Yeah, so remember that little topic I made earlier about getting 101%? Well, if you want to go a step farther and get 102%, you can. Or you could get 103%. Or 104%. Or 347% (if anyone honestly has that much time on their hands).

It all has to do with the ship missile expansion in Hoverplat Docking Site. This expansion, along with the missile expansion in Gearworks, make up two "special" expansions in this game. They wait to give you the "(Ship) Missile Expansion acquired!" message until afterwards, likely so that you don't let go of the spider track in Hoverplat Docking Site or forget to screw attack in Gearworks. This lack of an acquired message is what leads to the trick. In Hoverplat Docking Site, the message only pops up in those platforms in the center; if you can make it all the way to the platforms by the door, the message won't come up.

Knowing this, wallcrawl into Hoverplat Docking Site and get to the skywalk. From here, activating the terminal fall from anywhere in the room will still put you at the entrance. Now, what you must do is morph and grab the ship missile expansion while falling in midair. When you hit the terminal fall, you'll respawn back by the door. No message will come up, but the percent will go up 1%, similar to the Darkburst in MP2. Here's where the infinite percent comes into play:

By leaving Hoverplat Docking Site and reloading it, the ship missile expansion will actually reappear! It can be picked up once again and everything. Because of this, a series of wallcrawls will grant an infinite amount of percent. I collected it 6 times trying to find a reliable spot to morph to pick it up. What I found was to skywalk directly above the spider track running parallel to the ship missile a few feet away. Face straight along the spider track so the expansion is off to the left and morph. As soon as you morph, hold left and Z to strafe and unmorph. You should pick up the ship missile along the way down. I have a video, but of course, if anyone wants to make a better quality one, feel free.



I'm pretty sure the trick won't work for the missile in Gearworks because the message pop-up point extends throughout the platforms with the exit doors. To go along with that, the destroyed gears above the missile probably make it impossible to fall onto. Anyone can try it if they want to, though, because it would allow for an easier wallcrawl.

This is definitely my favorite "useless" sequence break now! :P

lol.  just lol.
excellent find sir

what's up with that. incredibly weird programming at work here.

Two bit's it queues the event "Item get!" until after the morphball section, but the way they coded the terminal fall code resets all event queues that are room dependent.
lol wut, I never knew there was anything special about those expansions. very nice find.
Now someone with no life has to create a highest% record.
Nah, they need to go further and loop it around to 0%. Lowest low% in the trilogy! >_> <_<

Based on how high the rollover could be... they might be playing for years...

There's no reason why Retro would bother setting it up to go to 4+ digits. The most likely rollover candidate is 256, as it almost always is.
ANKOKU
I seem to remember seeing a victory screen somewhere that had a 16k % total. AR'd of course, but it was definitely higher than 256.
rocks, locks, and invisible blocks
not my video but if primes max% is 13335% I think corruptions will be higher
ANKOKU
Yeah that was it.
Well, that's... odd. I can't imagine any reason why they'd set it so high, let alone to something so random, but whatever.

Still want to see it happen.
ANKOKU
They probably just used an int, which (like most number holding data types) is 32 bit. Which is 2^(8*4).
Though the video's percent is roughly 1/2 of what I'd expect. (3k under actually)
red chamber dream
seems like most programmers don't bother using unsigned ints so the max might be half that (2147483647). but who knows.
zomg ark wut u doin hea

Does this further increase your ship missile capacity (Not that you could ever use them up)?
Anywhere, everywhere

Yeah


what's the limit of them?

can you get like 255 and stuff?
red chamber dream
scroll up
ANKOKU
He means like how Missiles are limited to 255, are ship missiles limited the same way or are they unlimited?

You can get over 11, which is supposed to be the max, so I would guess 255 is the actual max.

4 years later edit!!! lol I'm a dirty liar

So, today we found out that this is actually way easier than we thought it was and doesn't even require going out of bounds. Miles made a video. Trigger viewing is pretty nice. There's more info in the description.
