I recently saw something strange in a Japanese Secret of Mana oddities video: the player encountered one of those chests that runs away from you, so they applied barrels to their entire team. The chest then started playing the Shadow Zero jumping out animation over and over, as well as blinking red as though it had been Analyzed. The video is here, with the Shadow Zero near the middle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9taHu_Znd7I
Does this work in NTSC/PAL versions too? Is it known behavior?
I wonder if it's intended, or if it's just a side effect of the walking chest animation script bugging out because it can't target a player character to run from (assuming that's even how barreling and enemy scripts would interact). For that matter, what's the deal with walking chests? Anyone know under what conditions chests run?
