Request Tingle Be Gone DOL?

[vathekid]

I was hoping to see if there was a DOL/Gecko code for Tingle on the great bay stage, since i currently have an Omega I've the default, but he still loads up regardless.
Especially now that i just learned that popping the balloon while too close does damage apperently?!

But yes, any help would be appreciated

I was looking at some old stage collision link notes, and came up with a lightweight experimental solution.
(Only briefly tested)

The code disables the GObj that updates Tingle in the stage init, and causes the collision link polygon for his balloon to ignore collisions with an edit to the polygon flags rather than each individual collision link.
This makes Tingle effectively disabled.

You can still reveal a sort of ghost of his balloon in its initial stage position using developer mode. While visible this way, the collisions are disabled for the balloon and never get updated, so they should not interact with entities in the scene:
