In episode three of How to Kill Koin, I want to show you how to kill Koin by using what I like to call the "SNES Off-screen" trick.

Let me explain what it means. In the SNES version of the game, people figured out how to kill Koin using a 'sometimes faster' way by rolling the barrel towards him while he was off the screen. What happens when he is off the screen is that the barrel will roll through him. So one of two things could happen. 1.) You enter the screen right as it enters Koin, effectively killing him. 2.) You enter the screen right as it passes through Koin, the barrel bounces off of the wall and hits him from behind.

I performed this trick using the T.N.T. barrel (knocka) and the steel barrel provided in this level. I show you how to do it using the steel barrel in episode four of this series. In this episode, I use the T.N.T. barrel because it rolls and you can use the sound as proof to the glitch. Usually when you throw the T.N.T. at Koin, it will cause a loud racket and cause the game to lag. As I enter the screen, you hear the T.N.T. explode, but you don't hear the rattling of Koin's armor and shield. It takes timing, but it works the same way as it does in the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
