How Obama Skip Changed New Pokemon Snap

Having only been released for a few short months, New Pokemon Snap was highly anticipated, coming 22 years after the first installment in the series.
Obviously a game this hyped would have speedrunners waiting to tear it apart, and out of the gate they realized one thing; the game is very well put together, but the two glitches we're looking at today prove that if there's a way to save time, speedrunners will find it, however unlikely it may be.

Is this really considered a glitch? I see it more as a Strat.
Then again, I never played this one, not just yet.

[@webbowser8834]

Yeah, this is more of a strat then a glitch. The line can definitely be blurry at times, but this one looks like pretty clear cut behavior manipulation that you can see in normal-ish play.
The Xerneas thing towards the end is prolly a glitch.

[@jcnot9712]

Came because of the funny title. Stayed for the informative explanation on Pokemon Snap speedrunning. Great video.

[@woolfgangmozrt20]

those words while ordinary on their own, make for a strange yet appealing video title when put together in that order.

[@luka_8]

I am only somewhat interested in pokemom snap, only barely interested in speedruns but this title was so absurd I just had to know what it was about

[@sagacious03]

This was pretty interesting! I really like runs where the mechanics have a big impact, as opposed to it being a matter of if the runner can input good enough or not.
Neat video! Thanks for uploading!

[@Nakata2021]

I watched only to know why it's called "obama Skip"

[@MetronaJ]

I could tell immediately why but clicked anyway XD

"There's one skip left to cover, and that's subscribing so you don't accidentally skip out on the next video." That was a really smooth transition. Earned my subscription there.

Good to see the speedrunning community is already putting in some cool work on Snap!
As an aside, I once managed to skip the teleport animation at the end of the level with what I think was taking a picture on the same frame it triggered. So that was neat.

Actually the color of the stars is just based on your score; it's the number of stars that varies by behavior and counts as different shots.
