Dark Room Puzzle Bug

[Legoguy9875]

I myself play the PS Vita version of the game, but I wanted to share this anyway, as I noticed a couple PC players talking about it too. On the Ammo Baron level, particularly the interior stage, there is a secret room that is completely dark, which requires the bat sonar you get later on. The room itself is fairly straightforward once you get the necessary abilities, but there is one major bug with it. There is a chance of having Shantae fall through the floor and be unable to move or even use dances. I noticed that this frequently occured whenever I died as the harpy in the section where you have to go between two spike blocks to reach a platform with a jar on it, meaning it's possibly an issue with how Shantae spawned relative to her movement upon death, or maybe an issue with the Harpee's collisions being smaller than Shantae's normal form. Whatever the case, this is still a pretty game breaking bug, as it renders you unable to do anything unless you leave the world with the bird call, meaning you have to restart the whole world.

I can provide screenshots or a video if necessary (albeit at a subpar quality), but I wanted to get it there to let Wayforward know. The game is still great overall, as this is the only major bug I have seen.

I have encountered a bug like this in a sand castle, after ramming one of the dragon heads. The one that you need a stone block to get to.
The camera went crazy and I ended up inside of a wall, and then I had to quit and restart.
So this might not be exclusive to the dark room.
It only happened once though.

Sometimes the characters start shaking like they're not standing on solid ground. I've only seen it happen a handful of times, but i's been happening to Shantae and Sky more and more whenever I go to take a flight.

I imagine, if it happened in a level, it could warp you into the floor or a wall or something.

If it's a common enough bug, it'll probably be fixed soon enough.

I had a similar issue in the room at the top of the mermaid stage (the one with the spikes). I died once and then the game went nuts and Shantae was clearly invisible or off-camera. I used the whistle and tried again and all was good.
