does not being able to bop a bullet while on a rope count as double sprite glitch

You can bop most things while on a rope/net; vertical/diagonal bills are just wacky as far as I know.

Re: VIP 5 2019 - Like underworked fire brigades to a kid whose pet is stuck in a tree
SomeGuy712x mentioned in the comments that Mario can't bop while climbing upward. In what he refers to as the "ascending glitch", it sounds like the game assumes that if Mario has upward speed, he didn't land on whatever he collided with. Also, it doesn't matter if the rope itself is moving upward/downward or whether Mario is currently being stopped by the top of the rope, only whether Mario is attempting to climb upward.
That would make vertical/diagonal bills seem wacky because they're the ones that are most likely to run into Mario's feet while he's climbing upward.
And the double sprite glitch is (again according to SomeGuy712x) a variation on the ascending glitch. He doesn't elaborate, but I would imagine that the game checks collisions one at a time, the first sprite to get checked changes Mario's vertical speed, and then the second sprite to get checked sees Mario as already ascending, even though that same frame he actually descended. If that is in fact how it works, I would also guess that a spinjump onto two enemies that will both be crushed into dust won't trigger it (and if only one will be crushed, it'll be sprite-slot-dependent), but that's really straying from the subject of Mario on a rope vs a vertical bullet.

If the level name doesn't make sense, Horikawa probably would translate it to So Drastic it's Depressing!, if that makes sense.

Observes that a particular object is solid; roughly a minute later, when encountering that object again, tries to climb the rope holding it up rather than just standing on it.
That's our raocow.

Wagokoro (the SUPER guy) did not contribute anything to VIP 5 or any of the earlier VIPs, but is indeed listed as a "project leader" in the VIP 6 credits! So get excited if that ever comes to fruition
He also did levels in ASPE, if anyone remembers that...
Oh, and the message at the end there is talking about the secret exit of the forest castle. I suppose once you first get there you won't have all the switches pressed and are expected to leave it be for now, which is why they remind you of it here.
It kind of goes to show that they do expect that secret exit route to be "endgame difficulty", which makes a lot of sense.

in today's episode, raocow does the opposite of this

Oh, man, that meta bit about doing LPs and people watching for vicarious playthrough reasons that you had near the end, man, that's pretty gosh darn accurate, at least for me!
Had a lot of 12-hour days this week, hopefully today goes well and I'll be able to be off work before 6PM for once

Re: VIP 5 2019 - Like options to those who value choice
I really want a mario screaming type video with the HOOOOO that raocow let out when he got the midpoint.
Also, nice graph Koba. This is a meaty level, although i'm not sure how common the clean-up practice raocow does is to begin with, and how expected it is to do.

Re: VIP 5 2019 - Like options to those who value choice
This is from the VIP wiki, I just localized it.
It's roughly the same in Japanese, but:
Rampart is Upwards Scroll
Mold is Logs
Sewers is Water Current
Matrix is Iron Ball
Gravity is Low Gravity
If I had to name these levels myself (spoilers for later bowser stages):

Considering the the megaspike and makai areas are by beyrevia (Labyrinth Castle and Absurd Athletic guy), I think the skulls are his own pixel art.

You should make each square link to a different segment of raocow's last two episodes.

The parallax scroll in the fire section is tripping me out. The moon and the clouds are scrolling way too fast for how far back they are, slower than the pillar even. It makes them look like they're closer than the pillars, despite them being behind the pillars.
It makes me want to see an Escher-esque game that deliberately uses wrong parallax perspective for artistic effect. Like Jim Power: The Lost Dimension, except not nauseating. Well... it might not be possible to make it be not nauseating. It would take experimentation to be sure.
