As you may know, I'm trying my best to speedrun Dream Team while also getting as much done as possible. My current progress right now is finding the tour guide for Mount pajamaja but I am in the desert trying to see if I could grab some of the pi'illo folk before heading off, this lead me to discovering a few things with the sequence break I did with the desert skip.

First of all, I thought the trigger that changed the room's sequence was being in the room with the dream stone early and entering the main dig site with the Zeekeeper statues, however, it was just being in the room that altered the room's state. That also lead to another sequence break where if you went the intentional path (main dig site to drill areas), you will still be going to a softlock as the last pi'illo you need will not appear and upon triggering the cutscene with the drill boss, they will interact with an invisible pi'illo and lock your game.

I may also add that the room was also in a different state where the blockage that normally stops you from going right of the drill site entry is no longer there. I forgot it entirely when I first lost my save file on first playthrough since I've not played the game in years. Even Starlow said the line that you'll need the drill to catch up with the drill boss.

This was my small discovery with doing the glitches, I'll have to rewind to before I entered the dig site to see if I can do any more out of sequence (also small note, getting the bros attacks in a different area does not result in getting the bros attack in battle, you need the first ones or else you'll be stuck with jumps and hammers as your only attacks. Game made with duct tape and a dream)

Hey guys, me again who said he'll do glitches and skips on his playthrough of Dream Team. How you doing? Uh, instead of playing my other save file (which was pretty much at the end of the game), I instead opted to just replay the entire game from the beginning because that other save file, my young naive self had nothing for me to work with. Where my good gear? My good stats? I was level 27 midway in Neo Bowser Castle! And I just had to leave a lot of the pi'illo folk around annoying areas to get to. Ah well.

This time, I'm relying on both save files so that if one file softlocks and I can't do anything to fix it, I can use the other to rewind to a state where I can still progress. I will try to not break the game enough to not 100% it but enough to skip the annoying parts like the tutorials and such (although there are mandatory ones I need to go back for).

This game is made with duct tape I swear

Well guys, I did some glitches and found out that you should never save your game when you move stuff out of order.

I skipped the entirety of the desert in my current save by doing the glitch that let's you jump a frame after a battle, only went back to try and 100% the area, but by going to places out of order I ended up moving the drill somewhere else and now I'm locked in a cutscene. I thought that maybe saving before entering an area would be good but I think the game may have thought I saved close enough to the cutscene trigger(?), dunno but now the bros is stuck in the centre of the area where the dig site lady wants to give you the drill tutorial.

Oh well, time to play my other save that's already at Neo Bowser castle, skipping the ultibed and Zeekeeper giant battle.
