![]() The soundtrack for this area (and the game as a whole come to think of it, although we never made it that far) was unnecessarily eerie and with Decepticons blending in as normal cars that would attack you at any moment, it kind of had you on edge the whole time you played. It's a bit difficult to talk about going out of bounds in an unfinished game without mentioning the liminality of it all. If a Decepticon were to attack you while you were driving up against the invisible wall at a certain spot, you'll pass through and be able to walk into the field. Another one that I think my brother discovered was by the invisible wall on the northernmost side of the map. This one wasn't very interesting as you'd just respawn above the map once you fell far enough. If you go to this sort of scrapyard and slowly drive up to one of the dumpsters from the side, you'll just pass through and fall into the ground. One I remember discovering was in the first level when you're playing as Bumblebee. We didn't realize it at the time because we were stupid or something but the game is very broken and clearly unfinished and as a result, most of our time was spent finding fun glitches to try out. One of my first consoles as a kid was the PS3 (I'm young, I know) and my brother and I would often play Transformers: The Game. There are some insane speedruns where people are able to get to the end of the game simply by getting enemies to follow them, and damage boosting past an area they would normally need the feather or hookshot to get past. Link's Awakening Switch on the otherhand, it not so much that it is glitched as much as there are ways you can exploit the fact the whole game takes place on one plain to access areas early and go places you shouldn't be able to go. ![]() Plus if you wander around some of these areas and interact with some of the characters, you'll get text that doesn't match the characters your interacting with, including some unused text, and some creepy pasta levels of dialogue. There are some that will warp you into different areas of the map, to dungeons where all the graphics are glitched, and even to the end of the game. ![]() ![]() For some reason, there is a warp tile behind the geometry of Bow Wow's house that can warp you anywhere depending on the number of enemies you have slain. Made it even more surreal.Īctually, Link's Awakening DX may be more busted than the original thanks to Ura world you can access by walking into the corner of Bow Wow's house. They weren't supposed to, ofc, but whatever happened with the coding when you screen warped worked such a number on the game, that some enemy sprites would toggle NPC dialogue when you tried to attack them. If it works in an emulator you should definitely try it, because it's one of the more "feature rich" out of bounds areas in a game.Įdit: oh yeah, and enemies would talk to you sometimes. Tried it with the DX version and this newest Switch tilt-shift version, hoping some kind of Easter Egg tribute to it would be there. Nethack, Rogue, and Angband were my only experiences and I didn't like them as much as I liked LoZ back then. I don't even think it was a term back then and if it was, I certainly didn't know about it. This was like 93 or 94 so roguelikes weren't really a thing at all. ![]() I loved it when I was a kid because the randomness and unexpectedness of the warp was so exciting to me, as was trying to map out exactly what part of a given map would cause certain glitches and warps. Duneon layouts changed and became nonsense, NPCs grew arms out of their faces, enemies became even stranger.and it usually yeeted you to some random part of the overworld.ĭoing it in caves and dungeons was even crazier. If you hit select at just the right moment, all the sprites wonked out and swapped parts, and you were warped into some kind of Koholint Upsidedown. So in normal gameplay, the screen swiped when you transitioned from one screen to another. On the original LoZ: Link's Awakening (OG GB): screen warp glitch. ![]()
