- Some issues in die code for die by missile or die by bullet.
- You could Megabomb as Slade at the end of a boss battle. (Thanks, Sly)
- Some water effects were not spawning in layer 12, causing palette issues.
- When Goblins entered a static turret, Y-Pos would set the static Goblin turret 16 pixels up (-16).
- When Goblins entered a flying turret, Y-Pos would set the flying Goblin turret 16 pixels up (-16).
- The missile would deploy from boss 3 at the start of level 3, causing vignette to fade out.

- When skipping Cutscene 1 fast, the camera would stop and the animation would get set its first animation.
