| Summary | 09436: pce [parasol]: [possible] Game doesn't properly 100% restore internal state after a continue (allows softlocking the game) | ||||
| Description |
This report is for Parasol Stars (pce "parasol") only. Picking the wrong items at the wrong time ends softlocking the game. Likely BTANB case, though it looks like quite an easy way to softlock the game (I almost never play that game and did it on, what, my 3rd playthrough ?). |
||||
| Steps To Reproduce |
Picking the time stop bonus and then dying and continue, freezes the ennemies (forever: it carries over worlds). While in that state, it looks like picking the "timed bonus stage" bonus (where the character has to pick all items for score) effectively softlocks the game. I picked it, game advanced to next level but it got stuck there. I've attached an .inp (used to produce a video + a save state) as well as said save state. |
||||
| Additional Information |
Video, recorded from .inp: (times when I trigger the bugs: 39m50s, 50m45s). I don't have access to original hardware to check. |

Sorry for that Fujix, my save state was refused as an attachment (I've tried ".sta", no extension at all, refused) and I didn't notice on every try I was creating a new issue. Thank you ! |

There, I've managed to upload the save state by zipping to 7z, and inp file (renamed to .inp) was accepted as-is. |

One last thing, I think I have forgotten the "possible" flag. It is obvious when reading the report description, but I meant to check it. |

(edited the report to update/clean it a little bit, I shouldn't need to edit it any further) |
