This little trick I found allows you to collect Petetronic's Disc before triggering the intro cutscene and the fight.
However I have not found a way to proceed from this.. read more below.
How this works:
There is a cylinder shaped force field shielding the Disc at all times, until Petetronic is defeated or befriended, which will knock you back if you approach it.
However, performing a spin-attack makes Mickey invincible to knockbacks for a brief moment.
From experience I have learned that simply jumping into the force field with a spin-attack won't get you as close to the disc as you need to be for this to work. I have also learned that the force field can be jumped over, meaning it is not endlessly high..
The way to do it is by using the pillars surrounding the platform. The 3 pillars next to eachother with increasing heights has the most tallest pillar, allowing you to get very high up in the air.
Double-jump onto the shortest pillar, then to the tallest pillar, and then double-jump towards the force field and spin at the precise time you hit it.
If performed PERFECT, you will land directly on the disc and collect it, and then get knocked back out of the field.
If performed only "good enough" (like in the video) you will end up on the same platform as the disc, but not collect it.
Now there is a very, very brief moment (maybe frame perfect) where you can perform a spin-attack before getting knocked back, after Mickey has got up from the fall.
Holding forward and successfully performing the spin-attack should get you close enough to the disc for you to get it.
The problem now is that the force field does NOT disappear, but will stay there until you have beaten Petetronic.
You can use the same trick as before to get very close to the screen, but Mickey needs to be perfectly still to enter a screen..
In the video I am standing close to the screen and spamming A but nothing happens.. and I have tried many times before to maybe see an 'A' indicator near the screen, showing that you can press the A button to enter, but no success..
I think the screen is deactivated and cannot be entered at all without fighting the boss..
Maybe someone can pick this up in an emulator and try some stuff.. it is veeeeeeery tideous to try on console..
(Camera gets out of focus just as I nail it...)
