Title: New Adventure Island Skateboard Resurrection Glitch
Post by: gheebee on August 16, 2016, 08:05:29 PM: A while back I mentioned this glitch and at least one person wanted to see it, so here it is. Just kill yourself by jumping on an enemy as it flies over a skateboard and you will come back to life as your body slides down the screen and lands on the skateboard. I did this in Ootake so I could use save state in case I messed up but I originally found it while just playing the Hu Card on my Core Grafx.

As I was uploading I started to wonder if it would deduct 1 life or 2 for this since you technically die twice, but I always have more than nine lives when I get here. One of these days I'll get there with fewer lives and see how many actually get deducted.
