General Sonic / (SA2:B) MAJOR Glitch in "Security Hall"...please help...

(I hope I put this in the right forum. I think I did. ^^;;)

Hi everyone. (^^) New member here, and I'm having a MAJOR problem with Security Hall. I originally posted this in the NeoSeeker forums, but no one's really been able to help me. So I'm hoping that one of you "game gods" will have some advice....

I own the GameCube version of SA2B. And for some reason, once I open a safe (by digging into the flashing center of it), the safe can NEVER be opened again (even if I turn off my GameCube). The flashing panel disappears permanently, and I can't Screw Kick it open (I think because the GameCube version got rid of that "helpful glitch". Bastards).

I opened about 90% of the safes in the level, back when I was trying to collect 100 rings (I knew there were rings in some of the safes, and I didn't know about the "play Mystic Melody and 30+ rings will appear" trick until much later on)...but still!! I assumed that if I died or turned off the system, all the safes would "reset" and I could reopen them again. But I was wrong.

Now as a result of this problem, Mission 5 seems impossible to do, because one of the emeralds is inside of a safe (which I previously opened - WITHOUT hitting the switch on the ceiling. o_O). And as you all probably know, Mission 5's emeralds are ALWAYS in the same locations. (><;) Does anyone know what I can do?

Please help. ;_____;

PS: I have around 80 lives, and I wonder if that could be the problem. In other words...if I lost ALL of my lives/"continues", would the game truly "reset" that way? Or would it really not matter...which means my game IS corrupt and I have to either buy a new disc or delete everything. >___<

Hi everyone. ^^

I'm a pretty decent gamer (not quite as skilled as a lot of you are), but I'm very stubborn and I like working at something (or asking for help) until I get it right. So that said...I might not be posting a whole heck of a lot of stuff ('cuz I doubt I'll have anything "helpful" or "awe-inspiring" to say. We'll see how it goes though), but I will be politely lurking around the forums. =P

I think it's really cool and wonderful how a lot of you have done so well in these games...and I'm grateful that you uploaded videos showcasing your skills! That way, it can help me improve my own score (or in many cases, it'll help me learn what items I'm missing in order to get a winning score).

Speaking of skills...I have a question I'd really like answered. But I don't think that should go in here...so I'll be posting it in the "General Sonic" forum. Hopefully someone will lend their assistance.

EDIT: I made this post in regards to my question. It's about the "Security Hall" level in Sonic Adventure 2: Battle.

^_^ Take care, everyone!!
