Popular Post CravingClarity Posted November 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) So after reading the post claiming Lumo to be delisted it made me panic and decide playing it finally, after sitting on my hard drive since way back when it was a Plus title. Loved the game and smashed through all the trophies in the past week, besides completing the old school run. After a couple of decent practice runs in the last two days, I started up another run today and was doing waaaay worse than before and nearly restarted. Anyway, about halfway through the game, being down to 5 lives (losing one carelessly in a room I never died in before) I noticed that the lives counter in the upper right didn't show up. Then I died again, and again. Still wasn't showing. When I next collected an extra life, it showed 6. At first I thought it must be a display glitch, but this carried on for the rest of the run. Each extra life taking the counter up by 1 and my many deaths didn't count against it. I finished the game with 17 lives to my name, and having died easily 30+ times by the end, and yes the trophy did pop. Platinum achieved. I've got video of the part of the game where it started to glitch on me, so I might test to see if the conditions are repeatable. If so, this could become a much easier platinum for the community.

Flop Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Has anyone managed to recreate this glitch? Or was it purely a random glitch you managed to trigger accidentally so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CravingClarity Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 I never had any feedback about it and never tried again myself so probably quite random. I didn't expect much response really, for just a little-played title. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't expect much response really, for just a little-played title. Yeah, was wondering if anyone ever reached you. I got the plat, but I’d still like to see if there’s any possible methods players can use if having trouble with beating Old School. Maybe you just got extremely lucky randomly so, and it was just a fluke. Thanks for posting this though, maybe someone is willing to recreate this, or something similar to this. I didn’t stumble into any exploits that I could manipulate, so I’ve nothing to add to this possible method. Haven’t seen anyone else mention in where they got lucky you did, neither.

Scarred_LWolf Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) I have tried the method which was mentioned by CravingClarity and i can confirm that it worked. The glitch will work when you drop down on just before the mini game just like the video. The game must got confused after dropping on mini games so that probably got glitched.. Funny though Thank you so much! This game is very frustrating and hard especially the ice places.. Good job! I am sure that it will help some players! Also i tested this on physical disc with updated version to 1.02. Edited January 21, 2021 by Scarred_LWolf 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CravingClarity Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 Well I'm glad it was repeatable after all! I was wondering if it was that death that glitched. It really is the only time I died like that. Lack of concentration! Well done on your platinum ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmokeeper Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 This awesome post just convinced me to finally get the game since I've been holding off for the longest time due to my trepidation for the harder trophies in the game and specifically Old Skool Daze. So this is a repeatable positive glitch if I understand you guys correctly? It works every time following the steps required to make it glitch? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone else also share their experience in being able to repeat this glitch? If this is in fact legit, I will finally go back to plat this game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightfox_78 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 yup it works because without this method i wouldn't have got the plat for this game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulNinjo Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 How does this glitch work? I tried 2 times dying in the same area of the video and it didn't work. Do I need to complete the mini game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoonerLukeThe Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 is this still a thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CravingClarity Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) Yes this is still a thing, people are still getting it to work. The game hasn't been patched and probably never will now. For anyone struggling to make it work, I can only say copy the video as closely as possible - choose the same mini game, die where I die etc. I'm not an expert on how or why the method works, I'm just the one who found it.

L0rdAceX Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Does seem like you have to actually finish the minigame because I failed it and it didn't work :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timpurnat Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Does this work on the digital version that was put back in the store last year? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm it does, as I just popped the plat myself using this method!! I am playing on said digital version specifically. A few things to note... You DEF need to finish "Marble Madness", otherwise it doesn't work. It wasn't until the 4th try I finally got through it in time! The previous 3 tries did nothing... I even tried hopping off at the same spot before that minigame, then running to one of the other games (The Q*Bert one). I finished it but it didn't work. In summation, you must die before entering the minigame like OP did. Then you def have to finish the Marble Madness minigame too for it to work. I died in slightly different spots during the course of the minigame, but it still worked. Good luck to anyone going for this legit, that back half of the game is ROUGH! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A210221100 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 The glitch still works got the trophy with it about an hour ago. At first i thought that i will need this glitch just to go past the room with the chains but let me tell you it goes downhill after that you are not finishing old-school without it, the only way to do it legit is if you grind the game endlessly like a speed runner will do to have everything memoriesed and even then you are bound to make mistakes because a lot of the rooms are badly build and are not suited for this fixed camera angle. It could have been better if you had full control and you could rotate the room or put it in a top down view but as the game is now its just badly designed in some parts. So if anyone in the future tries this game and wants to go for the plat just do the glitch for the old-school run if you dont want to waste your time, follow this speedrun video and the run will take around 2 hours not counting the resets you will have to do if you fail the ball minigame. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
