Cronikeys | Glitter Gulch Mine Tricks and Timesavers (Banjo-Tooie) @Cronikeys | Uploaded March 2013 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
Yeehaw! Here are some fun tricks, glitches, and timesavers for Glitter Gulch Mine done in the same style of that Witchyworld video I made.
Trick 1 - When you collect the Cheato on top of the Glitter Gulch Mine sign as the first Cheato of the game while climbing up from a grip grab, you will be stuck in the grip grab animation in mid-air while it is loading the Cheato cutscene.
Trick 2 - You can get out of bounds right near the entrance by grabbing the side of the sign behind the wall. There's not much you can do here -- besides fall into The Void.
Trick 3 - If you shoot a Clockwork Kazooie Egg into an acute angle like the one on top of the Prospector's Hut, the Clockwork Kazooie will be standing out of bounds. From here you can jump into The Void. Unfortunately, you can't make it into the Flooded Caves area. This is probably possible in other places.
Trick 4 - An oldy but a goody :) Here's a fancy little tutorial for a 100% consistent setup I use for getting the Generator Room jiggy early. The in-video prompts should show exactly what I'm pressing when. If this seems hard it means you are doing something wrong, because it is very, very, very, very, very consistent. Be sure to press up sooner than you'd normally think to -- right after you activate Bill Drill hold up! If you keep falling off the ladder, it means you are not holding up soon enough.
Trick 5 - This is a Clockwork Warp into the Flooded Caves. I think this might be useful in "manipulated jinjo" speedruns, the 100% route, or the any% TAS. It skips having to press the button and watch the "here's the river that leads to a gate that just opened!" cutscene. The reason it probably isn't useful for non-manipulated RTAs is because you'd need these two jiggies early in the run so it's worth watching the cutscene and slow swimming through the Flooded Caves.
Trick 6 - Incredibly boring and obvious but I thought I might as well show it in this video. You can reach the jiggy behind the waterfall as solo kazooie just by jumping, wing whacking, and flapping over to it. This might be useful if Kazooie goes on a little adventure by herself in the 100% route.
Trick 7 - An alternate way to get the Generator Room jiggy with clockworks. This is probably only relevant if Kazooie goes on that solo adventure in the 100% route since it's a tad bit slower than the method shown in "trick 4" of this video.
Trick 8 - This one is silly. You can grab the springy step shoes and warp over to the train to jump on top of Chuffy's invisible barrier as solo Kazooie. There's not much she can do up there (besides look like a giant, of course).
Trick 9 - For whatever reason, the loading zone for Chuffy -is- inside of the "chuffy barrier." You can reach it with a Clockwork egg and it gives you the "You need to enter here as Banjo and Kazooie together!" message -- even if you are together. If a way was found to clip as them into that loading zone then it could mean a quick Jiggy for the any% route. I think the game softlocks if you try to leave the crashed train, though, so you'd still need Mumbo for 100%.
Epilogue - Giant Kazooie chillin' to the music.
There are obviously more tricks and timesavers in Glitter Gulch Mine without videos and potentially more to discover, so there might be a part 2 of this some day~
