Topic

I found some bugs that are worth looking into. For example, during the final level, I noticed that the rocket fox animal can go out of bounds rendering the level unbeatable. Additionally, for the Rat-o-Matic stage, one of the energy spheres disappears after destroying the rat-o-matic room. I'm only playing on an emulator, so I don't know if these occur on actual hardware.FCandChill (talk) 20:47, 2 August 2019 (EDT)

Incorrect Species Encountered Count - Additional info

Very weird bug. In the investigation note I mentioned my save showing 26 species encountered after completing all the Europe and Ice levels, and not having attempted any Jungle level. Counting the available species in Europe and Ice, we have:

  1. Dog
  2. Sheep
  3. Racing Mouse
  4. Ram
  5. Racing Dog
  6. Springy Thing (springy sheep)
  7. Springy Ram
  8. Fox (Europe version, different from the Desert fox)
  9. Racing Fox (distinguished by the wheels instead of feet)
  10. Bear
  11. Rat
  12. King Rat
  13. Penguin
  14. Husky
  15. Ski Husky
  16. King Penguin
  17. Walrus
  18. Rabbit
  19. Heli-Rabbit
  20. Seagull
  21. Cool Cod
  22. Polar Tank
  23. Polar Bear

So as you can see, there are 23 species you can encounter, yet as previously mentioned, if you encounter every species and finish all the levels in Europe/Ice without doing any Jungle levels, your species encountered total should show 26. Where the additional 3 come from is unknown. The above list of animals omits a few animals, specifically;

  1. Dog Plane, from the final Europe level Give a Dog a Bonus.
  2. Rocket Fox, from the final Europe level Give a Dog a Bonus.
  3. The two differently colored (green and yellow) Walrus racers you race against in the final Ice level Walrace 64.

It seems the game requires you to actually enter an animal (unconfirmed: and see the stats window?) in order for it to count as "encountered". This is why the above 4 animals were omitted, as you cannot switch animals in those final levels. As mentioned in the article, if you do not switch back into the Dog in the first level, it doesn't count it as being seen. So since you are unable to switch out of and back into the Dog Plane, it shouldn't be counted as being seen by the game. I did not note whether or not there was an increase in species encountered after completing Give a Dog a Bonus, I do intend to figure that out.

The above may not be the case for the Polar Tank, as that animal doesn't bring up the stats window the first time you encounter it, which is itself a bug. I believe the game does still tick your species counter up for the Polar Tank even though the stats window doesn't show up, but I have not confirmed this yet. Once I confirm it, I'll add the Polar Tank bug to the article. 👍 4️04️UNF 💬 ✏️ 14:10, 12 January 2022 (UTC).

I should also note I am currently playing through the game level by level and taking note of how much the species encountered counter goes up after completing each level and encountering all species in that level. Doing this mostly to figure out which levels cause these odd increases. 👍 4️04️UNF 💬 ✏️ 14:13, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
