My best guess for why it only happens in specific cases has to do with object creation/execution order, because this is definitely some kind of race condition for same-frame exits.

Logging the switches that happen, exiting 6-2 simultaneously as Asha (in cases like starting from 6-2) causes the switch to Brooke, then it's reverted... but then it switches again to Brooke. And I guess in normal circumstances, the level would've changed before that second switch can happen, but not in Area 6 since it fades out. I should be able to fix it by double-checking to prevent the second switch. I'll also make it so restarting does actually correct the characters (I'm not sure why I thought it already did).

another suggestion is let me start from intermissions with bombs/boxes, so i dont have to play thru 5-10 every time i wanna do a full practice run of area 6..... (if i start from 6-1 then the moms get my items)

its not a big deal if u cant do that tho since i can just practice 6-2 to 6-10 i guess

if you turn off levvies (i.e. press s with levvies equipped), go through a mute gate, then go through an unmute gate, the levvies will turn back on.... they shouldnt imo

also a weird thing i noticed: mute gates disappear when you pause for some reason??

actually just touching an unmute gate turns levvies on every frame or something..... you cant even turn them off while standing in an unmute gate without unequipping them

Intermission Portabox/Bomb support is in for the next update, as well as changing the scenes between Area 5 and 6 to "intermissions" instead of "cutscenes," since I guess they are.

Hmm, I guess you're right about the Levvies. The way I coded it, it made sense to have Unmute gates auto-activate them (getting them Muted is like forcing a toggle-off and disabling the ability to toggle them back on), but I should be able to rework it.

Mute gates don't actually disappear, the pattern of the pause cover just overlaps them completely because they're made entirely of X's.

how does it determine which item is selected at the start of a stage in area 6?

the current way isnt causing me any problems but i dont understand it.... for example i finish 6-2 with levvies on asha, start and finish 6-3 with gloves on lisa, then start 6-4 with gloves on asha.... what happens to the levvies

Oh, it looks like it was reverting to the item you had started the last level with, for reasons involving how restarting works. Reuploaded to fix that.

Did some further thinking about the item bug and it turns out that if you switch items in the treasure room, you'll start 6-1 with the item you had coming into the treasure room (but maybe only if you have Skip Scenes on, otherwise it'll update properly during the course of the scene?). I guess I'll fix that, not that it matters. I believe it could happen anytime a fade is used instead of a screen scroll, but I think that's the only place it'd happen (no other items to switch to in the intro).

Although now that I put it that way, I think I need to fix it for the end of 6-1 cutscene. But again, doesn't matter much.
