How to Grab Items as Yoshi in Mario 64 DS
32While I was toying around in Cool Cool Mountain, I was interested in trying to see if Yoshi could, in the brief period from losing a cap, could regrab items. After a bit of patience, I was able to do so, albeit with some caveats.
After more testing with the mechanics around it, it seems to be similar, if not the same as the state that made it possible to get infinite coins in SSL as shown in Really_Tall's TAS. However, recreating the state which causes it to behave like it (for a human) has been inconsistent.
I tried to get Yoshi to grab a normal Box in Hazy Maze Cave, but for whatever reason, I couldn't get it it work.
At the time I originally uploaded the video (and later delisted), I only tested this glitch in Cool Cool Mountain, and didn't even explored the possibilities in other levels. I haven't tested it with Ukiki or Bowser, but I'd assume the behavior would be interesting. Feel free to experiment with it, and maybe you'll find something ground breaking.
The last clip of the video was recorded on actual hardware - Proving that this wasn't a emulation issue before anyone asks.
