Orb softlock
Grabbing an end stage orb at the same time it falls on the ground results in a softlock.
Stage 2 bridge softlock
When you land on the ledge that triggers the bridge opening animation, you have one frame to input a move. If you land on the farthest pixel to the right, and hold right on the dpad, you'll fall off the cliff and softlock. A similar effect can be achieved by landing on the farthest pixel to the left and holding left to fall off on the lower ledge: this will make Richter jump off by himself during the cutscene and softlock.
