This video is a direct response to a problem Reddit user Jademalo encountered during a casual playthrough: http://redd.it/31t65h
Put short: one of the Mumbo tokens he wanted to collect disappeared. I investigated it a bit and it turns out the two tokens shown in this video share the same boolean indicator of whether or not they are collected. What does that mean? Well, basically the game tracks which Mumbo tokens you've gotten two ways: first is the counter (as in, how many you currently have that you are able to spend) and the second is a flag as to whether or not a specific Mumbo token has been collected. The way these flags work is based on proximity in most cases. So, if a Mumbo token is collected within a particular proximity, the flag will be set to no longer put that specific Mumbo token in the level next time the terrain is generated.
The "glitch," if you want to call it that (I am in the title for documentation purposes), is that these two Mumbo tokens share the same proximity region, apparently. I'm not an expert, pro, elite hacker (like Coolboyman - check him out: youtube.com/Koolboyman), but this seems to imply the Y axis isn't factored into the proximity since the Mumbo token I collect in the video is so far above the other. Coolboyman explained to me all about how Mumbo tokens work a while ago, so that's how I know about the two trackers thing. Neat!
Anyway, just wanted to put the answer to that mystery out there. We did it Reddit!
(Oh, and yes I know about the Mad Monster Mansion coupling.)
