Comment (by mgerhardy):

 This is probably the best known bug in LBA. It happens in
 Proxima Island. You can enter the Museum just by buying a
 ticket in the window for 5 Kashes, but once inside the
 rabbibunny will sound the alarm as soon as he sees you,
 and a supergro will appear from the telepod to shoot you.
 But if you run fast you can pass the west door (it opens
 when touch) and go down through the trap door before you
 receive the supergro’s ball, allowing you to sneak into the
 Museum afterwards. By doing this it’s not necessary to use
 the Fake Red Card at all at the Museum.

 The problem comes later, because once you get the
 Ancestral Key from the treasure in the Museum the Red Card
 is impossible to obtain. No matter if you spoke or not with
 the forger in Principal Island, his brother in Proxima Island
 won’t have a conversation, not “Hi!” as if you already got
 the Red Card, and not the speech about visiting his brother
 as if you didn’t.

 And thanks to the save game system your present status is
 always the only saved one, including you lacking the Red Card
 and being unable to obtain it. Without the Red Card is not
 possible to go inside FunFrock’s HQ, therefore is not possible
 to finish the game and you would need to start all over again
 unless you edit the saved game with an hexadecimal editor.

 This bug has been prevented from happening in the floppy
 disk and PSX versions, just by adding a circle of barrels
 around the trap door in the Museum. This way the player needs
 to spend more time going around the barrels, being so slow to
 escape before being hit.
