Pokemon X/Y make it even more clear.
Korrina sends weaksauce pokemon in her gym leader battle, but when you get your mega she sends a lucario that you can't actually beat.
Later in the game you can face all the gym leaders randomly in the Battle Chateau, and they will have stronger pokemon than their gym battles (except for Wulfric, i think), similarly the opposite happens with the Elite 4, since in the battle chateau you're just battling for fun, they actually send pokemon weaker than their Elite 4 Battles.

Would it be possible to reach the boss with Forest Water on the first pass through the dungeon?

Don't you just get it from the stream where the Great Deku Tree sits?
It's an amazing find, on par with using the grapple beam to kill Draygon in Super Metroid.

I thought the Grapple Beam trick was old though? I could've sworn I remembered reading about that trick in a gaming magazine not even a year after that game came out.

In 1994 and 1995 I couldn't afford gaming magazines. We were so poor I could barely pay attention
I was a grown man by the time I found out it was a thing.

For the Resident Evil: Director's Cut on PS1, somebody thought this music was a good idea and used it for the mansion basement:

Came here for this. I cannot believe speedrunners didn't figure this out before now.

Psh. Come back to the thread when you have something that beats a missing pixel or the Paxton/Schwarzenegger/Van Damme epic.

The fact that the image of Krystal is no longer viewable in the OP disappoints me
That's an incredibly cool easter egg for Nintendo to put in the game. Super specific way of beating the boss no one would normally think of. And yet it makes a slight degree of sense. That's kinda rad.
WOAH

Can we be sure it's intentional?

Speedrun kills it even quicker, using bombs. And it would waste a lot of time to have a bottle by that point in the run. I'm only familiar with the GC run, but I assume the same is true in the HD version.

We are talking about Zelda, im pretty sure its intentional...

The Super Mario Bros "pick up a mushroom" sound is the "level complete" tune sped up four or five times or so (and cut a bit at the end).
Noticed it in this video on overclocking (and underclocking) the GBC: https://youtu.be/nwJQxD8LLNY?t=57
lol I just downloaded the sound and played a bit with the duration, stretch and pitch and the result is quite similar.

If you hold the attack button to kick and hit a potted plant in Dead Rising, Frank will hold his foot and hop like in a cartoon.
Also, Jet Moto was apparently just a standard motorcross game at one point.

And Wave Race 64 looked like this during its prototype stage:

And the final version went in a completely different opposite direction with non-futuristic Jet Skis.
That might have been why they had her do the iDroid notifications as well.

I mean... when working with such a limited sound chip, I'm sure a LOT of things sound similar if you adjust the speed and pitch.

If this is the case I'm 100% certain she does the Outrun 2 menus as well.

No. Music doesn't work that way. It has nothing to do with the limitations of the sound chip. It has to do with something called "themeing".
Banjo-Kazooie has it too. There are several variants of any particular level theme to fit the different situations. For example Treasure Trove Cove has a variant for being on land, being near Capt. Blubbers ship, being inside the seashell, being underwater and being in the sand castle.
Every variant has the exact same melody, but the instruments, speed and sometimes pitch are changed to fit the mood of the particular place you are in.
Super Mario Bros. using the same 24 (I think) note melody for collecting a power-up and ending a level are a more primitve form of this. But it has nothing to do with limitations. It's a choice.
Lmao I never noticed but this would go in line with her singing Life Was a Bore.
I think I hear her voice when choosing songs, "MAGICAL Sound Shower!"
Thats awesome. All these years and know one knew until now. Amazing.

post #70.
That's not the first time they're doing this... For example, the Maridia Boss in Super Metroid is killed instantaneously if you use the grappling beam on the electric devices when he bites you.
I also love how Squaresoft put an undead as the Final boss of Final Fantasy Mystic Quest... And Cure DOES work on him... killing the first two forms with a single Cure, and the last two with two more.
It's not instantaneous and it does considerable damage to Samus in the process, but it's still pretty damn quick.
I'd heard how easy mode Mystic Quest was, but come the fuck on now... Seriously?

Someone needs to make a youtube video of Nintendo bosses that can be secretly killed in 1 hit.
We have Draygon from Super Metroid, which can be electrocuted for an easy win.
Naval Piranha from Yoshi's Island which can be killed before the battle even starts.
And now that boss from Wind Waker.
There has to be others.

Love stumbling onto stuff like that. I remember having trouble with the final boss in Final Fantasy Tactics. Started trying all sorts of different abilities and found that Drain does massive damage to him. Managed to finish him off in a handful of turns.

That Zelda thing is fucking cool. Someone needs to go back and fight every Zelda boss with every non-weapon item now.

I'm at work so I can't watch it, but are we sure it's not a glitch? Which version did they test this on? Does it work on both the original and HD version?
