VISITOR 5 — Throws a coconut at a plane; it crashes

VISITOR 5 on PS1 at night: a small biplane approaches from the upper-right while Johnny stands under the palm tree on his raft. — VISITOR 5 on PS1, captured during the v0.8.4-ps1 chapter-select grind. The biplane has come into frame from the upper right; Johnny is about to grab a coconut and bring it down. The caption audit's "coconut plane hit" line was originally attached to VISITOR 4 — the on-PS1 loop showed VISITOR 4 is just a coconut rolling off the island into the ocean, and the throw-at-plane gag belongs here.

What this scene is

A plane flies overhead. Johnny grabs a coconut and throws it at the plane — and the coconut hits hard enough that the plane crashes. Confirmed by direct on-PS1 playback observation while capturing the chapter-select thumbnail; the earlier “visitor takes Johnny” caption-mapping guess was wrong (this scene is also where the audit’s “coconut plane hit” caption actually belongs — VISITOR 4 was misattributed).

How this scene gets validated

The same way every scene does: under the FISHING 1 bar.

A host-side Johnny Reborn capture/export pass produces a base-diff .FG2 foreground pack and a JSONL of sound events. The PS1 build replays that pack at native resolution through every variant the original game randomized between (night, low-tide, holiday overlays, raft-stage progress where applicable). The regtest harness checks that the visuals come out frame-identical and the SFX cues land on the same ticks. Once that holds across all applicable variants, the scene moves to validated and a row turns green in the ledger.

VISITOR 5 uses the generic normal/far-left/far-right foreground-only multi-view stitch so island-relative action is complete across production placements. Its high/low packs also use scene-specific hold redistribution so the coconut impact and downed-plane motion stay readable without changing total scene duration.

See the method for the longer version.

Notable runtime history

VISITOR 5 is one of the four canonical caption-mapping mismatches the v0.8.4-ps1 chapter-select grind caught. The original audit had the “coconut plane hit” caption attached to VISITOR 4, but watching every pack play on hardware showed VISITOR 4 is just a coconut rolling off the island into the ocean — the throw-coconut-at-plane gag that brings down the plane lives here. The chapter-select-grind retrospective walks through the named mismaps and how the on-PS1 loop surfaced them.
