105		-* **Description: **Tricky and Kyte are intended to need Blue Mushrooms/Blue Grubs to perform their sidekick actions, and should be unable to help you if they're too hungry. The mechanic is introduced in the SnowHorn Wastes' tutorial area (with the SnowHorn, alpine roots, geyser, and digging spots) and it does function correctly in this area: Tricky needs to build his digging experience before he can dig certain spots, and he needs to be fed mushrooms before he has enough energy to continue digging. This mechanic isn't used for the rest of the game however, in some cases because the buddy interaction points have their energy and experience requirements set to 0. The sidekicks will simply perform the actions without any cost! It's likely that Rare simply had yet to add the energy costs to these object, or disabled them to facilitate debugging and testing the game. Additionally, Tricky and Kyte's blue/red UI mushroom gauges don't update at any stage.

161	161	* **Description:** The route to SnowHorn Wastes in the well is not blocked early in the game, even though vines should prevent you from passing through until Tricky learns to use Flame. This allows you to reach Garunta Te earlier than intended! You shouldn't be able to free him and do his (tedious) frost weed quest until after completing a number of other quests (healing the Queen, meeting Rocky, switching to Krystal, Discovery Falls, Test of Combat's spirit, and then switching back to Sabre after Tricky learns Distract).
162	162	* **Workaround:** Rare's had a permanent invisible wall on the vines in the well, which was removed in the community patch in the hopes of eventually adding a proper vine game objects which Tricky can burn away as intended, but such an object has yet to be added (since it's a difficult edit!) A progression gate needs to be readded here to prevent players from unintentionally sequence breaking.
