The '''Talkatoo glitch''' | [[File:Talkatoo Glitch Explanation by Fir|thumb|330x330px]] | ||
The '''Talkatoo glitch''' (TTG) is a glitch that occurs when Cappy collides with [[Talkatoo]] just after a conversation with him ends. This glitch can cause many different strange effects, such as locking the camera or causing Mario to float. | |||
The Talkatoo glitch is only possible on [[ | The Talkatoo glitch is only possible on versions [[Version 1.1.0|1.1.0]] and earlier. | ||

If Cappy hits | If Cappy hits talkatoo right after Mario finishes talking to him, then properties of talking can be stored (talkatoo text, restricted/locked camera, mario’s animation change). Once talkatoo finishes being hit by cappy, the camera will lock, Mario will try to enter his talking/standing animation, and Talkatoo’s text will be queued in the place that determines what dialogue appears next. This can all be stored by unloading talkatoo before he’s done being hit. Now the next time you load talkatoo, TTG will activate. The camera will lock in place and Mario will turn towards talkatoo. Talking to an NPC after activating TTG will show talkatoo’s dialogue, then their own dialogue. | ||

If | If you load talkatoo with TTG stored, first the camera will move and mario will start turning. Only once the camera fully locks will Talkatoo’s stored text be usable. So if you load talkatoo, then quickly talk to an NPC before the camera reaches a stop (and locks), the game will let you store mario’s turning animation and talkatoo’s text without having the camera lock be stored. This is called unlocked TTG. With unlocked TTG, loading Talkatoo will do the same things as normal TTG but won’t lock the camera. The camera will slowly pan towards talkatoo while unlocked TTG is stored. | ||

After activating | After activating TT glitch, talkatoo will be in his talking animation and can’t be talked to. Talking to an NPC will reset the camera lock (if there is one) and during the NPC conversation, it will display talkatoo’s 3 messages before the NPC’s own text. Now talkatoo can be talked to again and all the glitched properties should be cleared. Loading a different stage also resets the glitch. | ||
If Talkatoo | If you hit Talkatoo after TT glitch has been activated, then talking to an NPC will store Talkatoo glitch again. You can do this to get as many hints as you want while only having talked to TT one time. | ||

*Activating | *Activating TTG while Mario is throwing Cappy lets Mario interrupt his throwing sequence by turning towards Talkatoo. The sliding property of Mario’s cap throw animation is kept, but it is now indefinite and Mario goes into the idle animation.<ref>https://twitter.com/Pants_alt/status/1407378890927087619</ref> If you slide off a ledge, then Mario will fall slowly and still maintain his sliding glitch. Jumping, throwing Cappy, or entering water will reset Mario to normal animations. | ||

*Activating | *Activating TTG while initiating a ground pound will cause Mario to turn midair and cancel his ground pound, but still stay suspended midair while facing Talkatoo. Doing this over the jump rope area in metro can get you a max score easily. Wandering NPCs can move Mario in this state. Pressing Y or shaking makes Mario dive and return to normal animations. | ||
*Activating | *Activating TTG while throwing Cappy while swimming on the surface of water allows you to continue swimming on the surface, but will have Mario stuck in his standing pose. This gets cancelled when you stop swimming on the surface. | ||

First, you want to get enough moons to have the odyssey say “the odyssey has powered up” the next time you throw Cappy on the globe. Now store unlocked TTG and use it, so that we can use the stored TT text. Throw Cappy on the globe and wait until “The odyssey has powered up” jingle plays. Then press A on the last TT dialogue and the banner will appear. Then close the banner and exit the world map, and TT’s text will be visible while you play. The text gets cleared once you talk to something again or load another stage. | ||
