Ristar/Bugs
From Sega Retro
- Back to: Ristar.
Gameplay bugs
Adahan softlock
One of Adahan's attacks involves hovering in the air and shooting his claws down at Ristar. If Ristar grabs the second claw from certain angles, he will grab on to nothing, then end up clipping through the floor. This will cause Ristar to drop back in from the top of the screen, but will be in a weird state where his sprites are obscured by parts of the background, and he will be unable to interact with Adahan or his attacks, essentially causing a softlock.
If this bug is performed after the first freefall phase, Ristar will be stuck at the top of the screen instead, and will still be unable to interact with Adahan, softlocking the game again.
Not fixed in any version.
