I discovered it just yesterday on accident! :)

It's possible to skip Botwoon at least technically! To make it work you have to leave his room through the right door as soon as possible BEFORE Botwoons wall gets destroyed to the end. On this way the room-status won't have time to switch that Botwoon is dead (although you killed him) and if you enter the room he will simply reappear again. :)

Now you sure think NBMB has increased again (as he is not technically dead) but sadly not in this case. In order to exit Botwoons room that fast you need the Gravity Suit because the room is in water, otherwise you are too slow and don't have a chance.

Thanks to Kejardon for his technical explanation about it.

Evidence plz
i don't know where the actually "skip" is when you need to kill botwoon before his wall gets destroyed?
Simply playback JXQ's 100% TAS on Snes9x until he enters the room with the energy tank after botwoon and return to his room again. You will see the wall reappeared and Botwoon is alive again.

Here is a AVI demo for those who can't playback his TAS:

Yes it's not a real skip but could still be used for a NBMB as he isn't technicaly dead. Unfortunately this don't work without Gravity so it doesn't give you anything useful anyway. It's still a nice and useful discovery though that needs to be considered if doing a special route of a run where you have to pass Botwoons room again later.
