Subject: A bug in the final stage??
-------------------------------------------
Ok this is my problem:
I start the "final stage" and play normal as tails until I have to destroy that door (eggman tells me to do that). I destroy it, and then the scene switches, where I SHOULD play further as Eggman....... but I only see the nice textures of the FLOOR and I fall...and fall...and fall... through the floor...!! I restarted the game 1000 times already but nothing helped...
... does anybody KNOW this problem (i found nothing in the net about this^^) and does anybody know the solution?plz help
(wanna be supersonic^^) The problem is, that I knew this problem on another disc of the same game..... and because it always happens at THIS situation (screen gets dark, the dreamcast loads, and then eggman says "it's my turn now" (or something) and should land there on the floor *I THINK* - but he falls *through* the floor - and dies ^^
hmmm I have thought about this a bit, and i could have found the following "solutions"/reasons: 1. It can't be a problem with the disc, because I know this from another copy of this game... 2. Perhaps it's a compatibility - bug ... I have a PAL-Dreamcast but I bought the import-version... I'm always starting the game with a boot-disc. 3.It's some kind of weird copy-protection, released by the boot-disc ??? So, is there a possibility to play an import-game *without* a Boot-Disc?
Or do you have another idea?

I searched a few sites, and finally managed to come up with the answer.
quoteIf Eggman fall right through the floor then you can't fix it. It's a glitch in the game and you need to get a new copy.
HOWEVER...It is possible to get to the end. You can still hover after falling through the floor. Press the button and hold up on the analog. You should fly past the floor and into a black area. Keep on pressing up while still holding the hover button. The only way you know you're alive is that you can actually hear the hovering and if you shoot the yellow light will come out.
The light is your only real way of knowing where you are. Now here's the hard part. If you keep on moving forward you'll get to what looks like a building. If you see green sludge at the bottom then you've found the right place. Try to get in front of the building ever-so-slowly and start shooting. If you hit some targets keep hovering down and hopefully the camera angle will switch.
You'll either fall into the sludge and get hit or land in a room with those two water monsters. If you land in the sludge there should be a ledge that moves back and forth for you to jump on. If you can't make it you'll eventually die.
Once you get to this part it's as if the glitch never happened. But it takes a LONG time of practice (I had to get over just falling down to begin with) but it's well worth it, especially to fight against the last boss.
