Ah, case-sensitivity. Bad news for nate if he used it heh.
Hi guys! Been reading this site for a while, and finally decided to join up. Anyhow, I found several "glitches" related to getting early PB from the SW in the Temple Gate area (the first one you can get to). More to do with getting early PB, but that's where I got 'em.
First, I did stuff normally up to the space jump (except for getting the 101% missile). Then I went back to GFMC complex or whatever where you get the 101% missile right after the early power bomb. Entered the missile door you use originally to get out, then went up to the temple and saved. About the time I was rolling out of the tunnel I realized what I'd done: from that save point, you can't get to the rest of the temple because there's a translator gate, you can't get back to GFMC because there's a seeker target only seeable with dark visor, and going to the dark world doesn't get you anywhere. So I had to restart that game from the beginning.
Next (or maybe not, but it's the next one I remember), I discovered that you can enter the power bomb guardian's room from the top and scan him, but if you go too far it'll start the fight, but I can't beat him without spider ball, so I had to restart (I'd saved right up top, so it wasn't a big deal). You can also use that to skip ahead a little to get to the Alpha Blogg by using the portal in the vertical shaft/giant stairs.
I went the back way into Sanctuary, using the Agon entrance, and found a couple more things: in the light world, go through that spinning gyro puzzle backwards, and you'll fall through the bottom into a secret world. Seems useless, since you always fall *way* down, and I can't find a way back up. I tried it again, and unmorphed quickly, and you fall all the way still. I also found that you can't get anywhere in the dark world without the seeker/dark visor, but learned how to roll jump.
The last thing was mentioned in this post by hypernova, where the game blackscreens, freezes for 10 seconds or so, then restarts at the Gamecube logo. I skipped the spiderball and went directly for the screw attack. When I came back out I did the ghetto jump to reach the bomb slot in {the room right outside the SA vault, which is the light version of the room with a key}, entered the dark world to grab the missile, came back to the light world, then entered the big, vertical shaft (the one you SA up to get the key in the dark world). I got the missile on the way down, walked into the next room (with the robot boss), then turned around and went back to the vertical shaft room. Realized that you can't open the gate without sonic stuff and started shooting at the invisible thing without the dark visor (forgot I had it, so I wanted to see if the shots would at least bounce off an invisible body). Not sure if I hit it or not, but after about 5 shots (each a little right of the last, in a pattern) the game froze.
At that point I came here to see if anybody else had seen this glitch, and apparently at least one person has. Annoying though, cuz I suck at roll-jumping still and I hadn't saved since cross the gap at Whatever Access.
Cheers!
