Due to the awesome people supporting me over at my ko-fi page (link in bio) the donation goal there was met in no time and I was able to grab a N64 console in excellent shape.
With this, I'll be able to develop and troubleshoot Amped Up and other MK64 mods on real hardware.
Nice!
It's just an innocent bug, right?
The behavior routine for the scuttlebug is refined now. It serves well for another course hazard.
Expect the course to be done in the near future!
