When trying to perform the napsack glitch where you fall out of bounds while using the napsack, you sometimes respawn at the nearest waypoint whilst asleep (which is useful), but sometimes you respawn and soft-lock the game (which is naturally bad).

To try to help with this mystery, I decided to study the timing necessary to avoid getting the frozen leader glitch.

Turns out there's almost no pattern to go by... I hope SOMETHING useful can still be taken out of this video for speedrunning purposes, but the truth of the matter is that this is just another case of Pikmin 2 being insane.

Apologies for the weird audio. I had to sync the audio and video manually, and it wasn't pretty.
