Glitches and Easter Eggs

Glitches/bugs
Glitches/bugs are errors in video games and depending on its effect, it may be dangerous, helpful (cheaty) or minor graphical errors.

Wingnuts 2 as any game has some Big and small glitches or bugs.

- Choosing a plane and other appearing on Carrier Menu
When the player lands on the carrier, the carrier menu appears, with the plane list, stats and preview.

And after the player presses Confirm the stats and other planes disappears and the chosen plane preview flies out the screen, But in this glitch, after pressing Confirm, the chosen plane preview will change to a different plane.

This glitch does not affect nothing, and the chosen plane will still leave the carrier.

- Pause removes in-game music
If you pause the game, the current mission music track (this does not count sound effects) will stop playing.

The music will return in the next level.

- Missing plane/map textures
There is a rare chance, that some textures will not load correctly, making them invisible.

This is a pretty annoying glitch, and makes some missions impossible to win.

The only fix, is to leave the game.

- Restart button bug
If you restart the level, all your planes will be substituted by the three standard planes or another starter plane(s) if you are playing in a different scenario.

- Planes that belong to a different mission appearing
Extremely rare, but it is possible, different planes will indeed spawn in the wrong mission, just quit the game to fix it (if you restart the mission, it will still happen).

- First level Tze Industries Special Surviving!
In the first mission Flight School the player receives a weaker version of the most powerful plane in the game, The Tze Industries Special.

After the player destroys all enemy planes on the mission, a machine attacks the prison and abducts the plane, destroying it permanently and giving the player The Three Standard Planes.

However, with this bug, the player can escape the abduction ray and still play with the Tze Industries Special.

First Method:

To perform the glitch, the player needs to wait until the carrier gets near the machine, bomb it and finally land on the carrier ASAP. Now the plane is still alive, but with 0 Shields, so the player needs to destroy the next boss without getting hit.

Second Method:

It is currently unknown how to perform this glitch considering there is no footage, but upon starting Flight School, there is a chance when pausing before taking off the carrier that the game will skip to Mission 2, and you will keep the Tze Industries Special.
