Okay, seriously, guys, you've been reporting these same errors over and over again for a very long time. I KNOW about the problems with the End Level Signs, and I KNOW that sometimes the player gets stuck at the end of Act 2 of SNZ. You know that I am religiously dedicated to removing bugs from Tortured Planet. The only reason I haven't in this case is because I have no idea how to do so. In general I am very grateful for bug reports, but being told the same thing repeatedly gets pretty irritating.
As for not getting Level Select, has anyone else experienced this? I have unlocked it myself. And furthermore, Kim, if you really want to skip Spacewalk, you could gather the seven Chaos Emeralds beforehand, thus enabling you to skip straight to SSZ.
Lastly, I can't really judge an idea I haven't seen in action, but putting the ACZ road at the beginning of ECZ1 doesn't actually sound like a great idea to me. And moving a thok barrier is an insanely simple task; why do you need help with it?
