The volcano portal
On certain occasions, an arch, similar to those on the games, appears at the bottom of the volcano. There's still no clue about its task, but it doesn't seem to be an error, since the arch does fit perfectly in the volcano's shape; maybe it was meant to be something finally discarded, or maybe it's something yet to discover...
For now, the only known way to see it is exploiting the bugs that make the barriers disappear, like the seagull's world.
Additional note by The Bulldog
The portal-shaped rock structure, without the actual Portal architecture, can be seen in the same place at the foot of the volcano in Ant's World. It appears that the Portal architecture is dependent on which "World" one is in at the time.
[As there are several mysterious Portals about in the game, I wonder if these are there to serve a programming function of some sort. For instance, you shoot white triangles at the Portal on the Ice Cap of the Blue Planet, but you do not actually go through it. However, you ARE transported from Space. Maybe these "other" Portals are there to allow this teleportation to happen, even though the player cannot actually pass through them. One game engine that I used decades ago had a similar characteristic - teleportation devices had to be seen as something, but could usually be hidden in the game design. They just had to be there to allow for the movement of the player into another scene or world.]
