Exodus122 | Majora's Mask - Moon Warp @exodus122 | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 11 hours ago
Moon Warp was discovered by me and Fasch.
Stale Reference Manipulation (SRM) is a glitch which lets you overwrite actor data or code by unloading an actor which is attached to another actor, then loading something else in its place. In this video, I grabbed a rupee with the Zora Fins, unloaded the rupee, and loaded the owl in its place to modify the Owl Statue data. I worked together with Fasch to find Moon Warp.
Using SRM, we can modify a variable in the Owl Statue which keeps track of which owl statue you saved at. In this video, I modified it to be 14, which is not a normal value for an owl statue. Instead, this value will take you to a location depending on how many ocarina notes you played the last time you pulled out the ocarina (from 0 to 8). I played 6 notes, which is an entrance to Majora. Fasch had the idea to manipulate this variable to 14 and warp to the Moon.
In order to accomplish this, I needed to enter the Southern Swamp from the Woods of Mystery. I dropped a bomb and shot two deku bubbles before going past the loading plane to load a rupee at a specific part of memory. Next, I took the rupee to the loading plane and threw the Zora Fins. After the Zora Fins grabbed the rupee, I turned the camera to prevent the rupee from being on screen as I loaded the other room. In that room I dropped a fish and a bomb, in order to load the Owl Statue at another specific part of memory. I reloaded the room with the owl statue with a very precise position and caught the Zora Fins on the same frame I loaded the room. This overwrote the Owl Save Location variable to 14 and also matched the Object Bank ID to be 11, which is required to not unload the statue. Finally, I played 6 notes on the ocarina and saved at the owl. Reloading the save brought me to Majora.
Shoutouts to GlitchesAndStuff for finding the boomerang SRM glitch which made this possible. Also thanks to Fig, Fasch, and others for researching SRM with me.
