Crazy weird glitch: a mine made me invincible... kinda

[Lancer873]

So, I was playing through 36-3: Planding makes perfect, and I accidentally fell down onto a mine covered wall. Apparently, by jumping at just the right time, I survived being blown up, somehow. (Yes, the mine exploded) After that, I tried going back over to a bounce-pad, but it wouldn't shoot me up, so I tried suiciding against the mine-covered wall, and it wouldn't blow me up any more. I made my way up into the zap-drone filled area, and they couldn't see me or shock me. I couldn't activate the buttons though, so I just jumped off a high ledge and the fall did kill me. I have a couple screenshots via the replay if you need some proof. I doubt it'd be easy to recreate this glitch, but it happened, so I just thought I'd bring it up.


Here's the screenshots:


This is right before the explosion, I wasn't able to time it right to get a good screenshot of the explosion taking place, but here's proof that there was indeed a mine there, at least.


Here's the same place, just a bit after the explosion. The mine is gone, and the bounce pad won't launch me up.


Here I'm right up against a mine, and no explosion.

Another mine one. A bit late, but take a look at where the dust-prints from the wall jump are and you should see that I should have been within the mine's trigger range.


Here's one where I'm standing right inside a zap drone, and nothing's happening.

So... yeah. Anyone ever seen this before?

Yeah, this has definitely been discovered long ago. It's happened to me before, too.
It's pretty rare, though, so congrats, I guess?

It happens whenever a death occurs during the same frame that you hit a launchpad. It's not too rare, but it's a cool effect.

This glitch is very old and very common. It happens any time you die the same frame you hit a launchpad or get propulsion from any type of object. ie. glitched doors or thwumps. You will now be able to run around and you will not interact with any objects, only tiles. Thus you can still climb walls and run on tiles, you can also die (again) by falling to your death, chimneying in to a ceiling, or being crushed in a squeeze.

I think he was excited about the new glitch. :(

But yeah, this glitch is as common as they get, it's pretty easy to do on a lot of levels that have mines near launchpads.

I suppose I'm biased, because I never play this fucking game anymore.

What? I am not a... zero one one zero zero zero one zero... zero one one zero one one one one... zero one one one zero one zero zero... two?

Anyways. I can't say I'm surprised to learn that this was already discovered, but I don't think I hit a launch pad. I seem to remember being in a walljump right after hitting the mine in question... maybe it was just that through some crazy-timed lag I walljumped right as I blew up? Or it could just be my bad memory, I dunno. Well, whatever, interesting to learn. Thanks guys.

I deleted that post.

And Lancer, I am 100% sure you hit the LP, there was no other way to get propulsion there and that is the key to making the glitch happen. It has been time tested. It always happens when you get propulsion from a non-deadly object the same frame you hit a deadly object.

I have had this before too!!! I thought I was the only one but, I guess not! The way it happend to me was I was playing a level and I got caught in the the sights of a chaser and, it hit me right when I landed on a bomb AND got hit by a rocket. I had one other time the EXACT same way you did, same level and everything. I never really thought of it as being invincible, I always thought of it being more like a ghost.
