Brand new to any speedrunning forums, but a quick google search didn't bring up the glitch I just experienced, so figured I'd share it.

Playing DK2 on a SNES. On the Mudhole Marsh level, there's a part halfway through with two of the.. uh, sonics I guess? I had just been hit and lost Dixy, and was then grabbed by the right sonic who brought me in their whirlwind to the stationary bee on the right side. I was hit while he was twirling me around, the music for failing the level played and I looked away. I looked back and I was still in the stage, but now no music was playing and I could walk through enemies. Platforms still worked and I could grab the tall grass in the level to jump off, but died trying to land on a croc in the water to see if it would shoot me up. I fell through instead and the reset like normal.

Anyway no idea if it's useful or known, but gl!

Thanks for the post, but this page is for the unlicensed port of DK2, you want to try the actual SNES DK2 threads on https://www.speedrun.com/dkc2. Have a nice day!
