A few years ago, I did a Let's Play (in French) of the first XXL, and during my research to do 100% it seems to me, my PS2 version had a kind of softlock that I never have including. It is a video that I had edited, but that I never published by forgetting (I nevertheless realized it 3 years later).
But suddenly I wanted to know, was I the only one who had this kind of thing ?

It never happened to us here, and moreover never infinitely.
The teleportation is Obelix trying to get out of softlock.
I just had a dream about XXL with the first level having some kind of plaza on Lutetia with a fountain and a ton of crates
they all mostly contained multipliers with random numbers and colors with one of them being a 86X but there was still the torture of not being fast enough to get all the elmets before the multiplier disappears
in my childhood XXL made me nightmares of tornadoes
I once had a dream as a kid that I swam very far in Helvetia and a shark appeared while creepy music played
played too much Ratchet & Clank at the same time? 😛
I never played it, I only know the franchise exists. Ratchet is that furry guy with triangular ears, right?
yeah. If you swim for too long or too far you'll just get eaten whole by some fish
SPORE has invisible map edges on Creature stage where if you swam too far in the sea, it triggers a cutscene where a sea monster swallows you
Sea of Thieves flashbacks
And in Subnautica if you swim out of the game's map, there's just an endless empty blue sea with ghost leviathans trying to kill you. Also music stops
