In one interview I remember Mike saying something about balancing on a flying saucer - is he referring to the flying saucer the morphing baby throws for you to get back to the beach?

Anyone notice that there's also a high speed flying saucer that zooms past you when the stone henge scene is active (with african looking baby doing TaiChi)? Has anyone been hit by this?

Yes, I've been hit by and taken for a ride with that fast flying saucer!

About balancing... I'm not sure, but I know it's very tricky to balance at the flying spaceship (or whatever it is) in the air, when it's over the desert. If you try to sit on it, you'll feel like slipping on it. This is not the case, though :-) It's just that it is moving and you're not. But I'm not sure this is what Mike meant... it's not exactly a saucer :-) Any other ideas?

there is a part in the game when you get the ring on the small finger of that mike's hand sticking out of the ground an alarm starts and the flying saucer comes down but if u touch it u get sent back to the origin and the volcano erupts......

very strange part

Yeah! Managed to get hit by the flying saucer (not the big space ship but the small circular disc) - it took be round the volcano the first time and then suddenly I was taken to the burning cactus. All the later times I got hit I went straight to the flying cactus - I'm not sure what I did to stay with it the first time and go for a fast ride!

Ooops!c Sorry! Did I really type flying cactus!

Ih! BTW! Anyone notice that a few of the rocks with green leaves on top in the forest actually are flying above the ground - is this a mistake or meant?

There is also a high speed flying saucer right at the beginning flying around - before you go to the origin.

Has anyone got hit by this? I tried to but it doesn't seem to work!

As I just wrote in some other thread, I did a "full trip" with a flying saucer, don't ask me how, I think it started by those strange silver plated beings with "ring heads" and moving arms, shooting at them I suppose, and then a "firebirds squadron" flew me (by night) to the turtule island, where there was nor turtle nor serpents nor nothing (and it was still night), the squadron left me, but then there was some stairs and a door (?) by the surrounding island, then touching it another scene began with some kind of alien (like the "baby" but much bigger), and then I was taken by a big flying saucer to a trip that "took me around the world" and ended *inside* the volcano, with lava and rocks, and then I didn't know what to do... and was thrown back to the cactus !!

All musics were knew for me.

Then a strange bug happened, but I already explained it in another post ("reverse world" in the spoiler forum I think).

Voila. smile

Those "ring heads" were called "Mobiles" in an early preview of Sonic VR. They were on a video excerpt, and that's what they were called.
