Editing Field map encounter mechanics (section)

=== Menu Skipping ===

On field maps, it is possible to interrupt the transition from the field to a random encounter, effectively skipping that encounter, by opening the menu on the same frame that the encounter would happen on.

There are two caveats:
# Your danger value gets reset after a random encounter finishes, so that danger reset never happens on a skipped encounter.
# Skipping an encounter and then entering a scripted battle before the next field map encounter will result in the Duplicating Boss Glitch, where that scripted encounter plays again immediately after it finishes, which also sometimes results in the game crashing after that repeated boss.

A similar mechanic is used to perform [[Stinger Skip]] where a random encounter is triggered on the same frame that you enter the Stingers' webs in the Cave of the Gi, resulting in both being skipped.
