Majora's Mask for 3DS - Info and Version Differences

[gabyelnuevo]

Made this little thing sometime ago if it could be faster im guessing for intro sequence, is not 100% consistent since you can fall down very easily without grabbing the ledge but i think is something =P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUI4qGli2qI

dumb question but curious: is there a way to get over the spikes on the way to ikana w/o epona? been lurking & haven't found an answer but dunno another way to do it on 3DS

Goron boost over them using Bubbles that appear at night.

GIM with the 50r chest deletes your ocarina apparently?? On the gear screen, it only shows the ocarina of time (not the pipes, drums, or guitar). Tatl keeps bugging you about 3 days and termina field is in it's 1st cycle state. The skull kid isn't holding an ocarina, which probably means that the glitch didn't delete my ocarina, just put some other item over the ocarina 'slot' that we can't use. Interesting stuff!

GIM with a fish/bug gives text which will softlock unless you swim into the murky water while getting it. It gives you moon's tear.

Also, tatl dive with the triple slash works

Anything on Goron roll Weird B yet? Elder is apparently covered in a snowball on Final Day.

Messing around with some of these discoveries last night, had a pretty good time.  Got the bomb-only Great Bay early jump a few times.  Tried the jump to skip the 1st part of the Pirates' Fortress and got it first try!  And then couldn't get it again in two hours.  And then just for fun went to see what would happen if you got fire arrows before the bow.  You can equip them and pull out the bow, but the game won't ever give you arrows (and you can't buy them) unless you have the bow item.

Still, having the hookshot early basically lets you destroy Woodfall and Snowhead obviously.

Also I really like that they put that opening back in the Pirates' Fortress that lets you go into the hookshot room from above without having to go outside.

I was trying it earlier but I think it gave beans like the original. Tbh, I didn't test it very much because I was kinda tired of it at that point and I don't actually have the beans item. I think I heard that 'can't use items' noise though, which is consistent with using beans when you have 0

Use any Item anywhere as Link (and possibly other forms)
Get Blank B (I actually think this is dimmed B, but it's kinda hard to tell because the interface is different on 3DS. If this is dimmed B, then that's what you need, and that's also what dying after stealing fishing rod as link gives you. someone with more MM knowledge may know.)
A quick method of getting it is using Transformation Storage when starting H&D (from link to another form), fail it instantly, take off mask & leave the house.
When you activate Down A, you're able to use all items for the duration of it.
If you pull out the ocarina and then put it away all buttons on the lower screen will become grayed out, and the interface will be hidden on the upper screen. You can still use the items even though they are grey, and time is passing even though you can't see the clock.

Giant's Mask crashes as always. This makes it possible to use Fierce Deity anywhere (where you can get Down A as link) if you have the mask.

It may be possible with other forms as well, but we'd need a way to get Down A on those forms, and a way for them to get Blank B (dimmed B?).

Edit:
You can get Sword on B as Zora & Goron by playing H&D. It does not work for Deku.
Use transformation storage to start the game as Zora.
Put the Mask away in your inventory (so that you don't have it on one of your 4 buttons), this will make you transform back into Link. (Doing this with the Deku Mask will not make him take off the mask, so it will not work. I suspect this is related to first cycle where you can stay as deku even without Mask equipped)
Now end the minigame and exit the building without turning into the form you used before again.
Turn back to the form you used again outside the building. You will get Sword on B.
Note that kokiri sword on B as zora is the same as regular fins, so you won't notice a difference unless you have Razor or Gilded Sword.
For Goron Link all swords act as the regular punch, so you won't see any difference.

Note: If you take on the mask again after the minigame is over inside the building, you will get Weird B.

Doesnt do anything right now, but "Quick-PutAway" from OoT 1.0 is back in the silliest form in MM3D, pick up the Moon's Tear for the first time with any item on hand he'll "quick put away" it http://youtu.be/5nXiK2fL4t8
This might be due to the cutscene that plays after you pick it up, this can potentially turn into action swap or something.

I also (need to do it again to see again, this is from up top of my head) i think i got a quickdraw in snowhead temple from beating the mini boss for fire arrows and from the cutscene that plays to open the door and etc,

I'm confused. The ocarina is not grayed out while I'm doing down A, but it isn't being taken out when I press it.

Not sure if this has already been discovered by someone else and/or talked about, and pretty sure this isn't in the original version of Majora's Mask, but I found out yesterday morning that while climbing (i.e. ladders and vines) if you mash B while holding up to climb, Link will climb faster. Not sure how helpful this can be for speed runs, as I don't speed run MM as well as don't really watch much runs so don't know how many things are climbed, but seems to be a bit helpful for casual stuff, like climbing the wall before getting the Goron Mask. Overall, found it to be a bit interesting and thought it may help to share.

Whats the best way to do a gainer on 3ds? I managed to do moon tear skip, but that was without retargeting. Gainer with zora is really hard.

You could pause buffer with the home menu, but it's not that hard to just work up muscle memory.

[poww10s]

If you pause buffer though wouldn't you have to keep holding L?
