Switch Skull caverns bomb bug

  • I am doing a skull caverns dive and I got this bug to work twice: I used a bomb (I believe it worked on both a regular bomb and mega bomb) then I tried to eat cheese by pressing A as the bomb was counting down to detonate (ie it was placed on the ground but had not exploded) and I got temporarily soft locked where I was not in a menu, there was no prompt on the screen, time was paused, and I was holding the cheese above my head but could not eat it or do anything. Pressing A did not do anything. I could still use the left and right trigger to shift through my three inventory rows but I could not interact with anything in my inventory. After less than 30 seconds the game let me resume playing but I still could not interact with anything in my inventory. Both times the bomb (once detonated) yielded a ladder and I was able to go down the ladder. And then once I had gone down onto the next level of the mine I was able to eat again and resume playing normally. This happened twice on the same day in the same skull cavern run. Because I am on Switch, I was able to record the previous 30 seconds so I have it on video if anyone needs me to send it.
  • I do not think it is frame perfect as I got it to work twice and I was mostly just mashing A
  • I am playing on Nintendo switch with an off brand pro controller. I believe the game is up to date as of 11/8/25
  • Game was in English on an American switch
  • Single player

This is a current bug in 1.6, it applies to more than just switch too (I and many others have experienced it or very similar issue on PC), and can be really annoying.

The only thing you can really do is swap to eating food a little slower, as it seems to do more with swapping to the item and instantly eating it than anything else.
