In numerous levels there are Gongs that Power-type characters must attack in order for their respective team to progress. However, if the player has full Team Blast meter at these Gongs then they can softlock the level or story mode with a glitch. To do this, after using a Power-type attack on the Gong the player must then rapidly switch to the Flying-type character when just getting off the ground, then the player must immediately use their Team Blast. If done right, then the characters will be stuck in an extremely glitched Flying Formation in a black void with no way of getting out, forcing the player to quit the level or turn off the game.
