Now here's a good glitch. Playing Chaotix as Mighty and Knuckles as the partner. Speed Slider Act 5. Everything is all well and good until the boss loads and look. Its Snowy Knuckles!

Any idea what that's about? I played badly on purpose to see if Knuckles would come back normal when he respawned. Nope. I assume it has to do with how his sprite loaded after the cut scene. Anyone seen this before?

********* says hi.

What exactly were the conditions that led to this?

Let's see. I'm at SS5, BB5, MM2, TT4 and AA2. As I said, I was playing as Mighty with Knuckles as the partner. As you can see, I was at 50 rings. Anything else?

Btw. When I went back to the attractions screen, Knuckles was back to normal. Also I went back and defeated the boss from a savestate. Again, Knuckles was back to normal on the attractions screen.

Yes I thought of Wechnia as well. Similar.

I can upload a savestate if you'd like. I never know where to do that on here though

Oh yeah. Was running Fusion.

That sounds like clobbered memory, though I have absolutely no idea how even a savestate would cause Knuckles to go back to normal...

[Woohookitty]

Well I didn't say that well. It wasn't the savestate that got him back to normal. I played the boss as shown in the clip. After that, it went back to the attractions screen and Knuckles was normal. I then loaded the savestate that I had made just as I saw Snowy Knuckles at the start of the boss battle. This time I beat the boss...went back to the attractions screen and Knuckles was again normal. So apparently between the end of the boss battle and the attractions screen, Knuckles used some Head and Shoulders. :-D

Now that you say that, the game was running a bit slow earlier in Speed Slider when I went onto the platforms that move you to new areas of the zone. So maybe it was a memory issue.
