How to swallow shell/jump off it at the same time?

Kaizo

Hello, everyone, I've been wondering how to swallow a shell and jump off of it at the same time with Yoshi. I've been *trying* to kind of get into ColonThree, and I found this glitch super hard. Can someone help explain to me how to do it?

Possible reasons you're having trouble with it:
- The shell frame rule is not working out. Shells have a rule that they can only stick to Yoshi's tongue every other frame. Try the glitch on a few other frames and see if you can get it to work.
- Yoshi is not low enough or the shell is not high enough. Yoshi's tongue is a tile above his feet, so Yoshi has to be at least one pixel lower than the shell for it to stick to his tongue. This also means the glitch can not be done while the shell is on the ground.
- The tongue is hitting the shell too early or late. This one should be fairly obvious if it happens, as all it means is that you're not pressing X/Y on the right frame.

Actually, I was wondering how to do it. I've done it a couple of times, but just by chance...

Yoshi's tongue must collide with the shell on the same frame that you pound on it. Swallowing a shell that's moving and bouncing off of it makes yoshi's hitbox disappear, meaning that you'll bounce without being hit.
The same goes for the springboard swallow glitch, which is exactly the same, just a different item.
Also, if you're TASing ColonThree, you'll need to know pretty much every pit glitch in the book. The only one that we didn't include was the one at the beginning of LOTE, which actually turned out pretty easy.

Try this for stationary shells:

Hold up and press X or Y. This sets Yoshi's tongue above the shell.


Release up.


Run over the shell at approximately the same time Yoshi's tongue hits it. Savestates, rewinds, and slowdown greatly aid this process. If you screw up, keep trying!


Done!


I assume Colon Three has an airborne trick, though.

What you mean?

It can be done with the shell on the ground.

What I was more referring to was doing a shelljump in the air or without slowing down. Since Yoshi doesn't duck unless he's on the ground for more than a frame, you can't avoid slowing down if it's on the ground unless it's on a corner.

Also, 0208Z, if you are to jump across a giant pit, you can jump at 49 speed, and then on certain frames when you spit it out, the shell might appear closer to yoshi, in which you maintain your 49 speed the whole time, you can still bounce off of the shell and re-swallow it as well.
