Rayman Pirate-Community

In one of my many playthroughs of the Missile Command bonus game for Rayman 3 (PC version) I encountered a glitch, where for whatever reason, the Shock Rocket timer expired, and Rayman did not pick it up automatically again; this resulted in me being able to wander freely around the level, and I think I got almost to the end (or maybe even to the very end); of course it's impossible to actually complete the level this way, but it was fun.

It happened exactly once, and I could never reproduce it. Has anyone seen this glitch, or (even better) knows how to trigger it?

Wow, freaky! I've never had that happen. Maybe it's a timing thing. There's a way at the end of SBTC1 of getting power-ups to last infinitely if you do something at a very specific time (can't remember what exactly). DTUCC once used it to Throttle-Copter out of bounds and (eventually) reach the area used for the end-of-level cutscene.

I used to wonder if the beginning of the mini-game would show you the "new power-up" cutscene if you unlocked it before encountering the Shock Rocket in the main campaign. Of course I now know that's impossible anyway, because you can't get enough points.

well this is epic, gonna try to recreate

I wonder if a cosmic-ray-induced bitflip could explain this one!

We should petition CERN to investigate! It's gotta be more important than whatever boring crap they do these days.

Were CERN involved in this though I wonder? https://hackaday.com/2021/02/17/cosmic- ... eedrunner/
