays, allowing control maybe about 1 second earlier. This seems to work on every flag that I have tested so far.
Related to this is a pointless non-time saving audio glitch that I also haven't seen anywhere else. If you hit the save block in The Crimson Tower right before the Morton fight, then close and reboot your game, if you mash Y right when you get control over Mario, you can hear both The Crimson Tower's music and the Cutout music at the same time.
One other thing that probably isn't even a glitch but looks weird: If you hammer a spiny in Kiwano Temple with the Super Star active, the animation of it flying away looks a little delayed. It's amusing.
Well, that's all, I hope you can put this to use somewhere...
Do you think this would also skip text that pops up after doing the cutout like in the cutout tutorial for example?
When I was testing it in Mustard Cafe (the cutout across the stair of pipes), I know that I did get the trick because the jingle didn't play, but the cafe toad still talked like he normally would after doing that cutout the first time. So I don't think it could?
