Known Issues

General

Status: Active
Type: Minor
Description: Upon resetting the game, it may occasionally / frequently crash instead of rebooting properly.
Workaround: None, use hard resets or power down the game completely.

Status: Active
Type: Major
Description: Upon picking up most items a few hours into the game, it will fail to load an animation of the character for the close-up cutscene of the character holding the item and will subsequently crash the game.
Workaround: Use the GameShark code Pickup Fix to replace the models of all items, during the cutscene, with that of a magic gem, bypassing the crash.

Status: Active
Type: Minor
Description: Sometimes, the game will enter a bugged state where killing a SharpClaw will crash the game. Causes are currently unknown.
Workaround: Reportedly, saving the game and performing a hard reset will undo this effect.

Status: Active
Type: Minor
Description: To the entrance of Willow Grove, there's an invisible barrier preventing entry.
Workaround: The game is unfinished past this point, use the Levitate Noclip code if you want to explore past this point.

Status: Active
Type: Minor
Description: When giving Queen EarthWalker white mushrooms, she will accept any amount of white mushrooms, even though it is specified that she will need ten.
Workaround: None, giving less than 10 white mushrooms seems to not have any side effects either.

Status: Active
Type: Minor
Description: It is possible to lose the Shield/Forcefield spell if Krystal dies with it, or if the game is shut off, before the internal checkpoint is updated; the player is then unable to get it back through normal means because the LightFoot is considered 'saved' at this point and will not reward the player with the spell again.
Workaround: Use the Shield Saving Fix GameShark code, which prevents this issue. The code can be left running indefinitely. Alternatively, the issue can be avoided by swapping to Fox and saving once the player gets the spell in order to correctly update the internal checkpoint in the save; this will permanently save the Shield/Forcefield spell to the file.

Status: Active
Type: Major
Description: The guard in Cape Claw that is blocking the cave won't let Krystal past him unless she provides him "something shiny". There are two gold nuggets that the player can find outside of Cape Claw, however the guard is unaffected by these. There is also a third 'Shiney Nugget' that the player can find in a cave closest to them that they can swim into, however the nugget despawns trying to get close to it, and the game will crash if the player enters the cave riding the log.
Workaround: Use the GameShark code Shiney Nugget #3 [Cape Claw] to put the third nugget into Krystal's inventory. Alternatively, if the player would prefer to attempt to collect the Shiney Nugget legitimately, if the log can be maneuvered into the cave without despawning it, it's possible to pick up the Shiney Nugget. However, an item pickup fix code is required at this time, as it'll crash otherwise.
Notes: The cave crash is a use-after-free in the Krystal DLL caused by the log object being deleted across the load trigger. This results in the log DLL being freed despite Krystal still holding a pointer to it. The crash can be avoided by incrementing the log DLL reference count but this causes the player to get stuck as the object still does not exist. A proper fix would require modifying the game to consider the log a valid object within the cave.

Status: Active
Type: Minor
Description: The gas chamber in Cape Claw is unstable and is known to crash easily, it is also able to be triggered more than once.
Workaround: To disable the puzzle altogether, use the Gameshark code Prevent Krystal from Being Gassed More Than Once.

Status: Active
Type: Minor
Description: You're meant to place something/stand on the floor switch in order to lower the elevator to get the key from the sharpclaw upstairs. However the game crashes if you stand on the switch for longer than a second.
Workaround: You can use your projectile spell to hit the switch a few times to lower the elevator, kill the baddie, get the key, and then use the key on an invisible object to the right of the door.

Status: Active
Type: Major
Description: If your game doesn't have the flag for Tricky having learned distract when you enter the room the 'entering' cutscene will not play and Tricky will not be in the room. If Tricky is in the room you will need to use his flame command on the ice and then activate a gameshark code to start the fight.
Workaround: TODO (Put the codes here)

Status: Active
Type: Minor
Description: After spitting the player out, Galadon is supposed to be attacked with the Projectile spell while the creature exposes the weak spot in their chest. The player is unable to fire the projectile spell though.
Workaround: There are actually several ways to damage Galadon. First, it is actually still possible to shoot the projectile spell at Galadon if the player selected the projectile spell from the magic menu. Then, if Fox gets hurt, such as walking through Galadon's acid pools, it is possible to shoot the projectile spell if the Z button is held, followed by pressing the A button. Another way to hurt Galadon in this stage is, while Galadon's weak point is low to the ground, it's possible to hit it with a normal attack. Finally, it is possible to use the Levitate noclip Gameshark code to float up to the weak point and attack manually.
