There is also a similar raft in Oil Ocean 2 if you go along the bottom route (but not ON the oil) all the way. You come to a swinging platform in held by a chain that breaks up and floats a short distance to the right.

I think I found out about this on Cult several years ago. It's kind of pointless though, don't you think? Both of the other routes are faster and more obvious, and it's not like you can't grab those six rings otherwise. Makes you wonder if the raft was initially planned to be more useful than that. There's no proof for that of course. It's just speculation.

[Aerosol]

Yea I knew about this. Never cared because I never ever go that way. I have Super Sonic by then, so I go zooming across the top of the stage.

You think something minor like that made it into the Taxman remakes? Would be interesting to find out, given how overlooked it apparently is. Never knew about that.

[KingofHarts]

Knew about this... I take it on occasion if I'm bored with the normal route. It's kinda something you gotta find on accident though. I'm a little surprised that more people don't know about it... but then again why would you if you normally take the higher route, or fall off the bridges, or play in Debug mode?

As previously mentioned... the OOZ one too. That one I figured out intentionally... on the count of there doesn't seem to be any space to jump towards at first glance... coupled with the precedent set by this object.

I thought everyone knew this.

What I like to do is make the platform fall off and jump to the higher path to continue the level as it falls off.

I'd do the same thing as a kid, but I've completely forgotten it over the years. Here I was thinking you guys found a new raft that nobody spotted before.

I've known about this for a while. Discovered it while playing on hardware ages ago. It sure blew my mind when I first did it, though.

Yep. Knew about it. It's even on the mobile version.

[Felik]

Wow I didn't know about that. Not very practical route though.

[Nova]

Knew about this one - can't for the life of me remember if it's because I placed on in Debug Mode or because I found it legit, though.

Ah, thank-you. I don't know why I haven't picked up the mobile version myself yet.

[Quarterman]

I didn't know about this one. Wow.

[Ashura96]

Discovered it long ago, only because I used to have trouble actually crossing the swinging platforms :/

[Xilla]

Known about it since the first time I played it

Also, maybe my memory's cheating me but I'm sure the first time I played Mystic Cave Act 2, the second swinging platform glitched and detached like the ARZ and OOZ one does.

[ICEknight]

Yeah, your memory is cheating you.

[Xilla]

Yeah I can probably file that one alongside teleporting through a wall (with teleporter/spindash sfx) in Marble Zone!
