Shortcut in a $ mint...."How'd you do that??"

[Miss Murky MizzenMarble]

I was just wondering if anybody can fill me in on the secret of a shortcut.

I have recently started going into the mints in $ HQ. I am not sure which floor this shortcut is on, but basically...

The toon goes into the room and turns right immediately where tucked around the corner is a barrel of ice cream and then procedes to jump over it next to the wall. I can see toons opening their books for a moment, then close them and up they go to the platform above containing about 5 more barrels of toon ups and gags.....meanwhile I run over to the stairs, make my way up, then jump a series of moving equipment to get to where they are....

How do you take that shortcut, what do you choose or click on in the book while behind the barrel....

Can anytoon help me out....

Thanks!

that sounds like the room with the stomper, the pile of bills, and the giant spinning gear. I can confirm this "glitch" because I've seen it happen before.

You just open your book while you're as close to the wall as possible. Close it after about 5? seconds and you'll be in the gray area. It doesn't always work for me though.

Close it after about 5? seconds

I close it after something like .... 0,000001 second and it works

When you are in that room, jump as close to the wall as possible, and keep running twoards it. While you are running, open your book, and KEEP PRESSING THE "UP" ARROW! Close it, and you should be in the grey area. Repeat steps if it doesn't work.

Jump in behind the barrel and turn your toon until the camera starts glitching/screen shakes. Open your book and close it and you should see gray. Then just turn to the left and walk onto the platform!

Less well known:
There is an area w/ gray walls where you ride a little lift up to a catwalk where you have to walk past pistons that try to push you into a goon pit. Get onto the lift and jump into the corner until you drop down. Then do the book thing and walk around the goon pit. Surprise your friends on the other side!!!

From the sounds of it, it's the room with big gears that you have to jump on/across, and a stomper that you have to get past to get to a higher platform where there are 2 toonup barrels and 3 gagup barrels, next to a hallway leading to the next room. This is a rather well known glitch, read below...

The way that works for me is this: When you get into that room, turn right and get inbetween the barrel and the corner on the right of the barrel. Then turn left until you are facing between the barrel and the wall at about a 90º angle. At this point, the screen should seem jumpy (even a little bit). Then hold down the UP key so that you are running. While doing that (don't let go of that button), press the ESC key to open and close the book. Just keep hitting it 2 times in a row until you are in grey space when it closes. Now once you are in grey space, move forward a little then turn left. If you are level with the platform with the barrels, then just run directly onto it. If not then run to the hallway/steps leading to the next room (that will align you with the floor level) and then you can run back to the presents.

I will warn you though that it can backfire. On time it locked up on me where I could chat still with an sf or 2 that were in there, but I couldn't do anything else. I couldn't move, TP or anything. I told my SF's to go ahead and finish, and once they finished dancing, I was TP'd back to the CBHQ playground and everything was fine then.

Stand in the corner by the barrel till your screen shakes, and then just open your book, and close it, no need to push escape, up, or anything else, and no need to wait a certain amount of time

It works better if you are pushing the up button (rarely works for most people, including me, if you don't push the up button), and pressing the ESC key opens and closes the book faster than pressing the F8 key and is faster than clicking the book icon. For those that are able to do it without pushing the UP key, good for them. But chances are it would work more often and sooner if they tried using it.

Off topic: how is ur post count 1 if u made 2?

On topic: sometimes when i go to the room where theres those lifts, goons at the pit and a barrel at the end, when i ge on the first lift and i push in the wall, sometimes i end up in the grey and skip ahead to the supervisor, if my friends make it there lol. how do u do that?

There's another shortcut that you can do in the bullion mint. At the beginning, there might be a pile of gold bars near the wall. You can do basically the same glitch and possibly skip a few obstacles (depends on which thing is next.

The post that starts a thread doesn't add to the post count.

Their post count was 1 before their 2nd post (I had noticed it when I first was reading the thread). So it's some other reason.

To add a little more to the discussion this doesn't work on all computers at all screen resolutions. You have to get behind the barrel for it to work and if you can't try a different screen resolution or switch between full screen and windowed mode until hopefully it works.
