Characters Keep Getting Stuck In Geometry Or Animations

[kumabushi]

I keep running into situations where the characters are either getting stuck into geometry, on top of geometry, or in some kind of weird animation loop I can't break out of. The last of those tends to happen right after scripted events. This has happened to me 10 times so far and I'm only up to the fifth level.

There's no way to force them to respawn elsewhere, as far as I can tell, so this often results in having to restart an entire level. :/

Same thing happened to me. Got wedged in a spot caught between geometry and a level hazard (fire Cap can't extinguish) and ended up in an infinte loop of respawn and death. Tried to find a way out for a good 2 minutes before restarting.

I know they burn through the production of these games and testing must be a beast so no wonder these things get missed but I do wish there was just an 'unstuck' option to move you to the nearest flat safe ground.

Agreed. I have since started saving at every checkpoint just in case.
