* The guard disappears when the mouse appears:
The game treats the mouse as a guard. Only one guard can be in a room, so the mouse will replace the guard.

* The mouse turns into a prince because the mouse uses the same set of images as the prince.

* The guard reappears when you leave and reenter the room:
When you leave a room with a guard, the game usually remembers his position.
But the mouse is an exception: https://github.com/NagyD/SDLPoP/blob/ma ... 002.c#L268
When you return to the room, the game will restore the actual guard who was there before.

Ohk, so then can we kill the mouse (which is treated as a guard) (and shown as Kid) multiple times? And how did it run to the left instead of the default right? Do you think because the PRINCE.EXE was changed?

Funny unexpected things occur with such special events :)

A few more things you can do there:

• Run into the spikes. The guard will just stand still and the conveyor belt will take him offscreen.
He should logically fall into the pit in the next room, but his HP doesn't disappear.

• Switch places with the guard, then jump over the pit.
Now you will see as the conveyor belt drops the guard into the pit.
He is so obsessed with the prince that he doesn't notice where he is going. :)

• Let the guard kill the prince on the conveyor belt.
The prince will fade out as usual, but when the now invisible prince falls into the pit, the screen will follow him and show the bottom of the pit.

Thanks for the advice, I will take my time to do each while I explore the sfc file I have :D SNES version is more complex than DOS version.

All characters scream if they fall 4 or more rows (based on a fall_y speed value). The issue with the original PoP is guards disappear once they fall outside the room so they never really fall that far.

In my mod guards fall all the way down until there is a floor. I had to modify the logic so dead guards with no hitpoints would not scream.

This is the last of that type, my short videos about PoP have been badly received, they had too many dislikes so I decided to post longplays again, that's what you like, but the frequence will low more and more.
However I will try David's advice of funny moments for myself.

I saw that this video was not well received at all, it has gotten many dislikes.
If this wasn't funny for you, it's ok, the video is now named “Prince of Persia, Strange Moment with shadow”.
I hope it is better now.

:lol: :lol: I like it, maybe I should try that too
The likes and dislikes does not affect me at all, the video was meaningful for both.
However, the message is clear, I need to change somethings.
Thanks :)
