@C_F oooh, I was thinking that was what you meant. I was thinking of mostly items, 1ups, and stuff, granted I didn't really define it in my post.

@electrode I thought I heard of that before! Feels a bit iffy, but I put the DKC secret on here where technically DK is blasted out of the house at the start and scrolls it off screen. So I'm gonna allow it due to my own idiocy.

@Zotol oooooh, a good one. Especially since you could end up skipping it without thinking it does anything.

@theia yeah, I thought Banjo-Kazooie had one, but I wasn't entirely sure. I was kinda banking on someone coming through and confirming for me, lol. thank you.

@DeltaWDunn I think for the benefit of the list I'll try to keep "necessary for progression" stuff away, since it opens a big can of worms I think, at least if it's to a path to the normal ending as opposed to a special or alternate one. thank you!

@C_F can you be a bit more specific? It's been a bit since I speedran the game, and I don't 100% it lol.
