121	121	* **Description:** Saving and reloading at Warlock Mountain any time between Scales's Galleon leaving and warping away to the Swapstone puts the game into an unwinnable state where the Galleon is gone but its collision still exists. Krystal can run around on the invisible Galleon, but an invisible wall prevents her from continuing on into Warlock Mountain.
122	122	* **Workaround:** Don't save at Warlock Mountain after the galleon leaves.

	135	+* **Description:** Saving and reloading at Ice Mountain as soon as the player arrives will send Sabre to the world origin, causing him to fall into the void endlessly. This happens because Sabre's position is still uninitialised in the save data.

	142	+However: saving and reloading during the jetbike race will currently (as of January 2024) set Sabre back to the top of Ice Mountain, so it's recommended to continue as far as Tricky's tutorial area before saving.

	147	+💡 If you're playing on a backup cartridge (EverDrive etc.), this endlessly-falling-into-the-void save glitch will occur if the cartridge is using the wrong save format for Dinosaur Planet.

	149	+In order for a patched Dinosaur Planet ROM to work on an EverDrive-64 X5 (or X7), you need to copy and paste "DP=5" into the ID detection section of "save_db.txt", located inside the ED64 folder on the cart's SD Card.

188		-* **Description:** Something needs to hold down the switch in the room to lower the elevator, but there is no obvious way to hold down the switch. Also, standing on the switch in the center will cause it to crash. It is necessary to use this elevator because a SharpClaw in the area above holds the key to progress.
189		-* **Workaround: **It is possible to shoot the switch with the projectile spell to cause it to lower; alternatively, it is also possible to get Tricky to stand on the switch by hitting him a few times and running to the elevator or by using his ball. After collecting the key from the SharpClaw, it must be used on an invisible trigger to the right of the door. A cursor will appear when prompted to use the key.

	201	+* **Description:** The switch in the room's centre controls the elevator, but the game will crash if the switch is held down for longer than a moment (due to a buffer overflow). It is necessary to use this elevator because a SharpClaw in the area above holds a key needed to progress.
	202	+* **Workaround:** Due to a programming oversight, it's possible to activate the switch by shooting it with the projectile spell! Because this interaction is so brief it avoids overflowing the switch's actor buffer. Alternatively, it is also possible to get Tricky to stand on the switch by hitting him a few times and running to the elevator or by using his ball. The game will crash if Tricky stays on it too long though, so be careful! After collecting the key from the SharpClaw, it must be used on an invisible keyhole to the right of the door - a cursor will appear when nearby.

	207	+Note that it's no longer possible to activate the switch by shooting it with a projectile. Instead you need to use the intended method of shooting a nearby rock onto the switch, or you can coax Tricky into activating the switch with some clever use of his ball.
