Tongue Glitch Wrong Warping information for any brave soul that wanna try their hand finding the god setup

You should try to use BizHawk and either use hexeditor at CARTRAM @ 0F00 or just RAM watch if you prefer.
As TG corrupts two sprite state values in same frame we need 700F00 or 700F04 (CARTRAM 0F00/0F04) NEED to be either A2 or BC to cancel tongue glitch
Other value could be: (based on some old notes)
00/02/04/06/08/0A/0B/0C/0E/10/12
19/26/2A?/2B/71/78/8B/94/98/99/9A/9F/A2/AE/B2/B3/B4/B9/BC/BF/C7/CD/D5/D8/DB/E9/EE?/F8?/FB/FC
Some other values might not crash but it can be very dependent on what is in RAM and maybe some other values do crash
The Tongue Glitch seems to write 8 bytes every frame so for 0F00 the value should be [ Screen-relative X coordinate ] and 0F04 should be tile number? But honestly with my testing it seems a lot more chaotic than that...

Now you would also need the screen IDs to also give you a screen with a pipe exit you can use. (09/0A for 2-8 for example)
Brunos Lua Script can show you the layout of screens to give you an idea and it is useful in general, just expect to have to toggle it on and off sometimes when you get a tongue glitch crash.

Some things to note is that your position of course matters but if you do an uptongue or backwards, it should yield different results. The camera does jerk around a lot and the values you get do seem very chaotic but there's no reason why it should be random at least and consistency could be possible.

Brunos Lua Script, very useful.

			==Tongue Glitch Wrong Warps (theoretical)==
			Using [[Glitch_List#Tongue_Glitch\|Tongue Glitch]] you can in theory 1-1 warp by corrupting the level terrain data and enter either a pipe or any other exit object (not sprite) on another screen. The issue is that 99.9% of the time Tongue Glitch crashes the game but there are certain value corruption that can cancel it but it would require the [[God Setup]]

Tongue Glitch is a glitch where the game still thinks Yoshi has a sprite in mouth but doesn't. Most common way is spitting out an enemy as you enter save ring (turning it into a star),
			this leads to Yoshi being able to stick out their tongue but can't grab enemies or any other sprite. Getting hit in this state while tongue retracts causes the tongue to not properly reset back and will infinitely travel backwards causing the game to write too many sprite graphic entries, eventually corrupting sprite values and crashing the game (usually).

	In the beginning of the level take a path on top of the trees that leads directly to the key. Tonguing the key (see IL) saves about a half a second. Just flutter into the ceiling, then tongue when you hit the ceiling and immediately hold left. You may need to tongue the key a second time to bring it all the way to Yoshi.
