The games in the Mario series are pretty good representations of what really happened here in the Mushroom Kingdom and the surrounding areas, making allowance for technological limitations and embellishments for the purposes of making sales. But the programmers at Nintendo are only human, after all, and sometimes they don't get it quite right. In fact, sometimes they flat out mess things up. If there's an error in a game, you know Nintendo missed it, but there is sure to be a player who's spotted it.
This subsection will include errors found in Mario's games. Whether it be a complicated glitch, a minor error in word play, or a contradiction between several games, this is where you'll find it. If you've spotted a Bug I've missed, Email me! I'll add it here and give you a nice something something in return.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
- When in the fight with Bowletta after
she turns into Dark Bowletta, wait for a star attack. When she throws the
stars at you, throw enough stars back at her so that she loses all of her
HP and gets "defeated", but in the process she still hits Mario and Luigi
with enough stars to kill them too. If performed correctly, the Bob-omb
that comes out from behind when Bowletta is "defeated" will kill Mario
and Luigi. The glitch is, however, that they are already dead from Bowletta's
star attack. Essentially, the Bob-omb will come out despite the Bros. already
laying on the ground. It will explode and no death animation will play,
they'll just stay laying there. The screen will fade to black and the music
will get slightly slower as if it is moving on to the next battle, but
my guess is the game wants to trigger a "Game Over" but can't given the
circumstances. Instead of moving on, the music keeps getting slower and
slower beyond what it normally does and the screen stays black. I assume
this is because the game has a set ratio to slow down the music, with a
set time (about 5 seconds) to do so before the next battle. Since the game
wants a "Game Over" and won't go to the next battle (therefore there is
no set time to move on to the next battle), the music just keeps getting
slower. Your only choice is to turn off the system. Spotted by Storm
Koopa.

The Lost Levels
- In level C-4, towards the beginning
of the course is a small stretch with a Firebar on the end and a long gap
with moving lifts. When the coast is clear, jump up when you're one block
past the brick ceiling to sprout a Mushroom from an invisible block. Don't
get it. Now hop up on top of the block that the Mushroom came out of and
wait for a lift to come by. Jump on it when it's just a little above halfway
down. If you time your jumps right, you can hop on the last row of moving
lifts when one is high up. From here you can jump on top of the brick ceiling.
If you walk to the right, you can get stuck up there because there are
no gaps in the ceiling and you can't go back to the left. Since C-4 is
a recycled version of 7-4, you can probably do it there too. Spotted by
Double D. Click here to see this
glitch in action.
- In World 3-3, the first time you
reach the first lift on ropes, stay on the first platform rather than jumping.
Both you and the platform will go down off the screen, but come back on
the top of the screen on a small piece of rope. When your platform reaches
the original rope it was on, the second platform will fall as well. This
will work once, until you need to continue. Spotted by Fwipp
Deathspeeder.
- In any level with a Fire bar, if
you make the screen scroll halfway over the block the Firebar is attached
to while the Firebar itself is still on screen, it will disappear! It looks
really weird with the larger Firebars. Spotted by Fwipp
Deathspeeder.
- In world 4-2, you will sometimes
jump through the vine instead of grabbing on. Spotted by Fwipp
Deathspeeder.
- In world 7-2, right at the start
with the platform that goes right, allow it to push you to the right side
of the screen by getting in front of it and stopping. It will go right
through you, and then the screen will scroll with you on the very right
edge, so you cannot see where you are going. To get the screen to scroll
normally, move Mario/Luigi to the middle again, and the screen will go
back to assuming that as the pole position. Spotted by Fwipp
Deathspeeder.
- In worlds such as 6-2 and 3-2, the
current of the water conflicts and Mario will sort of vibrate between the
two conflicting parts. Spotted by Fwipp
Deathspeeder.
Luigi's Mansion
- At the beginning of the game, after
you pick up the key the ghost drops in the Foyer, Luigi puts his flashlight
on his back before grabbing the large key. However nothing is holding it
there. It's like the Poltergust is on his back, but it's not (not yet).
Then when he takes it off his "invisible Poltergust", you hear the sound
it makes when he has the Poltergust on. Spotted by Z-Kidd
500.
- Nintendo really seemed to forget
a slight detail in the plot. Mario left articles of clothing behind, his
cap, a glove, and a shoe. I honestly don't think he would bring extras
with him, but in his painting, you can clearly see he is wearing his cap
and both gloves, and when he is ejected out of the portait machine in the
lab, he is also wearing both shoes! Spotted by Trollish
Beastfighter.
- According to Chauncey's biography
in the Gameboy Horror, Chauncey was born as a ghost. But if you go the
Nursery, you can see pictures of him as a human. Spotted by Kyoni
Yoshi.
- If you examine a portrait ghost's
heart the instant they dissapear, the heart's shadow will remain on the
wall, and if you move around the Gameboy Horror, the heart's shadow will
move along with it. Spotted by Kyoni
Yoshi.
- Try this where there's a mirror nearby
with clothes on the back wall. I suggest the Wardrobe Room. If you vacuum
up clothes or wardrobes, they will shake. However, when you see clothes
or a wardrobe in the mirror, go back and try to vacuum them up- they don't
shake at all! Spotted by Denny W.
Koopa.
- While capturing Melody, pause as
soon as you get her in suction. You will hear the dramatic song she plays
after you answer her quiz, even though there's no one on the piano. Spotted
by Kyoni Yoshi.
- After the cutscene where Luigi discovers
what happened to Mario, he'll still shout Mario's name when you press A.
Spotted by Pichu.
- In the music room, after you activate
all of the instruments and make them play the SMB overworld, if you uncover
a Boo in the room, if you lose or catch it, the instruments will still
be making the notes appear, yet the music is gone! Spotted by Pichu.
- This is very
hard to pull off. First go into the Twins' Room while it's still dark.
Then shake the bed and a Money Ghost should emerge. Now, this is where
it gets hard. You have to make the Twins appear just as the Money Ghost
hits 0 HP. If executed superbly, the Money Ghost will pour out money, yet
still be there while you have a brief chat with Henry and Orville. It will
be flying there waving its arms. Flashlights or the elements don't work!
He disappears after you leave the room. It may work if you mess with the
stuff and ignore the Money Ghost flying in the room, but I'm not sure...
Spotted by Fly Guy.
- When you shoot
fire, water, or ice out of your Poltergust 3000, the blast you're making
doesn't show up in mirrors! Spotted by Fly
Guy.
- If you lose
the last of your health by opening a fake door, after "Good night!" appears
on the screen, Luigi deflattens, but stands back up, although he should
still be down on the ground. Spotted by Super
Mario.
- During the
blackout, go to the bottom of the well and go to the very right and watch
the miniature version of the cutscene where Luigi sees King Boo looking
at the Mario painting. You will see the lights are on. After the cutscene
if you look carefully the lights in the same room are off and King Boo
isn't there either. Spotted by Popple
Koopa.
- Ok, this one
is hard to pull off. When you capture your 50th Boo try to stand at the
exact spot the Golden Diamond will land. If you do it correctly Luigi will
have the diamond attached to his hand while talking to E. Gadd on the GB
Horror. And don't worry, you'll get the diamond when you're done talking.
Spotted by Larry.
- When you light
the candles in the Mirror Room, you won’t see the fire in the mirror. Spotted
by doopliss’ twin.
- Once you've cleared the first hallway,
go to the courtyard and go back inside again through the same door you
used to go outside. While Luigi is opening/closing the door to go inside
the cleared hallway, the "haunted mansion" music will play when it's supposed
to be Luigi's whistling! This also works if you go from outside the mansion
to the Rec Room, except you'll hear ghosts murmuring when Luigi's entering
the room. Spotted by Ness vs Mario.
- Go up to a fake door and spray fire
on it. It will slowly disappear. Right before it completely disappears
(you should only see a shadow of the door on the wall), press A to open
the door. You should get slammed against the wall, by nothing! Spotted
by Ness vs Mario.
- Even if you beat King Boo and get
a gold or silver frame, it still shows that you got a bronze frame in the
credits! Found by GeneralBleck666.
- In the Pottery
Room, go up to the table near the top of the room. You'll see three boxes
underneath it. If you vacuum these boxes, instead of vibrating like they
should, they instead swivel as if they were a pot. Spotted by Giga
Bowser NS.
Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside
Story
- When the Magic Window attack is used,
if one of the Brothers is poisoned, this will be ignored during the attack.
Spotted by Your Twin the Fourth.
- When using Broggy Bonker while facing
just one enemy, even after it is defeated, the attack will continue, and
the attack's sound effects will play as well. Spotted by Your
Twin the Fourth.
- When a Jailgoon
is defeated, the captor generously throws a Super Mushroom to you and runs.
This makes sense for the Bros, but not for Bowser - his main way of healing
is by eating Drumsticks, not Mushrooms! Spotted by MammaMia64.
- If a Naplock
is asleep in battle, it may blow a bubble with a Super Mushroom in it that
heals you if you let it touch you. Again, this doesn't make sense, since
Bowser eats Drumsticks instead of Mushrooms! Spotted by MammaMia64.
Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time
- When the four Marios encounter Kamek
in Baby Bowser’s Castle, he creates a Goomba in the field for you to fight,
but when you automatically enter the battle, it’s a Boo! Plus, at this
stage of this game, Boo is supposed to be faster than Mario and Luigi,
yet in this tutorial of how to fight piggyback, both Bros. will attack
first.
- When you use baby cake at Star Temple’s
final puzzle, get under a small space, and jump up. If you look close enough
you can see the edge of the Brothers' hats as if they were big! Spotted
by
Shady Parakoopa.
- If you jump on a baby spring pad
just as they are about to leave the baby cake form, the brothers will disappear!
Spotted by Shady Parakoopa.
- In Superstar Saga, Bowser called
the Koopa Cruiser his “newest weapon”. But in this game, he already has
it! Hasn’t Bowser got a new weapon since then? Spotted by jeffrey.
- For the description of the Para-Slacks,
it says they were made with Parakoopa wings, which, like the version of
this glitch in PM2, is the incorrect name for the enemy. Spotted by TJVJ7@aol.com.
- After you beat Bowser at the end
of the game, keep your eye on Baby Peach during the cutscene after the
defeat of Bowser. If you look at her when the Toadsworths are spinning,
her carriage moves a little bit all by itself. Spotted by E-Man.
- In the tutorial
on how to fight piggyback, Stuffwell is talking, but his mouth isn't moving.
Spotted by Paraboo.
- After you beat
Sunnycide, you can still go into Yoob's Belly. Well, go back in there and
throw off the Babies immediately. Walk towards the Spring Pad, but DON'T
jump on it. The Babies should go UNDER the spring pad! Found by Pokefan.
- You know how in one point of Super
Mario RPG, Toad will walk through you? Well, it's in reverse here. How
to do it: Make Mario jump while moving forward in front of ANY Toad in
Princess Peach's Castle. Mario will go over him, but Luigi will go through
poor old Toad! Doesn't he get tortured enough in Luigi's Do-It-Your-Stinkin'-Self?
Yeah, I think so. Spotted by TJVJ7@aol.com.
- In Baby Bowser's
Castle, in one of the rooms with blue pipes, you can throw the Babies up
onto the save album. As usual, they will slide off. But if you threw them
from the right of the album, they (or just Baby Mario) slide into the lava!
Now they can walk up and down on the lava! Spotted by Metal
Piranha.
- When you learn
the Baby Cakes and the Baby Spin, you have to rescue Baby Peach from a
hole in the castle. When you find her, don't walk up to her. Instead go
around her from her side on the top and go to her. Baby Luigi should walk
right through her! Spotted by Metal
Sonic.
- In the battle with, Princess Shroob,
um... Well, you know that attack where she gets out those robotic legs
on her shield? Well, if she does it to Luigi, look closely at the back
leg. Mario and Baby Mario go through it and behind it several times! Spotted
by Super Mario.
- After you fight
Bowser and Baby Bowser in Thwomp Volcano, you can't see the bridge
to the blue pipe when Bowser it going back to the present. It's possible
to not hit it and not make the bridge, but either way you don't see it.
Spotted by P.T. Piranha.
- In the tutorial
on how to use hammers, when it's Baby Mario's turn to defend, let go of
X before the Hammer Bro. tells you and the gameplay will stop! Spotted
by Toadette.
- Go to Toad Town and on the left side
there should be 2 houses. Go to the northern one and you should see two
ways to get into the house by digging. In between them is a post with a
west side and a north side. Dig and go straight into the post, and you'll
be on top of the house. From there you can go on the tall grass! Spotted
by Pig koopa.
- If you look through the credits,
you'll see scenes from the game in the order in which they happened. Here's
the thing: after the scene in Yoob's Belly, you'll see the Toadsworths
spinning in front of Baby Peach in the next scene. You never see the Toadsworths
spinning in the pre-Gritzy Desert stage; that scene should've been placed
before the Yoshi's Island scene! Spotted by Your
Twin the Fourth.
- When standing next to a Toad, Mario
can get stuck next to one and the only way to get away is to jump. You
can move around when doing this but can't walk. Spotted by Darkness
Yoshi.
- In Thwomp Volcano, next to the three
warp pipes, if you walk to the edge of the rightmost middle Thwomp and
hold down, Mario will walk out in the air. Spotted by Darkness
Yoshi.
- If you enter
the castle as the Babies after you rescue Baby Peach via the baby spin,
Baby Mario jumps near the end of the cutscene, except it will be the older
Mario's jump sound instead of the higher-pitched version that plays when
the Babies jump. Spotted by MammaMia64.
- Ice Flowers
do critical damage to Blazing Shroobs, but for some reason, the ice balls
don't put out the fire on its head. Spotted by MammaMia64.
Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga
- When you use Mario's Fire Tickle
to knock one of those big Troopas over in field mode, if Mario and Luigi
would have kept going if they had not run into the Troopa, then after they
hit it, the sound effect of Mario and Luigi running keeps going. Spotted
by Double D.
- When Bowletta kidnaps Peach, Luigi
shouts "Mamamia" - in Mario's voice. Spotted by Extreme
nintendo master.
- At Beanbean
International Airport, Mario talks to Lady Lima in Luigi's voice. Spotted
by Axemblack97.
- After defeating Iggy, if you use
Fire Tickle to run into that portal thing where Iggy was standing, Mario
and Luigi will walk in place frozen like that and all you can do is shut
off the game. Spotted by William.
- After Iggy spins around Mario
and Luigi, if you press the directional pad as Iggy jumps to the other
side of the room, the Mario Bros. will travel in that direction, not a
different direction, until the screen comes back to them. (One would think
that the Bros. would have become dizzy by the time Iggy finished spinning
around them.) Spotted by William.
- If you go to an area with different
music as either Mini Mario or Mole Luigi, in some cases the music will
not change. The weird thing is that the music goes back to the beginning
of the track. The track will change
once you go into another area with
different music. Spotted by Jeffrey.
-Nintendo added a secret to giving
you coins. Here's a quick rundown of it:
1. Make Mario mini
2. Make Luigi use high jump
3. While L is in the air, make M jump
4. Luigi loses one health segment,
but one coin pops out!
BUT... that was added on perpose! So
this is not the glitch! The glitch is...
Use the coin trick in Fawful's room
in Bowser's Castle. Oddly, the Bros. vanish and the game freezes! Look
at the yellow spots in the lava; they don't move, weird. My guess is that
Nintendo forgot to add the pose Luigi makes in that certain room, and when
you do it the game detects the missing data there, causing it to freeze.
Spotted by GlitchGuy2.
- After you defeat Popple and Rookie
for the Beanstar and fall off from its rage, the Bros. will fall to the
ground of the Oho Island. Luigi will pop up and call for Mario. The first
time he will call in his own voice, but the second time he calls in Mario's.
Spotted by Koopiana Jones.
- During the Lemmy battle in Bowser's
Castle (or, should I say, Bowletta's Castle), wait for him to attack you
in his shell. It should be as big as his siblings' shells, even though
he's clearly smaller. Spotted by TJVJ7@aol.com.
- In Woohoo Hooniversity, right before
the fight with Cackletta, when Luigi hits Fawful with his hammer, it has
the dunk effect of Mario's hammer instead of Luigi's own flattening effect.
Spotted by P.T. Piranha.
- If you hit Bowser with your hammer
after you kill Cackletta, the hammer goes right through him. Spotted by
goombuster.
- When fighting Bowletta, when she
breathes flarets at you, after she is done, for a split second, you can
see your dodge action command change from jump to hammer even though there
is nothing to hammer counter! Spotted by Trollish
Beastfighter.
- Remember after you "defeat" Bowletta,
you get sucked into her belly and are revived with 1HP left. Now
the part that doesn't really make sense by concept is why your BP goes
back up to maximum. The reason is simple. Because after defeating
boss battles, your stats go back to maximum, now here, it just wasn't completely
fixed. Spotted by Trollish
Beastfighter.
- When drinking Teehee blends, make
sure you take off that Cobalt Tie (which doubles statche stat), because
either way, you only get four additional statche points, and because of
that, if you so happen to remove the tie at another point, you'll see that
you only really gained two points! Same with Teeheesspresso if it raises
that stat (from six to three). Spotted by Trollish
Beastfighter.
- When fighting Hoohooroos, I had my
Bounce Bros. move trained enough to get the advanced command that allows
you to hit two enemies at once with normal jumping strength. As you should
know, the pillars that protect Hoohooroos have 2 HP. No problem for the
advanced command if you can nail it. So anyway, I targeted the pillar that
Hoohooroos was hiding under. Luigi destroyed that pillar while Mario destroyed
the other. That was correct so far. The odd part was how Hoohooroos responded.
Somehow, by some glitch, both the pillars reapeared, but in a glitchy manner
of the pillar sprites dissapearing and reapearing. The graphical error
was only 10% of the error. It is the fact that the game acted as if I never
hit the pillars at all, and Hoohooroos I believe hid under the same pillar
anyway after all that rigamorale. Yeah, the only evidence that I had hit
the pillars was the fact that I was missing some BP. So if you intend to
speed up the battle by using Adv Bounce Bros, be very sure to have Luigi
target the pillar Hoohooroos is NOT under. Found by Trollish
Beastfighter.
- When Mario
and Luigi get hand massages from Merri and Gigi (Jellyfish Sisters), Mario
will accidentally charge up his Hand Power. While charging up, it sounds
like Luigi charging up his Hand Power instead. Spotted by Luigi's
High Jumpin' Second in Command.
- After you get the hammer, go down
the mountain and you will see a flaming rock. If you touch it the Brothers
won't make any sound, but if you fill Mario with water and then touch it,
he makes the sound. Spotted by joseph
koopa.
- Make Mario
tiny, then go to the cafe and get any drink. When Mario holds the drink
he will be big, then when he puts it away he will be tiny again. Spotted
by Shade.
- You can't do
the Luigi dunk on metal. However, when Luigi is able to dunk Fawful even
though he's on metal! Found by Yosh4000.
- When you're
in Beanbean Airport, make one of the Piranha Plants fill up with water,
then use High Jump when you're on either the left or right side of the
Piranha Plant. This won't work if you're in front of or behind it. When
you use High Jump, try to jump over the Piranha Plant. Afterwards the Bros.
should be on opposite sides of the Plant. Then if you try to move Mario,
Luigi will go through the Piranha Plant. Spotted by Optorking2.
- If you have
Luigi in front, go inside the Mushroom Embassy in Little Fungitown. If
you walk up to the front desk, the Toad behind it talks to Luigi without
pressing a button! Spotted by luigiluvr.
- Before you battle Bowletta, have
Luigi make Mario small with his hammer, then go to Bowletta. When she starts
spitting fireballs, Mario will be normal size all of a sudden! Spotted
by Toadette.
- When you "defeat" Bowletta, watch
Luigi's feet, they go the opposite way Luigi is spinning! Spotted by Toadette.
- When fighting
Popple and Rookie for the first time, just ignore Rookie and defeat Popple.
When he's dead, beat Rookie up until he breathes fire. After he says that
it's spicy there will be a pause as if Popple is still there! Spotted by
larry.
- After defeating Cackletta in Bowser's
Castle, press select to open the suitcase while Cackletta's music is beginning
to fade. The music will still play until you talk to Peasley. Sometimes
the music will mess up all of the other music until you return to the title
screen. Spotted by Darkness Yoshi.
- In Beanbean Castle Sewers, go to
a spin wheel and face the opposite direction of it. When you stop, Mario
will land on top of the spin wheel. Spotted by Darkness

- When you fight
Popple in Teehee Valley and he steals your Hammer, he'll have a Super Hammer,
even though you have Ultra Hammers at this point. Spotted by Your

- In the battle
against Popple and Birdo, if you defeat Popple before Birdo, he disappears.
But when Birdo "protects" Popple (i.e, puts him in an egg), he appears
again. He remains for the rest of the battle. You can't attack him
though because he is already defeated. After defeating Birdo, he still
stays on the screen through the victory screen. He won't disappear until
the battle is 100% over. Spotted by UltraLemmy.
- The first time
I was fighting Jojora and her friend (I think I chose Teeheelina), I defeated
her, but that same turn Jojora came back with her wand. Then the text started
whacking out, then the game froze. It might be because the game was programmed
so that Jojora's friend would attack after she got her wand, but because
of the missing data being detected by the game, it froze, and I had to
redo the entire fight. Spotted by MammaMia64.
- When in the fight with Bowletta after
she turns into Dark Bowletta, wait for a star attack. When she throws the
stars at you, throw enough stars back at her so that she loses all of her
HP and gets "defeated", but in the process she still hits Mario and Luigi
with enough stars to kill them too. If performed correctly, the Bob-omb
that comes out from behind when Bowletta is "defeated" will kill Mario
and Luigi. The glitch is, however, that they are already dead from Bowletta's
star attack. Essentially, the Bob-omb will come out despite the Bros. already
laying on the ground. It will explode and no death animation will play,
they'll just stay laying there. The screen will fade to black and the music
will get slightly slower as if it is moving on to the next battle, but
my guess is the game wants to trigger a "Game Over" but can't given the

this is because the game has a set ratio to slow down the music, with a

- In Luigi Circuit, turn around at
the start, use a Mushroom to boost up the ramp on the left, and jump at
the top. If you do it right you'll fly off the course, fall through a hill
in the background, and eventually get placed back on the course backwards.

went flyin' up towards it! Spotted by Dry_Bonerangs.
- I went to Airship
Fortress and went backwards through the crate room (not in reverse, I just
u-turned). Lakitu showed his "Turn Around" sign, but I went next to a crate
and it knocked him away! This works in most tracks wih obstacles. Spotted
by Dry_Bonerangs.
- Remember when I mentioned
that Big Bob-omb often throws bombs into himself when you are facing away
from him? There is yet another glitch that makes it even EASIER to beat
him and get three stars! So let's assume you've boosted into him from the
start and collected the Bob-omb on the right, by then he should throw a
bomb into himself. You throw the Bomb you have into him as he gets up.
Now the glitch is how to hit him a third time and still get three stars.
By now, he should jump up very high. Three bombs drop from above in a triangle
formation, and an item box is in the middle of the triangle. Collect the
item there, and you get a bomb. The bombs around you should explode without
hurting you. By now, Big Bob-omb will land on you, crushing you. This causes
you to drop your item, which then immediately explodes and kills Big Bob-omb.
Even though you technically have taken damage twice (which should bring
your rank to one star normally), you still have three balloons and win
with three stars! You must try this even if the boss is easy without using
glitches. This method of beating him is hilarious and very easy to perform
in real time. Spotted by Trollish
Beastfighter.

a character selected, and then press 2 to go back to the character select
screen. Now, everyone should have the same character selected. Spotted

- In Peach's
Garden, if you scrape against a bush right before one of the Chain Chops
hits you, it won't knock you away, but you'll still hear the metal sound
of hitting it. Spotted by Leah Koopa.
- In Toad's Factory,
when you jump out of the exit into the dirt area, the music automatically
restarts. Spotted by Leah Koopa.
- On GCN DK Mountain, at the bottom
of the hill that the boulders roll down there are cracks in the road. They
are wide enough for a kart/bike to fall down, but you don't. Spotted by
Liquidizer.
- I was riding
along in a kart around Funky's stadium, when I went to that giant platform
(you know, the one with the hole). When I was going up the dash panel on
one of the sides with the hole entrance, I was dashing and hit the top
of the hole entrance. What's weird is that I was
stuck halfway
between the dash panel and the hole, and I kept dashing. I couldn't go
forward, so I turned off of the dash panel, and it stopped. Spotted by
UltraLemmy.
Mario Kart 64
- In Block Fort, you can run into the
tip corner of any block on the ground level and sometimes fall into a black
area and land in water. I was embarrassed and shocked when this first happened
to me. Spotted by Chocolate Thunder.
- Enter Battle
Mode, and choose Block Fort. Play as Bowser, Wario, or Donkey Kong, and
have a friend play as Toad or Peach. Have your friend place Toad/Peach
against the far wall, and then collect a Starman. Now ram him/her head
on against the wall with the Starman power activated. This will usually
smash Toad/Peach into a black area with water, but instead of losing two
balloons, he/she only loses one! If done just as the Starman power runs
out, Bowser/Wario/DK will be in the black area too. Spotted by Kody.
- In Battle Mode,
if you have a Red Shell, shoot it directly off an edge. Instead of falling
down, it will stop and spin in place! Not only that, it will have a blue
aura around it! Spotted by Kody.
- Enter Mario
Grand Prix, and play as Yoshi. Enter the Star Cup and play all the way
to Bowser's Castle. Grab an item box and get the Fake Item. Now have Yoshi
drive into the lava. When Lakitu places Yoshi back onto the track, the
item box will have disappeared! However, it is actually still there, and
once you release Z the item will become visible again. Weird... Spotted
by Kody.
- Play a 2-player game and go to the
Royal Raceway. Then drive to the point where there's a road to Peach's
Castle. Go to Peach's Castle. Have the second player stay in the left-hand
corner of the castle door (the corner to the left of the front door). Have
the first player run into the second player. If lucky, the second player
will fall through the wall into a dark abyss. Luckily, Lakitu picks you
up as always. Spotted by Luigiluvr.
Mario Party Advance
- In the minigame Mush Rush, if you
make a Koopa Kid role away he should knock all the ones behind him away,
but if a blue Koopa Kid is on his back he won't fly away until after getting
up. Spotted by Iggy_Koopa.
Mario Party DS
- Watch closely during the ending credits.
When it comes to the voice actors, instead of putting Dolores Rogers (Bowser
Jr's voice actress), Nintendo put "Delores"! Spotted by Twin
the Fourth.
Mario Party

- If you check
the sound test, for Toad, instead of Disappointment, it says Diappointment.
Spotted by Dimentio.
Mario Party
6
- In the mini-game
Snow Brawl, the rules say that there are three Ukikki/Shy Guys to aid the
lone player, but the strange thing is that there are four in the mini-game.
Spotted by Kammy.
- The name of
the Roadblock Orb, "Koopa Troopa Orb", is incorrect, as a Paratroopa is
what shows up and switches players around. Spotted by S.
Koopa.
Mario Party 7
- The description of the Shopping Bonus
Star says that it is awarded to the player who buys the most orbs; but
in fact, it is awarded to player who spends the most money on orbs.
Mario Party
8
- In Koopa's
Tycoon Town, sometimes the Koopas will sound like Goombas! Spotted by Crazy
Koopa.
- In the mini-game
Water Ski Spree, the rules say Shy Guy throws you the coins, but he only
throws Spiny Eggs. Spotted by Crazy
Koopa.
- When Captain Shy Guy speaks to you
in Bowser's Warped Orbit, he makes a Goomba-like sound. Given he's an alien,
this could have been done intentionally. But when you press A on his figurine
in the Fun Bazaar, he makes a regular Shy Guy sound. Spotted by Super
Mario.
- If you play
Pickpocket Pinball at King Boo's Haunted Hideaway and land in the center,
the Mowz will sound like King Boo's disappointed voice! Spotted by Black
Boo.
Mario Power Tennis
- In the movies (mainly the opening
movie) to this game, there are many moments where things will go right
through other things. For example, when the Wario Bros. fall into Bowser's
gym, and Bowser hears them and turns around in his chair, then stands up,
watch his tail the whole time; when he stands up and walks toward Wario
and Waluigi, his tail will go right through the chair, as if it were not
there. Spotted by Z-Kidd 500.
- In the opening movie, when Bowser
has the tennis ball shooter go off, showing the Warios how to practice
to get good at tennis, the balls shoot out of their tubes, but before Bowser
can hit them, the screen cuts to see the Warios, then when it cuts back,
you should expect to see Bowser hitting the already shot out tennis balls;
but here's the mistake: according to this scene, the balls hadn't been
shot out just before the Warios were shown. Instead, Bowser waits a quick
second, and it is then that the tennis balls are shot out. Spotted by Z-Kidd
500.
Mario Superstar Baseball
- On Bowser's field, if you hit a foul
ball, the ball may fall in a lava pit. However, the ball does not sink
in the lava! Spotted by Denny W.
Koopa.
- When a Star Challenge says "more
than" - for example, cross the plate more than twice in a game - it really
means "at least".
- During the intro video, when Mario
points his bat to left field, there is no one else visible on the field.
It may be because they want to focus on where Mario will hit the ball,
but it still seems odd that there is no third baseman or left fielder.
Spotted by Yoshi_Lover.
Mario Tennis: Power Tour
- If you already beat the game on Singles,
when you're playing through Doubles and you challenge Elroy, he'll say,
"I hope you don't think you've already [one just because you can challenge
me." Spotted by The Fire Commander.
New Super Mario Bros
- In World 2 Castle when you get to
the desert part at the last switch, after you press it the timer music
will start and then stop. Spotted by Mario
Koopa.
- When you play
the main game as Luigi (by holding L and R as you press A whenever you
enter your file), not surprisingly, the player-controlled character looks
and sounds like Luigi, including his various Luigi-specific phrases. But
close and open the DS, and you'll still hear Mario's voice. "It's-a me,
Mario!" it'll say as you return. Really...? You have anything you want
to tell me, Luigi?
- Hit the flagpole
while there is an enemy onscreen. The points from the flagpole will remain
in midair rather than disappear. Spotted by lilboo.
- In the Danger,
Bob-omb, Danger! minigame, get as many points as you like and die. Even
though the fireballs on the bottom screen freeze entirely, the Bowser Statue
and its flames still move. Spotted by Pokefan.
- In the pictures
for the Table minigames Picture Poker and Pair-a-Gone, you can see cards
that doesn’t exist in the games! Spotted by jumpman.
- In the last
boss battle, you can walk straight through Peach and her platform! Spotted
by Jumpman.
- If you hold
anything and stand on a rotating platform, they act like normal platforms
except that they rotate! Spotted by Jumpman.
- If you are
mini (or maybe small) and climb up as high as possible on a "swinging bar",
and then swing back and forth, you'll swing backwards! Spotted by Jumpman.
- If you swing
back and forth as Shell Mario/Luigi, his legs point out of a part of the
shell that isn't the leg holes! Spotted by Jumpman.
- Mario has no
shadow on the overworld, but the flying ? Blocks do! Spotted by Jumpman.
- In 6-B, when
one of the purple mushrooms is falling over, it looks basically like
this. That is, the stem is weird. Spotted by Jumpman.
- In world 2
castle, go to the ledge about halfway through the outdoor part (the one
with a cannon and a ? Switch). Crouch, then jump onto the cannon and next
to the ? Switch. Crouch-jump toward the wall, and in midair let go of crouch
and quickly press it again. You should go THROUGH the wall like there's
a conveyor belt inside! Spotted by Dry_Bonerangs.
- On page 12 in New Super Mario Bros.
manual, the screenshot shows Mario on the map... while the picture used
the beta version of the "touch world menu". Spotted by P.T.
Piranha.
- Most of the
time I'm goofing off whenever I finish a game, and this is a weird little
thing. Go into World 6-B when you're Mini Mario and there's a red box that
contains a random item. Since Mini Mario is so small, whenever he get's
into a Warp Pipe Launcher thingy, he goes about 5 times further. Go into
the pipe at the beginning of the level, and Mini Mario will be launched
up into the air. The red box will fly across the screen above the area
of land where Mario is supossed to be. Anyways, Mario will go way up into
the screen, and he won't come back for a few seconds. The red box that
was floating across the screen will disappear! Whenever you complete the
level (as whatever), the box in 6-B on the map screen will be gone. Here's
the thing though, you never opened it up or anything, and it would normally
still be there, only going to a new level if it wasn't opened. But it appears
that it was opened. Spotted by Extreme
Yoshi.
Paper Mario
- At the end of Chapter 3 when you
fight Jr. Troopa in Forever Forest, he calls himself Jr. Koopa. Spotted
by Koopaling14.
- In the battle between Peach and Twink
vs. Kammy Koopa, when Twink knocks Kammy out and she falls on the ground
unconscious, the outline under her mouth will sometimes dissapear. Spotted
by Kyoni Yoshi.
- When Watt gets ultra-upgraded it
says Watt is a he instead of a she. Spotted by Koopaling
Josh.
- If you are in the secret room in
Tubba Blubba's Castle with the three weakened floors leading to the room
with the spring on the first floor, and you have Parakarry out, when you
ground pound the top right weakened floor, Parakarry will change to Mario
as Mario falls through the floor. Spotted by Shady
Parakoopa.
- If you fight Kent C. Koopa with Goombario
out and during battle you change to Watt, when the battle's over Watt will
be looking the opposite direction. Spotted by Shady
Parakoopa.
- When you fight Super Blooper, if
you use jump and time the action command right, when Mario jumps in the
air again he'll disappear. Spotted by Shady
Parakoopa.
- Talk to Kolorado's wife from the
left with Parakerry out and he'll hit the chair and will keep trying to
fly left during the entire conversation. Spotted by Shady
Parakoopa.
- If you use Star Storm to win a fight
with Parakarry out, he'll freeze up during the attack and stay frozen until
all the Star Points are added up. Spotted by Shady
Parakoopa.
- In the hedge maze in Flower Fields,
if you have Watt out as you enter the maze all you'll see of her is one
thunder bolt, but if you enter it from the other side you can see half
her face. Spotted by Shady Parakoopa.
- Before the
pathetic battle with the Koopa Troopas and the Bob-omb, pay attention to
the Koopa that's speaking. His mouth isn't moving when he speaks! Spotted
by TJVJ7@aol.com.
- You know how
before the worst (and easiest) battle in the game, the Koopa Troopa's mouth
doesn't move? Well, it's in Bowser's Castle, too. Right before the battle
with the Koopatrols (who fear Mario for some reason) and Magikoopa (Kamek?),
the Koopatrols' mouths won't move when they speak and rant about fearing
Mario, while Kamek's? mouth does! How many times do I have to say that
when someone speaks, their mouth should move? Found by Pokefan.
- After you beat
Bowser, the billboard in Toads Town names Mario and his partners. I didn’t
know he had one named Lady Boo! Spotted by Crazy
Koopa.
- During the cutscene after defeating
the Goomba King, Bowser indirectly states that the closest Star Spirit
to Mario is in Koopa Bros. Fortress. However, in terms of blocks (the often
octagonal parts of the overworld), the distance from just outside Toad
Town (where Mario is at the time) to the outside of the fortress is nine
blocks. Shy Guy's Toy Box, however, is five blocks away (seven if you count
the two rooms in the house that contains the Toy Box). So why would Bowser
think that Koopa Bros. Fortress is closer? While there is debris blocking
Mario's path to the Toy Box at this point, it is doubtful that either Bowser
or Kammy would know about it since Bowser spends nearly all of the game
in Peach's castle and Kammy has been observing Mario at that time. Spotted
by supercomputer276. Lemmy adds:
The Star Spirit in Flower Fields may also be closer, at least by panels.
Of course this doesn't count the fact that Mario must travel around the
world to find those seeds, and then travel throughout Flower Fields in
order to get up to the sky.
- When Peach deposits an item in the
magical chest in the castle storeroom, the message confirming the deposit
doesn't have a period on the end. Spotted by supercomputer276.
- When Peach's
castle rises into the sky, Peach looks out the window and says that she
can't see any stars out. She must be as blind as a bat because you can
see plenty of stars! Spotted by Shady
Parakoopa.
- In Goomba Village,
right before you leave with Goombario, Goompapa will say that you’re not
wearing the badge he gave you... but he wasn't the one who gave it to you!
Goompa was the one who gave it to you! Spotted by Shady
Parakoopa.
- In the VC version
of Paper Mario, during the classic "Mario falling asleep to the wizard's
long tale" scene, when Mario wakes up he'll shake his head yes... but his
head glitches halfway through it, making it look like he's giving an extra
head nod to Merlon. Spotted by Shady
Parakoopa.
- In the Koopa
Bros' Fortress, after you lower the stairs so you can blow up the wall
and grab the caged key, look closly at the hole you came from. You can
still see the scar that showed you could blow up the wall! Spotted by Shady
Parakoopa.
- When you have
Parakarry out and you go to Mario's house for the first time, Luigi will
act like he has never seen Parakarry, but he's their mailman! Spotted by
multiss
guy.
- I defeated
Tutankoopa when he was on the ground after he'd fallen when he hit himself
with his own attack (moron...). However, during the cutscene after his
defeat, he fell from his platform! Spotted by Joshua.
- When Twink tells you
about the Star Spirit in Shy Guy's Toy Box you can see his shadow under
his feet FLOATING IN MIDAIR! Look closely under his feet in the white fence.

- In Koopa Village
there is a house with a Koopa in it sitting in a chair and listening to
the radio. If you switch the channel it will play a remix of Super Mario
World's ending theme, and the Koopa will say, "Golden Oldies remind me
of the good old days," as if Mario games exist in the Marioverse. Spotted
by the game prince.
- In the first
area of the Boo settlement in Gusty Gulch, some Boos will be flying overhead.
They seem to have shadows that inexplicably float in midair. Even more
strange is the fact that the shadows are stationary, while the Boos are
constantly moving around. Spotted by Sgt.
Fly.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
- In Chapter 8, when you go up to the
big device in the building containing the eight Palace Keys, if Gonzalez
Jr. is your current partner, he will say, "Mario! Look at that!" even though
he usually calls him "Gonzales". Spotted by Super
Mario.
- In the Tattle Log, there is a period
behind Vivian's stats. No other enemy has this. Spotted by Super
Mario.
- In the Tattle Log, KP Koopa's defense
stat says "Defense is 1" instead of "Defense: 1". Spotted by Super
Mario.
- When you Tattle on a Paragloomba,
Goombella will say it's a stronger version of a Parakoopa. The correct
name of the enemy is Paratroopa, and even then it seems that Goombella
really has Paragoomba in mind. Spotted by Super
Mario.
- If you are wearing a W Emblem or
L Emblem badge and sell it, your clothes will stay that color until you
leave the area. Spotted by VGMaster64.
- In the Tattle Log for Spinia, the
colon and the three have no space between them, unlike with all the other
tattles. Spotted by Dark Koopa.
- In the Tattle Log, "Various" is written for
the location were you fight Kammy Koopa, meaning you fight her in several
locations. However, that is incorrect, as you only fight her once. Spotted
by Jr.
Troopa.
- When you go to Rogueport Sewers with Goombella
and Prof. Frankly, you encounter a trio of Goombas that you have to fight.
One of them is a Spiky Goomba. In the battle,
the prof. says "The only one I should warn you about is the Spiny
Goomba". Spotted by Jr.
Troopa.
- In the Tattle Log, there's a period
after Lakitu's HP, unlike with most of the other tattles. Spotted by Dark
Koopa.
- When you're in the X-Nauts' locker
room as 8-bit characters, if you have Vivian out and run, her shadow will
be way behind her. Spotted by Pennington.
- When you're on the moving stairs
at the start of X-Naut Fortress, if you run halfway up and stop, your partner
will still be running in place. Spotted by Pennington.
- Go to the menu, and check on your
partners. Normally when you're checking on a specific partner, said partner
will start moving, while the others ones completely freeze. This doesn't
seem to stop Vivian though, as her stem keeps moving. Spotted by Kyoni
Yoshi.
- When you get to the Bowser cut-scene
after finishing Chapter One, you notice that when he touches a wall, face
forward, his face seems to go through it. Spotted by Antwan.
- Ok, this is a bit weird but it's
true! When you're battling Doopliss for the final time in Chapter 4, if
you win with Doopliss's partner burned by Vivian (I tried it with Koops)
and get a level up after beating them, then while you choose which stat
to upgrade, Doopliss' partner's burn symbol will still be there! To get
rid of it, just level up. Spotted by Extreme
nintendo master.
- In Chapter 2, when the Punies join
your party for the chapter, you will notice that they don't make any noise.
Look closer to see their legs aren't moving, although the Punies are moving
anyway. Spotted by TJVJ7@aol.com.
- In the Tattle Guide, look at Mini-X-Yux's
Attack. Instead of "Attack: 0", it will say "Attack is 0". This bug is
kind of similar to the KP Koopa glitch, but about Attack instead of Defense.
Spotted by TJVJ7@aol.com.
- When you tattle on Rawk Hawk, Goombella
will say that his Defense is 1, however, his Defense is 0. This also appears
in the Tattle Log. Spotted by Kyoni
Yoshi.
- When you follow Mayor Dour to his
house after you first arrive in Twilight Town, if there's a pig in the
way, Mario will walk right through it. Spotted by Kyoni
Yoshi.
- In Chapter 8, get into the Shadow
Sirens fight. Wait for Marilyn to raise her attack points. It will say
that her attack points were raised by 7, but, in fact, her attack points
were raised by 13! Weird. It should have said 13 instead of 7! Spotted
by TJVJ7@aol.com.
- In the first chapter, wait until
Koops joins you. When Koopie Koo is trying to convince Koops to stay in
Petalburg instead of going to Hooktail Castle, she will say Hooktail is
a he. Then later, when you tattle on Hooktail during the boss fight, Goombella
will say that Hooktail is an it. To find out Hooktail's true gender, fight
your way to Chapter 8 and go to Gloomtail's room; he will reveal Hooktail's
true gender before battle. The second part of the bug also appears in the
Tattle Log. Spotted by TJVJ7@aol.com.
- In the Tattle Log, there are three
enemies that have a period after their Defense. The three are Vivian,
Moon Cleft, and Lakitu. Lakitu also has a comma after his HP. Spotted by
Pokefan.
- When you use Tattle on a Koopa Troopa,
Goombella never actually tells you what their stats are; you have to look
them up in the Tattle Log. Found by Cyber
Guy.
- Here's a weird glitch that can ONLY
be accessed by beating Gloomtail but NOT leaving his room. Here's how it
goes: Beat up the somewhat-powerful dragon and get the Sun Stone. If your
partner is Goombella, use her field mode ability. She will say Gloomtail
is not in the room anymore (Probably because he "died". He actually fainted).
That is not true, as Gloomtail's fainted body is still in the room. Weird,
isn't it? Found by Pokefan.
- Late in the
game, you'll get an Email from Pa-Patch (the big Bob-omb sailor). Among
other things, he mentions something that Flavio says to him sometimes.
He says that he tunes Flavio out. But Flavio isn't on the island with him!
Flavio is in Podley's cola shop in Rogueport! Spotted by Double D.
- After Chapter
4, go to the Trouble Center and pick the trouble that has ??? as the person's
name. Get the badge at Hooktail's Castle using Flurrie. Return to Rogueport
and go to the roof left of the badge shop. On the roof, Ms. Mowz is waiting
there. Talk to her and she'll join your party. Now here's where I found
the bug. Make sure she's out in the field with Mario. Use a healing item
(Mushroom, Honey Syrup, etc.) it'll show all your partners' names including
Ms. Mowz. Now make sure a different partner is out in the field with you
this time. Use a healing item and it'll show your partners' names. However,
Ms. Mowz's name is replaced with Bobbery, who will later join Mario in
chapter 5 at Keelhaul Key. Spotted by Luigi’s
High Jumpin’ Second in Command.
- During the
cutscene where the people from the different chapters are encouraging Mario,
King K. is a Shady Koopa, instead of a K.P. Koopa! Spotted by P.T.
Piranha.
- After turning
purple, I was messing around the pause screen. During that, I went to the
"Mario" section. Mario was normal! But when I went back, he was purple
again. Spotted by P.T. Piranha.
- Use Clock Out
on a Bulky Bob-omb, and immobilize it. Clock Out's effect is to immobilize
the enemy so it can't move. For some reason, it can still light up its
fuse even though it's frozen in time. Spotted by Luigi's
High Jumpin' Second in Command.
- When you're
somewhere in the 90s floors in The Pit of 100 Trials and you encounter
a Bob-ulk, have Gombella tattle on the Bob-ulk. She'll say it's the biggest
Bob-omb she ever saw. She's wrong because a Bulky Bob-omb is a tad bigger
than a Bob-ulk. Maybe the darkness of The Pit of 100 Trials made it hard
for her to see... Spotted by Luigi's
High Jumpin' Second in Command.
- In the X-Naut
base in the rooms with the tiles, make sure Mario is standing on a safe
one. Have Flurrie out. She floats, by the way. Push her to an unsafe one
and she'll get shocked even though she's floating above it. Spotted by
Luigi's
High Jumpin' Second in Command.
- Make sure Vivian
is out with Mario on the field. Push her off a ledge. Instead of falling,
she'll stretch. Press R on the controller to make Mario and Vivian turn
sideways. Vivian will go back to her regular length, but she'll float in
midair. Spotted by Luigi's High
Jumpin' Second in Command.
- In Chapter
6, go just outside the Riverside Station and Mario will be in slow-mo!
Spotted by Geno.
- If you beat
Gus before visiting Professor Frankly for the first time, his Tattle Log
page will be in Frankly's garbage can. But you won't be able to pick it
up after you're done talking to Frankly! You'll need to leave the area
and come back before you can collect this precious (if by then useless)
info.
- When you tattle
on Rawk Hawk Goombella will say that he has a defense of one, when he doesn't!
What's Goombella's problem? Spotted by Gerdy64.
- Hold up Bobbery
right before entering a door. At the same moment that he is about to explode,
go inside. You'll start to move inside, then he'll explode, sending you
back outside into a blank and empty world! Thanks a lot, you stupid sailor!
Now I'm in limbo! Spotted by Shady
Parakoopa.
- After beating
Bonetail, stay in the room where his corpse is just laying there. Use Goombella's
Tattle ability and she will say that this is the room where he used to
be, but he's still in the room! Spotted by Shady
Parakoopa.
- In Chapter
6, when talking to Ghost T. on the Excess Express, he says that he can't
hold physical items. But later, on the back of the bulletin board, he's
written a message about his diary. How'd he do that if he can't use a pen?
Spotted by Joshua.
- When Mario emerges from the toilet
during Chapter 3, leave the bathroom and then check the door again. The
voice inside will shout "OCCUPIED!" as usual, despite the fact that Mario
and his partner just left the area and there was no one else in there!
Spotted by supercomputer276.
- If you are
on a ? Block or low platform and a Piranha Plant pops up just next to it,
you'll occasionally get a First Strike jump instead of the Plant biting
into you. Of course, it'll be a bittersweet strike unless you have the
Spike Shield badge equipped. Spotted by Kody.
- This is quite
weird. I was battling some Flower Fuzzies on Keelhaul Key, and one of them
had a Volt Shroom. I had the Zap Tap badge on, and that Fuzzy used the
item and jumped on me. It got shocked on impact, but I lost 3FP anyway!
For some strange reason the Fuzzy was stuck on me and kept sucking FP until
its own health ran out! I lost 18FP from that single attack! It may have
been a glitch, or a one-time deal... Spotted by Kody.
- Goombella can
use the Multibonk on you as you're fighting "Mario" at the end of Chapter
4, even if you haven't upgraded her. Spotted by P.T.
Piranha.
- If you look
at the back of the Excess Express when its going from the station in Rogueport
and Riverside, the caboose doesn't have the stairs or window to the roof.
Spotted by Crazy Koopa.
- When you first
see the Smorgs form into one, Chef Shimi isn't moving. But when the battle
starts, he starts moving. Spotted by Crazy
Koopa.
- Look around
for a Koopatrol. If you look closely at him, you can see that he has no
feet! Spotted by Ryan "Blaze" Koopa.
- After the first
visit to the 1000-Year Door, Goombella talks, but her mouth doesn't move.
She could just be talking through a closed mouth for some reason. Spotted
by P.T. Piranha.
- When fighting
the final battle, after the boss turns invincible and the battle stops
momentarily, there’s a brief second in between the battle and the cinema.
If you’re lucky enough you can hit R at that exact moment. Your partner
will turn paper thin and Mario will have a weird, running, facing backwards
position. Mario then switches between paper thin and some kind of weird
pose as your partner stays thin. It even stays through the rest of the
battle and you go through the whole ending paper thin! And for Mario’s
actions, like sitting or answering his mailbox SP, he just stands there
paper thin! Spotted by Super Troopa.
- In Chapter 2 when Lord Crump activates
the bomb, go and save. While saving, the timer stops but you can still
hear it ticking.
Spotted by Luigi.
- During the Prologue, you go with
Goombella and Frankly and find the Thousand-Year Door underneath Rogueport.
You return to Frankly's and he has the map on the table. However if you
look very closely, the locations of all the Stars are on the map! You haven't
even discovered them! When he gives you the map back they are gone! Spotted
by Erica Connery.
- While fighting Doopliss when he's
Mario and has his partners, using an Ice Storm will freeze him. Defeat
the partner he currently has, then he'll act as if he wasn't frozen, saying
"Ughhhh..." and switching partners. He'll still be frozen but won't have
the pose he was in while he was frozen until the frozen status ends. Spotted
by
Crazy Koopa.
- In Chapter 3 in the Glitz Pit, get
the key for the Storage Room at the phone booth outside. During the cutscene
before you can open the door, Jolene is talking to a security guard, and
the first thing the guard says is "I'm awful sorry, Ms. Jolene." Shouldn't
he say awfully instead of awful? I'm sure he failed grammar at school.
His teacher must be disappointed. Spotted by Ckday.
- While in the
Pit of 100 Trials, floor 21, I fought a Spiky Gloomba, who i failed to
hit with a super hammer spin. I ended up fighting two Spiky Gloombas,
a Bob-omb (which held a Super Mushroom), and a Bandit. When I beat
them, the Spiky Gloomba was still there, flashing like I had run away.
When I fought it again, the two Spiky Gloombas, Bob-omb, and Bandit I fought
before were there. The Bob-omb even had a Super Mushroom again, while
the Bandit still had the coin it had stolen from me in the first battle
and run away with. Spotted by UltraLemmy.
Super Mario
Advance
- First enter
Wart's room with Luigi. Try doing a charged-up jump up to where you fell
from. Now go to the right, and you will be on top of the ceiling! You can
walk around there freely and watch Wart launch bubbles at nobody. Spotted
by Fly Guy.
Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario
World
- Go to any Switch Palace and go to
where the switch is. Run towards it and jump on it. But right before the
text box appears, jump up so Mario is in the air and the switch is pressed.
Mario's cap will be shown through the text box! (This was done as Fire
Mario.) Spotted by The Fire
Commander.
- Go to Star
World 1 on a Yoshi. Spin jump off, then land back on top of Yoshi without
breaking the spin jump, and you should be breaking bricks on top of Yoshi!
This is a very easy bug to do, and helps if you dont want to abandon Yoshi.

Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario
Bros. 3
- As if the Fire Bros. weren't tough
enough, this glitch can double or triple the amount of fireballs they spit
at you. Pause and resume the game as they're spitting fire, and they'll
spit out two more fireballs. Spotted by Bobby.
- In World 3 you can't enter battle
with the Hammer Brothers when they are standing on the dock. Spotted by
Jeff
Koopa.
- In this remake of the game Nintendo
changed the color of the Fire Flower to its red color. However, while playing
the roulette game the Fire Flower there is blue, as seen in the original
version. Spotted by Yoshi_Lover

Super Mario Bros.
- If you hit the flagpole while having
a Starman, the overworld theme will start to play instead of the level
completed fanfare. Spotted by Jeff
Koopa.
- You can hit under the block a firebar
is in when small and be unharmed, but do it while big and you get shrunk.
Spotted by Chocolate Thunder.
- In World 1-2, get to the warp pipe
at the end of the underground part as Super/Firey Mario. Break two blocks
so that one is touching the pipe. Now duck and jump backwards toward the
block, being careful NOT to break it. If this is executed right, you will
go through the wall into the warp zone. Jump into the first pipe you see
and it will lead to the Minus World (-1). 1 is an endless water level!
Spotted by TJVJ7@aol.com.
- This is probably
ONE of THE funniest glitches in the entire game! But you have to be Fire
Mario to do this. Okay, okay, here's how to do it: In any castle except
8-4, jump over "Bowser" and go toward the axe. Time your jump accordingly,
so that you touch BOTH "Bowser" and the axe. Mario will flash, but will
remain Super Mario. In the next world, get a Mushroom (?!) and Mario will
become small (?!?). Now, get a Fire Flower (What the?). Mario will be firey
AND small! If you fire a fireball, you will become Fire Mario, but only
for the animation. Unfortunately, if you die, say bye-bye to tiny, fireballing
Mario. Spotted by Pokefan.
- Next to the
Konami Code, this is probably the most famous secret in any video game.
Go to the second level of the first world. When you reach the pipe that
leads above to the flag, it's time to get to work. Jump on top of the pipe
and you should see a row of bricks. Break the one second from the right.
LEAVE THE BRICK THAT IS TOUCHING THE PIPE! It is essential to this trick.
For the next part, jump backwards (easiest
to do by jumping
from a ducked position) towards the remaining brick, but you still don't
want to break it. It will usually take a few tries, but once it works,
you'll be "stuck" in the wall. When you are "stuck", it will pull you through
to the warp zone. DO NOT ALLOW THE GAME TO SHOW THE ENTIRE WARP AREA! Doing
such will make the pipes take you to worlds 2, 3, and 4 like usual. If
you remember this, you can use the pipe on the left to get to the Minus
World (World -1) or the pipe in the middle to get to world five (World
5-1). If you decide to go to the Minus World, you will have to infinitely
repeat level -1 until you either get a game over or you reset the game.
If you choose to go to world 5, the game will act as it normally would,
except you go to a different world than you should. Spotted by The
Dryest Bones.
- This only happens
in the VC version of the game. In worlds 4 and 5, every now and then Mario
will jump up and go through the block! But he won't go all the way through
the block, he'll just be stuck inside the black with no way to get out!

Super Mario Bros. 2
- You can go in vases such as in world
2-2, even though snakes are inside and blocking them! Simply press down
when they bob downward. Spotted by Fwipp
Deathspeeder.
- In the ending it says Birdo under
Ostro and Ostro under Birdo. Spotted by Jeff
Koopa.
- In world 1-1, when you get to the
first vine, jump on top of the Hoopster. It will carry you off screen but
you will not go to the next area, and when it goes back down, your character
will be unable to jump until the Hoopster begins moving back up again.
Spotted by Fwipp Deathspeeder.
- In the ending of Super Mario Bros.
2, along with the incorrect names for two enemies, Hoopster, the ladybug
we all love and know (sort of), has its name misspelled. Instead of Hoopster,
it's spelled Hoopstar. The misspelling and the incorrect names weren't
fixed until the release of Super Mario Advance! Found by TJVJ7@aol.com.
- Go through a regular door while holding
a key, and when the door shuts, the upper part of the key will be sticking
out of the upper part of the door! Spotted by SuperMario.
- During the credits, when Clawgrip
appears, they mispelled his name as "Clawglip"! Spotted by Koopa
know-it-all.
- In any level with a Pokey and a ledge,
lure the Pokey off the edge. You (and the game) would expect that the Pokey
will fall off too, but it floats in the air! Spotted by TJVJ7@aol.com.
- Go into Subspace and pick up a POW
Block. When you automatically leave Subspace it will say WOP, which is
POW backwards. Spotted by Banjo-Kazooie.
Super Mario Bros. 3
- In Bowser's Castle, when you fly
over the wall before going through the door to Bowser, he appears, but
he doesn't breathe fire at all. Spotted by Bobby.
- In the N-Spade matching game, Toad
says "Flip over two cards and see if they match. Miss twice and your

- If you hit a P-Switch while in the
sky and then jump down onto coins that were blocks, you'll sometimes end
up standing on the coins instead of collecting them. Spotted by Martin.
- In the final fortress of the fifth
world, there's some lava at the top that, if you jump into it, doesn't
hurt you! Spotted by Dasina-chan.
- Notice the Rocky Wrench's Wrench.
The middle bit is red while it's in his hand, but blue after he throws
it. Spotted by Bam.
- In World 6, on any level with a Buster
Beetle in it, when the Buster Beetle is headed for an Ice Block, go up
to it. At the same time the Buster Beetle grabs the Ice Block, press B.
You will pick up the Ice Block although the Buster Beetle is already holding
it! It wasn't fixed in All-Stars because the programmers are too lazy to
fix every glitch in the game! Spotted by TJVJ7@aol.com.
- As Tanooki Mario, go into a warp
pipe and press B. If your timing's right, Mario will turn gray, but he
hasn't turned into a statue! However, this glitch doesn't work in All-Stars...
Spotted by TJVJ7@aol.com.
- In level 3-6 take the first ice block
and carry it down on the donut lift it covered, then throw it at the brick
in front of you, which has a Super Leaf. Take the Super Leaf and try to
break the brick above you. You can't break it even though you're super!
Spotted by Chocolate Thunder.
- In level 7-8, go to the bonus room
with the Hammer Suit while wearing a Tanooki suit (you probably still have
the one from the first fortress of world seven). Turn into a statue and
let the Hammer Suit come to you. You will be gray in the Hammer Suit, but
stuck until time runs out. Spotted by Chocolate
Thunder.
- In level 2-4, if you bounce off the
Boomerang Brother and touch the goal, you'll still get a coin and 1,000
points since he's still on screen. Spotted by Chocolate

- If you run and fly to hit every brick
containing a coin in the upper section of 2-4, you'll get all the coins,
but the first block you hit won't give you the usual 100 points. Spotted

- You can't enter an upside down pipe
while invincible unless you fly up in it. Best found in 5-7. Spotted by

- If you touch a Muncher or Jelectro
while Super Mario, you shrink quicker and flash more as opposed to other
enemies. Spotted by Chocolate

- In the giant Piranha Plant areas
in world 7, pause when you get to the little pipes containing Munchers
or at the end when you see them under you. They will still be moving even
though the game is paused. Spotted by Chocolate

- In the second giant Piranha Plant
area of world seven, the Note Blocks' notes only move when the Munchers
do. Spotted by Chocolate Thunder.
- As Fiery or Hammer Mario (or Luigi)
go to any level with wrap-around screen. Go to the edge of the screen and
make sure that there's about half a block space beetwen it and you. Throw
some fireballs or hammers off-screen. Surprisingly, they won't come out
from the other side of the screen. Spotted by Jeff
Koopa.
- If you run right off one of the spinning
bolts found on airships, the instant you are hanging in midair, you can
still jump! Found by Trollish
Beastfighter.
- You can kill some of the flamethrowers
on the airships by turning into a statue as Tanooki Mario and landing on
the fire part. This is an odd enough way to defeat an enemy to begin with,
never mind that it doesn't work on flamethrowers that point left. Spotted
by Trollish Beastfighter.
- When you do a statue stomp on a stunned
Bob-omb, although by function you are a statue (releasing down causes that
transformation cloud to appear), Mario reverts back to a regular Tanooki
Suit sprite that is holding the Bob-omb. Spotted by Trollish
Beastfighter.
- In any level with coins, ? Blocks,
and those things that spin around on the ends of platforms, pause when
they are in sight. They will keep on moving for some reason although the
game is paused and they should stop moving. Found by TJVJ7@aol.com.
- On a doomship, get to any ? block.
The ? inside will not move like it does on all the other blocks. Found
by TJVJ7@aol.com.
- You have to
be Super Mario to do this. On the Grass Land airship, go to the ? Block
nearby the rotating cannon. A Bullet Bill should be flying towards you.
Jump up to hit the block right when the Bullet Bill is underneath. You
should hit the BB, which will make you shrink. Then a Mushroom will pop
out of the ? Block. Once the mushroom appears, though, the block will become
entirely gray. Then once you grab the Mushroom, the block will disappear!

- In World-e (GBA version), make the
person you're not using wear a Frog Suit. If you're using Mario then put
it on Luigi, or vice versa. Then enter World-e's castle. Go all the way
to the left and jump so Luigi jumps and gets somewhat behind. Continue
going all the way to the right and then Luigi will die for no reason. The
music won't be playing either. Spotted by Crazy

- If you're wearing the Cape Feather
while doing the World-e glitch above, it won't move even if you float down.
Spotted by Crazy Koopa.
- Leaving the castle after the reserve
character glitch will make the game think you failed a level and show you
the menu for the levels. If you play a level this way, pressing B will
end the level as if you were in the castle. Spotted by Crazy

Super Mario
Galaxy
- Go to Dusty
Dune Galaxy and choose the level with the name Blasting Through the Sand.
Then go through the level normally until you get to that giant planet thats
disc-shaped, then go to the place where you ground pound the switch on
that sand building. Go ahead and ground pound it, and then hold down Z
and don't move. Wait until the timer runs out and the sand building comes
back up; you'll be inside the switch! Don't worry, you're not stuck, just
walk out of it. Spotted by Ultimate
Yoshi.
- Go to the Bigmouth
Galaxy, and get on the rim of the fish-shaped planet's mouth. Now go to
the very right of it, where its mouth begins to open. Long jump to the
north, and you should slide down the planet's side. Once you fall, wait
a second and then Star Spin to the east. If done right, you will land in
an invisible pool of water. Now you can go out of bounds! Spotted by Sgt.
Fly.
- Go to any galaxy where
there's a Magikoopa and where you can get a good amount of Star Bits (I
recommend the Deep Dark Galaxy). Now, repeatedly shoot Star Bits at the
Magikoopa, and walk Mario into the Magikoopa. Normally you'd take damage,
but as long as you keep shooting it with Star Bits, you'll be inside it!
Spotted by Sgt. Fly.
- Go to the Space Junk
Galaxy in the level Kamella's Airship Attack. You will arrive on the yellow
Starshroom. Now long jump off of it, aiming to hit one of the bottom corners
of it. It's hard to do, but if you do it right, you'll bounce off it and
be right inside the yellow Starshroom! Spotted by Sgt.
Fly.
- Become Bee Mario and
go behind a block. When Mario's silhouette appears, it looks like normal
Mario, not Bee Mario! Spotted by Lord
Shyguy.
- In the Bubble
Breeze Galaxy, when you start out there will be two Toads on an island
next to yours. Go to the yellow one on the island. Spin him and both of
them will twirl around! If you spin the other one, only he will twirl!
Spotted by Anti Dude.
- Go to the Good
Egg Galaxy and choose the level King Kaliente’s Battle Fleet. Now get to
the part where you land on the airship. Oonce you land on it, DON'T move,
instead shoot at the areas where those two aliens come up. When you shoot
there the Star Bit will bounce off thin air, but nothing is there! Spotted
by
Ultimate Yoshi.
- This works better in Co-Star mode.
In the Flipswitch Galaxy, have Player 2 freeze one of the moving platforms
while it's moving. You can still use the platform to hit the flipswitches,
but make sure it's frozen when you hit the last switch. When the Power
Star appears, make P2 release the platform. If you did it right, the platform
should still be frozen in midair! Spotted by Twin
the Fourth.
- Go to the Beach Bowl Galaxy and select
the mission titled "Wall Jumping up Waterfalls". But, make sure you have
completed said mission beforehand. Now go up to the iceberg planet where
the Power Star rests. Get near it, and the Star should be transparent since
you've already collected it. Look at its reflection in the water, however,
and it will appear to still be gold. Spotted by Sgt.

fly through a cloud, and the shadow won't match the bee suit. Spotted by
Bonz.
- In the Toy Time Galaxy, give the
Luma in Episode 3 Star Bits, and he'll turn into a new planet. There'll
be some enemies that look like box-shaped Thwomps. Long jump off the side
of the level into the way of one of these enemies, he'll "squish" you,
and you'll float in the air! Spotted by Bonz.
- While fighting Kamella in the Space
Junk Galaxy, grab a green shell and throw it right past her so that it
flies towards open space. The shell will then suddenly start to fly in
a totally different direction for no apparent reason! Spotted by GeneralBleck666.
- In the galaxies where you do ray
surfing, you must twist the Wii remote to turn, right? Well, if you fall
off the edge of the course, keep twisting the remote in different directions.
Even after the "TOO BAD!" image appears and you fall off the ray, you can
still move the ray left and right! Spotted by GeneralBleck666.
- In the Comet
Observatory, go to the opening next to the library and long jump
out to the energy core. Mario should hit it, fall backwards, and go into
the bubble, but instead of bringing him back to the observatory, it will
drop him out in the opening again. Sent in by MammaMia64.

Super Mario
Galaxy 2
- While riding
Yoshi, perform a flutter jump. In the middle of it, tap Z to crouch briefly
in midair, then hold A again afterwards to continue the flutter jump. The
timing's tricky, but if performed correctly, you can keep fluttering up
indefinitely. Spotted by Midna Koopa.
- Get on Yoshi on the Starship Mario
and get near the warp pad to the Starshroom. Target the Toad and stick
your tongue out right as you step on the pad. If done properly, Yoshi's
tongue will be "glued" to the toad, stretching to extreme lengths and holding
on even through the planet! Pressing B or dismounting Yoshi ends this.

- While playing as Luigi in the Honeyhop
Galaxy, I was using a Bee Shroom when I got hit by an orange bug and fell
off a cliff. When I got back up to the cliff, I noticed that there was
an endless cloud of dust/smoke (the kind from landing or being knocked
back) appearing from the spot where I got hit. Spotted by UltraLemmy.
Super Mario Land
- In the first three kingdoms, pressing
the button behind the boss defeats it. Instead of doing that, defeat the
bosses by only using superballs or torpedoes. When you then press the button,
which also opens the door at the end of the level, you'll still hear the
exploding noise even though you already defeated the boss. Spotted by Paperlemmy.

Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins
- Go to the second level of Mario Zone
until you get to the spinning pole with a Heart under it. Go more to the
right until you reach a pipe you can go through. Go down it, but pause
when Mario's going down it, so only part of his body is visible. Then press
Select to exit the level. You can now go to any level on the map to trigger
the glitch, which makes Mario fall through the floor and causes 1 of 2
things to happen, depending on the level. First, you could just fall into
a large, white void. Second and better, you could fall into a debug room
with random sprites cluttered all over. If you go into this cluster of
sprites, a series of strange things can happen. You could rapidly gain
tons of coins, die, have the game reset on you, complete the level, and
more. Spotted by Sgt. Fly.

box says "Recoers 30 HP". Spotted by Bobby.
- In the battle against Bundt in Marrymore, if
you go to attack the chefs, the name Torte will appear for both chefs when,
in fact, one of them is the Apprentice. Spotted by Extreme

- When you enter Bowser's Keep again
(to find the seventh Star Piece and defeat Smithy), get into a battle that
has a Tub-O-Troopa in it. When it is done charging up for its special attack,
it will say "Heavy Troopa's ready to launch." What it should say is "Tub-O-Troopa's
ready to launch." Spotted by Dark
Knight.
- Go to Jinx's place in Monstro Town
after you beat him. He and Jagger should be jumping. Jump on their heads.
Sometimes, you'll end up jumping right into their bodies, which means you
could be standing in the same place as that character. Spotted by Trollish
Beastfighter.
- During Mack's attack on the Mushroom
Kingdom, go in the castle. You should see Toad being chased. Beat the monsters,
then follow Toad. Once you're in Toadstool's room, go up to the Mushroom
person that says "I'm scared!" You'll notice that if you happen to be in
his way, he'll go in the other direction. Try to stand halfway in his path.
He'll keep going and walk right through Mario! Spotted by Double D.
- in Booster's
Tower, there is a point where there is a Thwomp on a lever which you jump
on to reach the next floor. Well, if you jump off of the lever as the Thwomp
is in the air, then you can walk on the lever like it's a normal floor
tile (though it blocks you if you try to walk on it from certain angles).
If you walk behind the Thwomp, you can still see Mario's feet as if the
Thwomp wasn't there. You can undo this by jumping onto the lever from a
distance, or just by leaving the room. This does not work on the lever
with the Bob-omb lower in the tower. Spotted by Bear.
- In Kero Sewers
there is a room with a chest that can only be reached by going to Land's
End and taking the cave route to the sewers. This is what was intended
by the creators of course. There is a way to get up there on your first
visit to the sewers. To get up there you'll need a lift. Just below the
platform the chest is on is a Boo. If you battle the Boo and run without
killing it, the Boo will become solid and you can jump onto the Boo and
off onto the ledge. This also means you can enter a small part of Land's
End without going through half the game. There is one of those Shy Aways
you can battle, putting you against it, a Geckit, and a Ribbite. Though
you'll likely get your butt whooped, it's fun to see. Spotted by crankymama5452.
Super Mario Strikers
- As we all know, Super Mario Strikers

DK's super strike, he uses his fists to slam the ball into the goal...
What a cheater! Spotted by Denny
W. Koopa.
Super Mario Sunshine
- Get right under a Shine Sprite, any
Shine Sprite that you can get with a normal jump will work. Switch to the
Squirt Nozzle and squirt water out. While holding R down all the way, press
A. Doing so will make you do a FLUDD-aided backflip. When Mario does his
victory dance, FLUDD will still be attempting to squirt water out, and
the nozzle will even go through his head near the end. Spotted by MarioFanaticXV.
- In Corona Mountain, go to the boat.
Crash into any obstacle, but don't attempt to escape, jump, or otherwise
move. Instead of sinking into the lava, Mario will sit on it as he faints,
suspended by the lava. Spotted by MarioFanaticXV.
- In the pinball sublevel, if you hit
one of the pins above the center box at a right angle, Mario gets stuck
on it and just sits there continually making the noise he does when he
hits something and producing pink and yellow stars. Spotted by Green
Yoshi.
- Any time you see a Pianta inside
a red cannon, such as in Pinna Park, try jumping on top of him until you
are sure you won't fall off. Try ground pounding on the Pianta. You will
fall right through onto a platform beneath it. This allows you to see how
that type of character is programed. You should see something like a tent
above you if you use the C-Stick, and where the arms are, you'll see how
they are "stabbed" inside the figure. Spotted by Trollish
Beastfighter.
- Near Corona Mountain, there are two
small pond things behind the Shine Gate. Go to the one closest to the Shine
Gate, then get right in front of the gate that stops you from falling into
the bay. Keep holding forward and swim down with B. One of three things
will happen. The first thing is that you'll fall underground, with the
manholes above you. The second possibility is that you will fall onto the
underwater floor and be able to walk there without having to worry about
air. The third possibility (the weirdest of them all) is that you will
fall down the waterfall and hit the floor near the harbor. If that happens,
you should jump onto the tiled floor and then you should be able to walk
underwater and on the beach floor without having to worry about air. If
you want to get out, jump high or go onto land. Spotted by wackowendy429.
- In the one after Mario is released
from jail and is about to head out and clean the goopy mess, when one of
the Pianta policemen says "Go straight that way, you can't miss the mess,
pal," look behind him; the background is frozen. One way you can tell is
that you can see a green bird in the air behind him, and it's not moving
at all, just frozen in the air. Spotted by Z-Kidd

- In Bianco Hills, before you let a
Poink grab onto your FLUDD spray nozzle, waste all your water on something,
and don't stop until your tank in completely empty. Then, run over to the
Poinks, and let them grab onto you. Once they're on you're nozzle, start
holding in the R button. Even when your tank is empty, you can still fill
the Poinks up with water. And just to make sure that's not air you're filling
it up with, let go of the R button once the Poink is filled; you will see
water splatter around. Spotted by Z-Kidd

- Spray alot of water out of FLUDD,
not all, just a lot. Leave just a little bit at the bottom of your tank.
Then, press the Y button and aim your FLUDD tank straight up to where you
can't look up any farther. Then spray all the remaining water out of FLUDD's
tank while in the same position. After FLUDD's tank is empty, without pressing
any other button, press the Y button to exit close-up view. Now, look at
Mario; his head appears to be stuck staring up, as is FLUDD's spray nozzle.
Spotted by Z-Kidd 500.
- Have Mario jump onto one of the huge
mirrors in Gelato Beach. Then, once you get up there, press the Y button
to go into close-up view. Now look at Mario at an angle where you can see
FLUDD in the mirror as well. Look and you'll see that FLUDD's nozzle is
missing. The water part is there, but not the top nozzle. Spotted by Z-Kidd

- Whenever you're on Yoshi, press and
hold the R button to make Yoshi spray juice. Keep a close eye on the juice
that appears on the ground. Now, while you're holding the R button, press
the X button to jump off Yoshi. While you do all this, don't look away
from the juice that appears on the ground. When you jump off Yoshi, his
juice automatically changes to water. Spotted by Z-Kidd

- In the Watermelon Festival Episode
of Gelato Beach, if you take the large watermelon that's set behind the
Sand Cabana and take it to the guy at the Surf Cabana, when he examines
it, he mentions about the watermelon not being any bigger than the ones
displayed by the two Piantas and Noki. But if you compare them you can
clearly tell that this one is bigger. Spotted by Z-Kidd

- In Delfino Plaza, try climbing onto
the windowsills. If you can, try walking in. Sometimes, you'll fall in.
You'll see Mario surrounded by navy blue and he'll faint as if he were
underwater. Spotted by Shadow Mario.
- In Sirena Beach, Shadow Mario doesn't
spread any goop, yet he goes through all the same motions. Spotted by Trollish
Beastfighter.
- In the last video after you defeat
Bowser, when Mario watches FLUDD as his power goes out, look in the background
and you'll see Pinna Park's Ferris wheel. Instead of being blue, the Ferris
wheel is red. Spotted by Z-Kidd

- Get any Yoshi and go to where any
fruit will reappear after it is eaten or destoyed. eat it, then make Yoshis
tongue come out. Before it goes back in, jump off the Yoshi. The Yoshi
will be frozen in a four legs on the ground position, but normally he will
be standing on two legs. Also, he will eat fruit by himself. When stuck
in this position, wait for the fruit to reappear. If you keep watching
the Yoshi, you will see it eat the fruit by itself! This is one way to
make sure the Yoshi's juice will never empty, since the fruit will reappear
in the same place. Also, once your Yoshi is stuck in the position mentioned
above, use the Y button to look up, but also keep the Yoshi's head on screen.
The Yoshi's head will mimick yours, whether you look up or side to side!
Spotted by Fwipp Deathspeeder. Magiblottie
adds that if you use this trick by jumping off of Yoshi while he is eating
fruit in episode 6 of Pinna Park, the fruit should be floating in midair.
Plus, try squirting and jumping though it. Mario and the water he sprays
will go through the fruit, plus Yoshi occasionally looks like his mouth
is full.
- Get a Yoshi in Sirena Beach, and
go back to the pineapple room. Go to the door in that room. Make Yoshi
squirt juice at the door, then jump off and press B in midair. Mario will
get stuck inside the door, and it will appear like there is nothing you
can do. Jumping doesn't work, and neither does anything else. Pause the
game. When you unpause, Mario will be back inside the room, but when you
get to the main lobby, the Yoshi apparently has fallen through the floor,
since he is right by one of the pools of water. Spotted by Fwipp
Deathspeeder.
- Get Mario covered in goop and then
enter a cutscene. The goop will have disappeared. Spotted by Green
Yoshi.
- If you have the dive helmet and Mario
wipes off his sweat, his hand goes though the helmet. Spotted by goombuster.
- In Noki Bay, go to the last level,
where the water is clear. Get in the Tanooki's boat and use FLUDD to push
your boat inside the waterfall. Use Y to use Mario's view. If you look
up, you'll see that the waterfall is hallow and you can see the hole
where the water comes out from the cliff. Spotted by K.
K. Koopa.
- In Episode One of Serena Beach, beat
the Manta Storm, then as you run for the Shine Sprite, wet slide to the
fountain (from the ocean to the fountain works best.) As you approach the
fountain, jump. If Mario jumps into the edge where the fountain wall side
meets the top, Mario will fall through the fountain (and the level, for
that matter) into a strange world, where all you can see is like looking
at Mario from through a wall. Mario will get hurt as long as he touches
the floor. Spotted by Miles "Thumbs"
Power.
- In Bianco Hills, on any level, sort
of straddle in between the river and the land in town. If you can get right
on the edge where the wall meets the top, Mario will fall through the level,
probably dying. Spotted by Miles
"Thumbs" Power.
- In Pianta Village, in the last level
with the eight red coins and the Fluff Festival, get a Rocket Nozzle and
launch yourself to the clouds. At the apex when you've stopped blasting
and started falling, try to maneuver Mario so that as he falls he passes
the side of the furthest cloud to the left. Yes, this is really hard, but
if you manage to do so, Mario will fall through the cloud into that negative
place again, this one a bottomless pit. Also, if you try rocketing in this
world, you can continue to rocket and refill, even though you don't hit
the ground. Spotted by Miles "Thumbs"
Power.
- In any slide, especailly a wet slide,
if you swap to the Hover Nozzle and jump out of the slide while holding
down the hover button, Mario will not hover, though the water will come
out. Spotted by Miles "Thumbs" Power.
- In the episode where you have to
put the large Chain Chomp in the spring, if you do not get out before the
Chain Chomp falls in, or you are in the spa, then you will fall through
to your doom! Spotted by Denny W.
Koopa.
- When you go to Delfino Plaza when
it's totally flooded, find the kid raccoon (I think he should be right
on top of the blue coin exchange hut with his dad) and talk to him. Notice
that the sound he makes sounds like how the Piantas talk. Spotted by Antwan.
- In the level that looks like a pinball
machine, adjust your camera so you'll be above Mario's head. Fall off the
course through the middle of the pinball machine. If done right, you notice
Mario is "falling to his doom in place". You can see he's only a few feet
below the pinball machine. If it doesn't work from that camera angle, try
another camera angle. Spotted by Antwan.
- In Pinna Park, Episode 8, go to the
Pianta father and son. Talk to the dad. He seems to have the voice of a
Noki! Spotted by Blue Virus.
- When Shadow Mario has the Yoshi egg,
once you defeat him and he is sprawling on the ground, the Yoshi egg will
float in midair! The same thing happens when he has the Rocket and Turbo
Nozzles. Spotted by MJ.
- Once you get the second Shine in
Sirena Beach, the nearby enemy will disappear. Spotted by MJ.
- When Delfino Plaza is flooded, there
will be logs floating around. Have Mario swim under one of the logs and
press A. Mario will fall to the ground and can walk under the water, just
like on land. Spotted by Koopiana
Jones.
- When using the "Walking Underwater"
trick, go to the far west coast of the Plaza, past the island. If you go
all the way to the boundaries of the level, you will be able to walk through
an underwater hill. Spotted by Koopiana
Jones.
- Go to Ricco Harbor and choose "The
Caged Shine Sprite". Go all the way to where Gooper Blooper used to be
and talk to the Pianta nearby. He won't make any noise when he talks to
you, as opposed to normal Piantas! Found by Fwipp
Deathspeeder.
- In Ricco Harbor, Mario can walk through
chains, and the shovels just laying near Ricco Tower. Found by Fwipp
Deathspeeder.
- After Mario defeats the nearest Blooper
on the catwalk above the red grill platform near the fountain, if you return,
a square peice of black goo will appear for no reason at the catwalk's
intersection. You can remove it with water, but it is so small that Mario
cannot slip in it. It really has no reason for being there, since the normal
Blooper's goo does not remain once it hits something! Found by Fwipp
Deathspeeder.
- When in an underground tunnel (that
you get into via manhole) if you spray water, the goop above you will disappear
as if you were above ground! Spotted by Fwipp
Deathspeeder.
- If you do "The Shell's Secret" the
second time with FLUDD, when you are going to the rotating logs, there
is a platform that only can be reached with a wall kick and using the hover.
You pass through it if you do the hover right in the middle of the edge.
Spotted by Princess Daisy.
- When hatless Mario is talking to
someone, his health will still decrease! When he has none left, Mario will
fall over dead, but the game will not end, because you are still talking!
It's really funny to look at, since the game will not show a "Too Bad"
sign until after the other person stops talking... even though Mario is
already dead! Spotted by Fwipp Deathspeeder.
- In Pinna Park's episode: The Roller
Coaster's Balloons, go to the slope by the tree shaped like a Pianta. You
will see a small Pianta and his dad looking up at the rollar coaster. If
you talk to the dad Pianta, he will talk in a Noki's voice! Spotted by
Fwipp
Deathspeeder.
- In Delfino Square, get a Yoshi, then
get the Pianta on the roof to throw you. Due to the added mass, you will
smash through the grate, but then go through the wall and into the water
beyond! Spotted by Fwipp Deathspeeder.
- After you beat Mecha-Bowser, you
know how Bowser Jr. reveals himself when he starts talking? Well, when
he says "You... You pest! Stop following us!" his mouth doesn't move when
he says "Stop following us!" Found by SuperMario.
- When riding
Yoshi, ground pound underground into the pipe system and then jump back
out. When you leave the pipe, the lid won't move like it would when Mario
is not on a Yoshi. Spotted by Toadia.
- When Peach
gets kidnapped by Shadow Mario and you have to chase and spray him down,
if you get him to let go of the princess around the marketplace he'll start
doing wall jumps towards the center of town until you can't see him anymore,
but if you run there first and switch to second person view for a few seconds,
he'll magically appear out of thin air! Spotted by Shady
Parakoopa.
- Get Yoshi to
eat a fruit. Just before it goes in his mouth, get off Yoshi. If this is
done at the right time the fruit will stay in midair. Jump back on Yoshi
and walk away from the fruit, then make him eat. If done correctly the
fruit will just appear on his tongue and he will eat it. Spotted by Popple
Koopa.
- Get on any Yoshi, press and hold
R to spray juice, and jump. Keep holding both R and A, and while standing,
the Yoshi will have its mouth open, as if it's spraying juice. Hold down
A and R again and jump off the Yoshi. Its shell will be floating in midair!
It looks really weird. Spotted by Parakoopa.
- Go to the area in Delfino Plaza where
the Piantas are selling fruit. Pick up any fruit and throw it at the back
wall. It will bounce through the straw awning, immediately stop, and roll
off of it. Spotted by Parakoopa.
- Again go to the fruit market. Jump
on the Pianta selling bananas and let Mario continually bounce on her head.
If you bounce long enough, your controller's rumble feature will eventually
turn off. Then, to test it, try jumping and pressing B near a wall to jump
at it. There will be no rumble. After that, the only way to “turn on” your
rumble is to jump on the Pianta's head again. It's like an in-game rumble
switch, but only for Delfino Plaza. It probably works on other areas of
the island, too. Spotted by Parakoopa.
- If you go to any tree, jump near
it with the normal nozzle, and press R you will zip onto the tree like
a magnet instead of spraying water. Spotted by Parakoopa.
- Jump onto any Pianta's head and again
keep bouncing. Mario's head will get flattened each time he bounces! Spotted
by Parakoopa.
- When you get
Yoshi press R to make him squirt. While he's squirting press A to make
him jump. You'll still hear him squirting but juice won't come out of his
mouth! Spotted by Mario Koopa.
- When you get
Yoshi press R to make him squirt. While he's squirting press X to jump
off of him. He'll still be in the squirting posistion but juice will no
longer be coming out of his mouth! Also his saddle will start floating!
Weird O_o... Spotted by Mario
Koopa.
- I did this
in Pianta Village, but you could do this in Gelato Beach and Bianco Hills
too. Destroy a beehive and have the bees follow you. Run to a person and
talk to him/her, but make sure the bees are still following you. You won't
get damaged while you're talking to the person, but you'll get pushed around
by the bees. Spotted by Luigi’s
High Jumpin’ Second in Command.
- When the boathouse is under the black
goop, make a trail on the dock so a Pianta sinks in it. Then go in the
water under the dock, and you'll see him clean and unmoving! Spotted by
Crazy
Koopa.
- In Gelato Beach
when you race II Piantissimo, beat him and watch the cutscene of the Shine
Sprite appear. The Piantas and Nokis that were watching the race have disappeared.
Spotted by Koopa Girl.
- When you go to Gelato
Beach stand on the mirrors where you went to get the Tilt! Slam! Bam! Shine
Sprite. Go into Mario Mode (Y button) and look at the mirror and see your
reflection. Make sure that F.L.U.D.D. is active, if not just squirt one
time. If you look closely, F.L.U.D.D. will appear without his head! Spotted
by ParaBonz.
- This is really
risky, and you should only try it when you have lives to spare. Go to Ricco
Harbor, and enter Episode 2: Blooper Surfing. After going to Blooper Daddy,
hop onto one of the Bloopers. If you know from experience, when you smash
into something really hard with a Blooper, the Blooper will disappear and
you'll lose a life. Knowing that, go to the entrance to the tunnel that
takes you to the obstacle course. Here you'll need some precise timing.
Jump up with the Blooper, and hit the roof in the tunnel entrance. You'll
lose the Blooper. Mario will "faint", but you'll still enter the obstacle
course, and you don't lose a life! Spotted by ParaBonz.
- This one is
a little different from the one above. Enter the same episode, and enter
the obstacle course. Finish the course in less than 40 seconds... BUT WAIT!
Right before you cross the finish line, jump up! There will be the cutscene
where the Shine Sprite appears. When the scene is over, Mario will be in
the air without the Blooper! How'd he disappear? In other, weirder cases...
Mario appears standing on the ground, even though he jumped! Spotted by
ParaBonz.
- This is my
favorite. Go to episode 2 (again) and enter the obstacle course. Finish
in OVER 45 seconds, and jump. Since you lost, the cutscene won't happen,
but try to land on the Pianta's head when falling. When you are near him,
he starts talking. These are the different results that have happened to
me:
1. Mario and
the Blooper stay frozen in the air
2. The Blooper
disappears and Mario jumps once, falls, goes through the Pianta, and without
moving slides back, and then he looks up at the Pianta
3. Mario and
the Blooper go through him even though he is talking
... Spotted by
ParaBonz.
- On the main
island, get Yoshi, then go to the fountain spitting water. Now turn right
of it and walk up to the lady with the basket. (the one in front of the
building). Now walk back a little bit, far enough for a double jump. Now
line yourself up with the lady's left elbow. Now run and jump straight
into the bottom part of the roof. You'll fall through and now be able to
walk underwater! I don't know if this can help you get to that island with
the yellow stuff. Spotted by Nintenbro0.
- After fighting
Petey and beating him, when he turns into goop and dissolves, quickly press
Z. You will hear the sounds of him hardening and melting, but when you
press Z again he'll turn into goop again but without the noise! Spotted
by larry.
- Go into the ladies' room in the hotel
and go into the farthest toilet. Jump around and hover high enough and
you'll make it into a room on the second floor. Spotted by P.T.
Piranha.
- In Pinna Park go in the corner where
the orange wall meets the stairs leading to the pirate ships. Use FLUDD
to do that FLUDD-aided backflip. FLUDD should be attempting to squirt water
and making the sound too. Spotted by Magiblottie.
- In Gelato Beach on the 3rd mission
(with the giant Wiggler), spray the dune bud from under the Shine and have
it launch you into it. Mario will face the wrong way when you get the Shine.
Spotted by Dry Bonerangs.
- When Delfino Plaza is flooded, a
brown-skinned Pianta will be standing on the building with the pipe leading
to Sirena Beach. Get in front of the building’s doors and use FLUDD's Hover
Nozzle to hover straight into the overhang between the doors and the Pianta.
You will then be "inside" the building! With this trick, you can dive directly
underneath the entire Plaza! Spotted by GeneralBleck666.
- In Corona Mountain, use FLUDD's Hover
Nozzle to hover in the path that one of the Cheep Cheeps jumps through.
Just before the Cheep Cheep hits you, stop hovering. It will hurt you and
you will fall into the lava, but you won't die! Instead, you will be able
to swim around beneath the surface of the lava! But you will die if you
touch the surface again. Spotted by GeneralBleck666.
- In Corona Mountain,
if you ground pound over the lava, you'll die like you were in water –
but you're in lava! Spotted by Shadow
Matt.
- Go to any level
with the Turbo Nozzle. I prefer Delfino Airstrip, myself. Go out into the
water and activate it, blazing across the water. If you jump in the air,
you'll keep going, right? Well, in midair, switch to the Squirt Nozzle
or whatever it's called. When it's on the Squirt Nozzle in midair, it'll
still be on the Turbo Nozzle's function - only forward! Strangely enough,
if you switch back while in midair - yes, while you're still in midair
- it'll go back to spraying the water Turbo Nozzle style from the back
- but you'll have to charge up again! Weird, huh? Spotted by Shadow
Matt.
Super Mario World
- If you complete a castle using Luigi, the cinematic
involving the destruction of the castle, when done, will say "Mario" defeated
whoever, though it should say Luigi. The same thing happens when Bowser
is defeated. Spotted by Dark Boo.
- In the text after you defeat Iggy
Koopa on Yoshi's Island, the last sentence says "Now, they travel together
to Donut Land" when the area is actually called Donut Plains. Spotted by
Green
Yoshi.
- If you run at a berry while on Yoshi
and press the Y button right before you run into it, you will eat two berries
instead of one. Spotted by Dark Ludwig.
- If you get two portable items and
put them inside each other and run at them while holding Y, you may pick
them both up. Spotted by Dark Ludwig.
- If you go through a pipe while holding
a gray P-Switch, when you come out again it will act as a blue one does.
Spotted by Dark Ludwig.
- Bring a cape to Chocolate Island
5. Now, fly up near the beginning and get the gray P-Switch off the clouds,
and then go down to where the blue P-Switch is. Now do the trick where
you can carry them both at once. While carrying them, go to where the turn
block with the Yoshi is. Throw the P-Switches up at the block. You will
notice that Yoshi grows faster than usual. Now, jump on the Yoshi and ride
him a little bit away from where he sprouted. Now, jump back on top of
the place he spawned, and you'll hear another Yoshi sound! Now, do the
glitch again, but this time instead of jumping on the place where the invisible
Yoshi was, hit the P-Switch and get the visible Yoshi to fall into the
abyss. The invisible Yoshi has now appeared and has become rideable! Although
it is just a normal Yoshi now. Spotted by Dark
Ludwig.
- In Chocolate Island 4, try repeatedly
jumping at the corner in the slanted ceiling to the left at the beginning
of the level. Sometimes Mario will die. Spotted by Dark
Ludwig.
- In Funky, have a Yoshi. Now, stand
next to a green berry. A little after the time drops below 100 seconds,
eat it. When the time went below 100 seconds, the music sped up. But! When
it went below 100 seconds the second time, it got even faster! The music
starts sounding ridiculous if you can eat every green berry in the level
right before the time limit drops below 100, because the song will be going
really fast. Spotted by Dark Ludwig.
- To get a Lakitu's cloud to last forever,
shoot the Lakitu with a fireball and grab the coin. The cloud never poofs.
Spotted by Dark Ludwig.
- To duplicate items, you can grab
an item and take it through a pipe and return to where you got it, to find
that you can get another one. You could also do the grab two items trick
and throw the items up at a block containing something. Spotted by Dark
Ludwig.
- In Chocolate Island 3, have a Yoshi
and a cape, then get all the way to the end of the level. When you are
there, there should be a turn block. Now for the tricky part: Jump off
the turn block towards the goal post (you should be a bit southwest of
it as of yet), then kick off Yoshi. You must NOT land on the platform,
rather go through the goal post without hitting the platform. Then it does
the little tune and the score tally. You better not have a history of seizures,
because the screen will flash all different colors as the spotlight closes
on Mario! And, when you get back to the overworld, well, you can see for
yourself. Spotted by Dark Ludwig.
- In Star World 1, when you spin jump
through the yellow blocks, sometimes Mario will squeeze through the wall
or bricks and die. Spotted by King Zing.
- Be small while on a Yoshi.
If you touch a red Wiggler, the side of a Muncher, or the flames from a
Dino Torch, you instantly die ON YOSHI instead of Yoshi running off and
Mario becoming invincible. Spotted by Chocolate
Thunder.
- In "The Impossible Maze?" if you
make your way to the bottom right and jump towards the pipe's ceiling,
sometimes you will go through the wall and get trapped in the space
between the paths, and there is no way out. Spotted by Fwipp
Deathspeeder.
- During the credits, you read "Jumping
Pirhana Plant", when the correct spelling is "Piranha"! Spotted by Koopa
know-it-all.
- Take a Yoshi
to Yoshi's house. Stand on the info block and aim for the fruit on the
far left corner of the tree. Once you extend Yoshi's tongue, pull back
once it is attached and aim for the fruit below it while doing so. If done
correctly, the fruit below the corner one will move down to where you carried
the tip of the tongue, stopping its animation. Spotted by Yoshi_Lover.
- Yoshi can pass
through info blocks. Just stand on one with a Yoshi, jump, and then hitch
off your Yoshi in midair. Yoshi should pass through the block, but you
won't! This only works on info blocks, too. Spotted by Yoshi_Lover.
- Once you start
a new game, you can move or jump for a split second before the story is
displayed. Once the story starts, however, you can't move. In fact, it
freezes you in a spot until the music is over and it shows the world map.
Spotted by Yoshi_Lover.
- In Vanilla
Dome 2 (the water stage) you can get points for grabbing a Feather out
of your reserve box! Try this by taking two Ppwer-ups (Fire FLower and
Feather) and transforming back and forth in between the two. This'll only
work in this stage, too! Spotted by Yoshi_Lover.
- When you ride
on a Yoshi and get hit, normally Yoshi would just run away. But try doing
this and see if I'm wrong! While riding Yoshi, run (not walk) towards a
Wiggler. Right before you hit it, press Y again to extend Yoshi's tongue.
If done right, Yoshi will pass through the Wiggler and you will be hit!
Spotted by Yoshi_Lover.
- When you’re
wearing a cape in a level with tons of blocks, spinning repeatedly and
moving at the same will seemingly "teleport" you from the spot you were
to about ten units down (considering that the blocks are units). However,
by doing this in a level with not enough room to move down, you'll hit
through the ground and lose a life, as if you got hit by an enemy! Spotted
by Yoshi_Lover.
- In Forest of
Illusions 1, grab the P Balloon and float to the goal. You'll soon come
across a A.F.H.Brother. If you knock it off without being hit, you can
perform this next act by pressing towards it. This allows you to skip through
pixels. Once you see the goal, part of the ground is pressed in by a unit!
Spotted by Yoshi_Lover.
- If you fall
down a pit and press START at the exact time that you die, the world's
music will keep playing (with no death song) and then you'll die. Spotted
by
The Dryest Bones.
- In the Forest of Illusion, the level
with the P Balloon, when I was Cape Mario and passed through the goal,
as usual, a Cape Feather came down to me in the reserve, but instead, it
went on Mario's cape, and I didn't get it until Mario gave the "Course
Clear" sign. This happened to me 2 times total. Spotted by Cornpie.
- Go to Yoshi's
Island 3 with a Yoshi. Before the middle goalposts, past the orange pipe,
all the way under the first coin from the left, stick out Yoshi's tongue.
Yoshi will make a sound as if he were hitting a block! Spotted by Luigiluvr.
- When Mario
defeats Iggy in the castle number 1, the cutscene says "Together, they
now travel to Donut Land", when the real name of the world is Donut PLAINS.
Spotted by Koopa know-it-all.
- In the instruction
booklet, the name of the enemy Dino-Torch is written as Mini-Rhino. Spotted
by Koopa know-it-all.
- Go to any water
level with a P-Button, and carry it to the finish line. It will turn into
a 1-Up, but it will float up and off the screen!! Spotted by ParaBonz.
Super Mario
World: Super Mario Advance 2
- Go to the Front
Door and go to the door with 4 made from blocks next to it. Go on the first
moving platform that you have to crouch on to get through, and stand up
while it's passing through the gap. Mario should shake up and down. Spotted
by Dry_Bonerangs.
Super Mario 3D Land
- When you start a level as small Mario,
you will still hear him say "Lets-a go!" in his normal voice instead of
the squeaky, high-pitched voice of small Mario. Spotted by MammaMia64.
Super Mario 64
- When you meet Yoshi on top of the
castle, he says, "Mario, it that really you?"
Spotted by VGMaster64.
- When you go to the spiral staircase
between the first and second floors, face your left and walk up to the
wall. Jump while still trying to go through the wall. Mario will pull himself
up and be on the top of the staircase. Best of all, the game isn't messed
up by this glitch at all. Unfortunately, it doesn't work in the DS version.
Spotted by MarioFanaticXV.
- You need all 120 Stars in order to
unlock the cannon in the front yard of the castle. Get a Wing Cap and get
in the cannon. Aim a little higher than the window that has Peach on it.
Shoot the cannon and try to go through the window. Sometimes, you will
go through the window and get inside the castle, but not INSIDE the castle.
You will be in a black area inside the castle. Open the door and you'll
be in a black area outside the castle. Open it again and you'll be back
outside, for real. Spotted by Antwan.
- In the Bob-omb level, go up the hill
to where you could fight the Big Bob-omb. Keep following the path until
you see a single Bob-omb walking in place beside a cannon that's shooting
out water bombs near a hole. Kick the Bob-omb off the ledge, then take
the warp in the wall next to you. Use it again to get back to where you
were. The Bob-omb will have started walking. Keep your distance and watch
him. He will start walking across the ledge, turn around, fall down the
hole, and bounce a bit. Go down to him and you'll see him walking in a
figure eight pattern. No matter how long you wait, he won't explode until
you pick him up or kick him. Spotted by Fwipp
Deathspeeder.
- In Bob-omb's Battlefield, go under
the bridge and jump to hang and climb. Climb to the base of the bridge,
and let go. You will jump through the
bridge onto the base. Spotted by Shadow
Mario.
- On top of Peach's castle, you will
notice several pointed roofs of towers supporting flags. Well, when you
get on top of the castle you find out some of them must not exist, since
you can walk right through them! Spotted by Fwipp
Deathspeeder.
- After you bring Li'l Penguin back,
grab it, then grab the Star. Li'l Penguin will float onto nothing. Spotted
by goombuster.
- After collecting all 120 Stars, get
Mario into the cannon when he has no health left (say, by having an enemy
knock him into one). The game will act as though Mario is alive and launch
him out of the cannon. However, upon landing, Mario will die. Weird. I
called this "flying corpse" because of Mario flying with no energy and...
well, you get the point. Works best with the Wing Cap and in Shifting Sands
Land. Found by TJVJ7@aol.com.
- If you're using
the transporter by the palm tree and Klepto comes to steal your hat mid-transport,
Klepto will not
be able to pick it up, and will just drop it on the ground. Your hat will
transport with you, and you will put it on as soon as you rematerialize.
Spotted by Luigiland.
- In Snowman’s Land, get on the snowman’s
head, then jump off and land on the ice bridge. If done right, Mario will
get stuck in the ice and pop out a few seconds later as though he were
pulling himself out of the snow. It ought to be a little different, though,
this being ice and all… Spotted by sonictails1.
- When Mario
falls into the water you're supposed to throw that blue Big Bully into
in Snowman’s Land, he says "Hothothothothothothoot..." But I thought it
was cold there? Spotted by Jumpman.
- In Lethal Lava
Land, if you stand on a sliding panel and then walk off it right before
it disappears, Mario will scream out in pain but he`ll be floating over
the lava! Spotted by Shady Parakoopa.
- If you have
L33T jumping skills, you can jump on top of the mansion. When you’re up
there, if you walk too close to an edge and fall off but Mario grabs the
edge at last second, Mario will pull himself up and somehow get killed.
Spotted by Shady Parakoopa.
- If you get
into a cannon that’s right up against a wall, aim at the wall. Mario will
get fired at it, lose some life, then fall right back in. Keep doing it
until Mario runs out of health. You’ll fire him, he’ll run out of health,
then he’ll fall right back into the cannon while he’s out of health! You
can still fire him, but as soon as you do he’ll die… Spotted by Shady
Parakoopa.
- If you perform
repeated Long Jumps backwards on the elevator platforms in Bob-omb Battlefield,
sometimes you will get blasted out of the level! This also works in Big
Boo's Haunt and the Vanish Cap level. Spotted by Kody.
- Throw a Bob-omb
at the Chain Chomp (make sure you've pounded the wooden peg two times first),
and then while he's in the air, pound the peg. Chain Chomp will land down
and have his face tilted upwards, even when he moves around and bashes
into the cage holding the Star. Spotted by Kody.
- In Cool Cool Mountain, ground pound
into the chimney and it will make the sound that it makes when you hit
the ground after a ground pound, and you’ll be able to see stars and dust
come out of the bricks. This shouldn't happen and you should just hear
the usual "whuyou!" sound effect! Spotted by Goomba.
- I was trying to get the 100-coin
Star for Dire Dire Docks, and my 100th coin was one of the red coins above
the hole (you know, no ground underneath, 2 poles, 3 coins). Then, when
I grabbed the Star, I fell from the pole all the way to the ground under
the water and did the Star dance for on land except I was underwater.
Also I dropped instantly and it looked like there was no water. But
that's not all! Once I had saved, I suddenly popped back up at the
surface! This was because Mario has to land on ground to do the Star
dance, and the ground was underwater, so it put me there and thought it
was land. But because I should've landed on the water, the game popped
me there once I was done! Still, it's weird. Spotted by Ckday.
- Upon achieving
a new record for a number of coins in one of the 15 main courses, the game
displays the message "HI SCORE" when, in fact, it should read "HIGH SCORE".
This was fixed in Super Mario 64 DS. Spotted by S.
Koopa.
Super Mario 64 DS
- In Episode 1 of Tiny-Huge Island,
if you are in the water while you are very big from getting a red Mushroom,
you should hear a metal sound instead of a voice when you jump even though
you're not metal. Spotted by Yoshi549.
- In Snowman's Land, choose the level
with the Silver Stars. Collect five and enter the igloo. Exit and you will
see the Stars have been replaced, but you still have five! Collect another
and all enemies will freeze in place and no course obstacle but the wind
will affect you. The only way to exit the course is to die by staying in
the cold water a while, jumping in the icy water (under the Bully), or
landing on one of the few parts of hard ground. Alternatively, you can
just turn the power off. Spotted by Jeffrey.
- On the castle grounds, grab onto
any tree placed on a slope and turn the camera around so it is inside the
slope. You can now see underground. Spotted by Green
Yoshi.
- In multiplayer in Princess's Secret
Slide, if one player is Wario and another is Yoshi, pick up Yoshi and throw
him into the left corner farthest away from the end of the slide. After
a few throws, Yoshi should end up in a black screen until the timer runs
out. Spotted by Zander J.
- At the front door to the castle,
if you go up to it, turn around so you’re facing away from the door, and
go in then out of look mode, you should be able to see through the wall
into some kind of room that is just a dead end. Spotted by Jeffrey.
- The outside basement door, where
the moat used to be, seems to be hinged on the left side, both for in and
out! Spotted by Jeffrey.
- You can climb on the door to the
character changing room. Your character's head should go through the ceiling!
If you go into look mode and try to look sideways, you should see through
the wall. Spotted by Jeffrey.
-In the Metal Cap cave, accessible
from the underground lake in Hazy Maze Cave, read the sign at the end of
the initial corridor, then look left while still reading it, and you should
see an object that transforms between a Snifit, yellow/red coin, and a
Bob-omb Buddie combined with a red/yellow coin. If you stop reading the
sign, the object will disappear. Spotted by Jeffrey.
- Play as Wario and go to Jolly Roger
Bay. Go into the underwater cave and get the Metal Cap. Go underwater again
and run up the boat until you reach the thin tip. Then slide down and turn
back to normal, and you will still be standing underwater. From here, if
you then go stand on the boar and position the camera just so, you'll find
you're standing on nothing. You also can then go to the part where the
boat rises diagonally, and Wario will go partially underground! You can
walk under the boat this way and find a hole covered my red, metal lines.
Spotted by Zander J.
- Play as Wario in Snowman's Land and
climb the mountain. Get blown off the mountain and then punch the snowman
to get your hat back. Climb the mountain again and get blown off. Kill
the snowman and you will find two hats! Every time you continue this the
amount of hats found will double. Spotted by Zander
J.
- In Wet Dry World, if you go up to
the tip top of the world, near the Chuckya and the highest water level
switch, go over to where the sign is near the Goomba. Right when the Goomba
is a few feet away, read the sign and the Goomba will freeze. Skip through
the script, and when the Goomba run into you, he will push you instead
of hurting you! Spotted by Grey Guy.
- In Lethal Lava Land, go to where
the Bowser puzzle is. Stand on a piece and wait until the piece you are
standing on is about to slide. You need to be standing on the side with
the lava touching it. Just as it's about to slide, run really fast
forward and move a little to the left while doing it. You should be walking
on lava! Dude, that's just freaky. Note: THIS IS EXTREMELY HARD TO DO!!!
Spotted by Grey Guy.
- After defeating King Boo, the Luigi
key you get shows up on your side of the room, but not in the mirror.
Spotted by Luigiland.
- In Wet-Dry
World, if you swim by the Goomba wearing Wario's hat and the water's all
the way up, the Goomba will explode! If the Goomba explodes and he drops
his hat in the water, touch it with your feet. You'll instantly change
into that character without hearing the music. Also the hat will stay at
your feet for a few seconds until you can move again. Spotted by Shady
Parakoopa.
- Go to the level
in the Luigi painting. Do NOT get the first red coin but get the rest,
after that jump off a cliff and get the first red. When you go to get the
Star there will be 2! Spotted by lilboo.
- In Snowman’s
Land, first lose your hat, then go to the snowman who has it. Throw the
crate at it. Repeat this and he will have two hats. Looks like the snowman
has been hiding somethin'. Spotted by lilboo.
- If you run
up a tower in Shifting Sand Land and then jump when you're almost to the
top, you'll be standing on air! Spotted by Shady
Parakoopa.
- If you stand
on top of a sand block inside the pyramid and you have a different person's
hat on, you'll get squished, but you'll give a little scream in the voice
of whoever's hat you're wearing. Spotted by Shady
Parakoopa.
- Go to the right
corner at the entrance to the castle. Hit X. Hit the left arrow on the
control pad. You can see outside the castle! Spotted by ACWW
Dude.
- Go to the side
of the door to get in Peach's Castle. Either side is fine. Hit X. Hit the
left button. You will see either a hidden room if you are on the right,
or a part of the castle grounds if you are on the left. Spotted by ACWW
Dude.
- Go to Bob-omb
Battlefield and run over to the gate at the foot of the mountain. You should
see two orange boxes. Go to the right box. Run to the corner that meets
the gate, and eventually you’ll run through it. Spotted by Master
Mario.
- Go as anyone
to Shifting Sand Land and get any hat you choose. Then pick up the non-bouncing
cork box, and run over to Klepto, that flying, evil condor. Stand very
still and let him crash into you. Suddenly, the game will freeze and it
will make a loud, screech-like noise. Spotted by Master
Mario.
- You need to
play as Mario for this one. Go to the red switch palace (go as Mario to
the first floor of the castle and look up when standing on the picture
of a sun) and fly as Mario. Either wait for the wing cap to wear off or
just jump off the central tower. Either way, wall kump on the central tower
2 or 3 times and you should go THROUGH the tower! It also works with jump
kicking. Spotted by Dry_Bonerangs.
- Holy exploding
Goombas Batman! I've spotted more explosive enemies in Shifting Sand Land!
Grab Mario's hat as Luigi and then grab a feather. Fly towards the pyramid
and the Goomba with Wario's hat will explode! Spotted by Shady
Parakoopa.
- It's happening
in the Hazy Maze Cave, too! Grab Wario's hat as Luigi and become metal.
Then take the right path from the entrance, then run past a Goomba without
touching it. The first Goomba will also explode! Spotted by Shady
Parakoopa.
- Play as Luigi
and go near the cannon on the castle grounds. See that tree to the left
of the sign? Have Luigi dive onto it (run, then press A). It may take a
couple of tries, but you may see the lower half of Luigi underground. Slide
down and you'll be below the castle grounds, in water! You can even swim
out of the castle boundaries! If you jump, you'll fall until you die. Spotted
by Fly Guy.
- After you perform
the last glitch, swim to where the moat USED to be and get under the black
bricks
and jump. You'll
be in a small, very tight area under the bricks that would originally lead
to the bonus level. Instead, you're trapped under the bricks! Spotted by
Fly
Guy.
- Go to Tall,
Tall Mountain with any character (though I HIGHLY recommend Luigi). Choose
any episode with Hoot the Owl in the tree. Now awaken him and fly up to
the little stone bridge with 5 coins on it near the top, and drop down.
Run across and jump off the cliff near the tall mushrooms where some red
coins are. (If you're Luigi, you can fall down there with your backflip
safely and accurately). Now, jump onto the small mushroom and stand there
and you should be warped. After that, Tall, Tall Mountain will be partially
flooded! If you jump above the surface or get blown by the wind, it wears
off. A funny thing is that the Bob-ombs and Chuckya will act as underwater
shells! Spotted by Fly Guy.
- In Whomp’s
Fortress, walk up to the first pillar that comes out of the wall. Do a
crouch kick as you’re sliding down the slope, and you can do a slide kick
going backwards. Spotted by Master
Mario.
- In Whomp’s
Fortress, get to the box which, when broken, reveals the switch for the
switch Star. Jump on it, and go into one of the corners. Go into first
person mode, and you should fall through the box. Spotted by Master
Mario.
- In Whomp’s
Fortress, sometimes, when you’re going to jump on King Whomp's head before
the battle in order to get the coins from him, if you hit the right angle,
you’ll fall right through him, and you’ll land on the ground under him
in the “flattened” position. Now you’re stuck, as he won’t move from on
top of you, so you’re still stuck in that position, and the battle hasn’t
started yet. To get out you'll have to exit the level or turn the power
off. Spotted by Master Mario.
- In the last
Bowser fight, hit Bowser into two bombs and when he's on his last hit throw
him off a side. When he hops up, dive and catch his tail before he lands.
If you did it right, Bowser should not make shockwaves.
- Throw Bowser
into a bomb (if you miss you have to start the glitch again) and he should
be defeated, but instead he'll fall back so far he'll fall off the arena
and hop back up, fighting like normal again. Spotted by Super
Troopa.
- Go to Snowman's Land
as Wario, and grab a Power Flower to turn metal. Now jump in the freezing
water below the icy platform that the Ice Bully is on. Instead of sinking
to the floor below the water, it will act as quicksand and suck Wario up
if he stays in there too long. Spotted by Sgt.
Fly.
- This Bug requires the one above where
you get Luigi below the castle grounds. Do this before you lower the water
level in the moat, and swim down into the cannon. It will let you shoot
yourself on top of the castle! That way, you can get on top of the castle
with as few as 16 Power Stars! You can also gain access to the basement
of the castle. Swim under the moat and under the castle. Then swim over
to the door that lets you go into the castle from the moat. Swim into it
from behind (inside the castle), and the warp-into-a-world music will play.
Once you are inside, you will be walking underwater! If you jump or almost
walk out of the water you will start to swim again. Now you have access
to all of the basement worlds without even defeating Bowser once! You can
also walk back outside of the castle and walk around underwater. Spotted
by Darkness Yoshi.
- When you talk to Bowser in any of
the fights with him, his chest moves forward with the top of his body but
the bottom half stays still. Spotted by Darkness
Yoshi.
- If you go to
the second stair near the star door in the clock room, go in the corner
and speed up, go forward and slide on your
back and then
you will die in the game. Spotted by XDlemmyroxXD.
- Pick Mario. In the first room of
the castle go right into the corner between the right side pillar with
2 coins on it and the right side brown door. If you are directly in the
corner and you hold left on the control pad, Mario's movement will start
flipping out! If you keep holding left and jump, Mario will move as if
he was climbing onto the ledge, but he will still land on the ground! Spotted
by GeneralBleck666.
- At the title screen, on the top screen
you can see a black, square-shaped window on the far right side of the
castle, but if you start playing and check, there is nothing there! Spotted
by GeneralBleck666.
- In the Goomboss battle course after
I ate Lakitu I was climbing up the pole. The egg was on the pole! It was

- If you jump
on a ledge where a Koopa Striker is in the Pit of 100 trials, it will turn
arond and throw a shell at the wall behind them, damaging themselves! Spotted

- If you start
chapter 8-3 as Luigi, he'll say "Ok" in Mario's voice! Spotted by Shady

- In chapter
8-4, when Count Bleck and Tippi are talking in Dimentio's prison, Mimi
and O’Chunks flip in to encourage the Count, but when has O'Chunks been
able to flip? Spotted by Shady
Parakoopa.
- When you fight
Shadoo, his first form looks like Mr. L, but on the Dark Luigi Catch Card,
it looks like regular Luigi! Spotted by Crazy
Koopa.
- On Watt's card,
they constantly refer to her as a male! Spotted by Giga
Bowser NS.
- Mimi as King
Sammer says that she put the Pure Heart on the 26th Gate, but when you
enter the next gate, the Sammer Guy says he's the guard of the 26th Gate,
even though that's gate 27! Spotted by Crazy

- If you jump
on a Cursya while riding Carrie, you will still be afflicted with a status
effect. Spotted by Super Mario.
- After Chapter
5, Merlon tells you he has received word from Nolrem that someone in Flopside
has found a Heart Pillar on the first floor outskirts. You eventually find
this pillar when it rises up from the ground after you use Cudge to smash
a giant block. How could anybody have seen this pillar if it was under
the ground?
- When you release
Carrie, she says "FREEDOM!" in a non-Pixl speech bubble. Spotted by P.T.
Piranha.
- If you start
8-3 as Luigi, he'll respond to what Tippi says in Mario's "voice". Spotted
by P.T. Piranha.
- In chapter 7-3, when you stand right
between the big talking cloud and the building next to him as a small character
like Mario, Luigi, or Peach, switch to Bowser and he will be half his normal
size! Spotted by Shady Parakoopa.
- When fighting O'Chunks for the first
time I was crammed in the corner of the room when O'Chunks hit me. Using
the brief second of invincibility I jumped through him when he ground pounded
and when I got to his head I hit him in midair. But that hit happened to
be the finishing hit, so then he was in the air in his defeated pose with
his arms bulging up and down. Since the game couldn't get him to the ground
he just stayed in midair and floated left until he was off the screen.
And since he didn't get to the ground the cinema couldn't happen so I was
standing with no control over Mario with nothing to do but reset. Weird.
Spotted by Super Troopa.
- I was playing in Castle Bleck and
entered the room with Magiblots in 8-3, where Luigi needs to hit the blocks
in the air to make doors appear. I had only 1 HP left, then I attacked
2 Magiblots who were in the
exact same spot, while one was casting
a spell, I got hit and hit the Magiblots, but didn't use my Life Shroom,
even though I had 0 HP! Spotted by Crazy
Koopa.
- Merlumina claims
to have made the Purity Heart, but Tippi's info about Merlimbis in the
Mirror Hall said Merlight made the Purity Heart. Spotted by Crazy
Koopa.
- When your playing
Dimentio's game of Tag, he takes you to the World of Nothing. Go to the
left, and you'll find the world door. Shouldn't it not even be there since
they erase themselves? Spotted by Crazy
Koopa.
- When you enter
the World of Nothing from the blue door, if you quickly use Tippi, she
can give you info about the blue door which includes telling you to press
up to enter it, even though you can't use it... Spotted by Crazy
Koopa.
- When you talk
to one of the guys on the 2nd floor of Flopside (after you beat the game)
he says he saw Nastasia hanging around on the 2nd floor of town, but she's
actually on the 3rd. Spotted by Lord
Lemmy.
- When you are
in the town of Mt. Lineland, go in Howzit's shop and flip to 3D. Walk next
to the little sign that's right next to the item stand, (notice that you
can't walk behind it in 3D), flip back to 2D, and now you can walk behind
the sign. But wait! That isn't the end of the glitch! When behind the sign,
flip to 3D again and then you will fall through as if it was a hole! Don't
worry, you won't be gone forever, you'll end up right behind the sign in
2D again! Spotted by Lord Lemmy.
- If you go to the first
level of Flipsisde Outskirts, you will see a pipe blocked by two blocks
(four in 3D). Well, to access it without Boomer, place yourself on the
pipe, flip into 3D, and then move right or left so you are on the ground,
alligned with the pipe. Then, without flipping back into 2D, jump into
the pit. For some reason, you will reappear on the pipe, not on the blocks!
Just press down. Spotted by Went.
- While battling
Bowser in the Underwhere, I leveled up via Stylish Moves, and suddenly
Bowser's theme started playing along with the battle theme! They don't
mix well, either. Spotted by Went.
- In 3-4 go to any of the
MeowBomb shooters and let it spit one out. Jump on the MeowBomb and just
before it explodes you can grab it with
Thoreau. If you toss it
it'll blow on contact with the ground. Spotted by crankymama5452.
- If you grab the glowing
MeowBomb (see above) and throw it at the MeowBomb shooter, the MeowBomb
will become stuck in the cannonm preventing any more from being shot out.
The thing is will still glow but won't explode. Spotted by crankymama5452.
- Jump on top of the MeowBomb
shooter with a MeowBomb in its cannon, and jump off. The shooter will begin
moving, unlodging the MeowBomb. The thing is... the MeowBomb will remain
in the air on the spot, glowing but not exploding. It will simply remain
on the spot in the air until you jump on it or leave the room. Spotted
by crankymama5452.
- Go to any shop. This
works best in 1-2 though. Flip and go in front of the sign between the
counter and door. You can't seem to walk behind even in the background.
Flip back to 3D and you can walk behind the sign. Flip back to 2D and Mario
will make the falling motion, then fall beneath the floor, where you can
walk out into a white screen until Mario warps back. Spotted by crankymama5452.
- Go to level
8-2 and get to the part where you fight Mimi. After you defeat her and
regain control of Mario, switch to Luigi BEFORE you complete the level!
Now complete it with Luigi and in the next part when Tippi says "We must
hurry!" Luigi will say "Yes!" in Mario's voice! Spotted by Ultimate
Yoshi.
- In 8-2, when Peach is trying to save
Mimi from falling to her doom, she says that she can't leave her there
to die. In keeping with other points in the game, shouldn't she have said
that she couldn't leave her to get a game over? Spotted by Joshua.
- In world 1-2
if you go in the shop you can flip to 3D to see a sign. Go behind it. Flip
to 2D, then back to 3D. You will fall right through the floor! But wait,
there's more! Right before you fall, jump into the blackness on the side
of you. Now run forward in the blackness. You come out of an invisible
door. Now you can play the level, only the entire level is all a black
darkness. You only see your character. Be careful of jumps! Spotted by
Nintenbro0.
- If you're quick
enough, you can use Thoreau to pick up enemies after you deal the finishing
blow! When you pick them up they'll be in their defeated pose, and they'll
vanish once you drop them. Spotted by Your
Twin the Fourth.
- Go to any place with
a cracked floor, I did this in the portrait area of King Croacus’s lair
in Chapter 5-4. Use Boomer's ability in 3D, but don't switch back; make
sure your flip gauge is full. After placing Boomer on the cracked floor,
wait 'til his fuse gets lit. Immediately after his fuse gets lit, switch
to any other Pixl. Boomer will still be on the cracked floor! But that's
not the real glitch... Wait on the cracked floor, and as Boomer explodes
the floor will go away, and Mario will be floating in midair for a few
seconds, and I don't mean he’s flapping his arms, he just stands still.
Spotted by ParaBonz.
- I'm sure everyone knows
how to get Piccolo the Pixl right? Well if you don't, you have to talk
to Merlee in Flopside after you beat Chapter 5. Correct me if I'm wrong
but, the 1st time I visited Flopside, I could've sworn I heard (well read
technically) Nolrem said that only he and Merlon know about Flipside/Flopside,
but when you talk to Merlee she says "I believe Mervulee uses the same
type of crystal ball that I do, you'll find her at the outskirts of Flipside."
Nolrem lied!!! Spotted by ParaBonz.
- When you have to put
the 5th Crystal Heart in its Pillar, Merlon tells you that someone told
him they saw a Heart Pillar in the outskirts of Flopside. When you look
for it, you have to use Cudge to uncover it. How could they have seen it
if it was underground? Plus, if you talk to Nolrem before you uncover it,
he says he saw it in his dreams, and he told Merlon that somebody
else had seen it, so this means... Nolrem
lied!!! AGAIN!!! Spotted by ParaBonz.
- Man do I have lots of
glitches here. This I just found out yesterday, and I taped it! What you
need to do is... fight Count Bleck, but with Carrie as your chosen Pixl,
use him all through the battle. (If he knocks you off Carrie just get back
on.) When Count Bleck uses his Void-like attack, run in the opposite direction.
Here's the freaky part, instead of standing still while Carrie floats away,
Mario will be running in place on Carrie while she moves! This can also
be done without Carrie, but Mario will be running in midair. Spotted by
ParaBonz.
- When you meet Fleep in
the outhouse, everything he says is not in Pixl speech bubbles (the rainbow-colored
thing around a bubble). Spotted by ParaBonz.
- You know that
part in the Overthere where you have to feed Cyrrus a Red Apple? Well,
if you scan yourself with Tippi, she'll say "We have to get Cirrus the
right fruit..." Cyrrus. Cirris. See? Spotted by Petey.
- I was doing the Piccolo sidequest,
and when I got to Old Man Watchitt's house after receiving the Autograph,
I flipped into 3D and stood on the chair close to him. When I talked to
him I started walking in place, off the chair, and fell through the floor,
then came back as if I fell down a pit. But that’s not all. I tried it
again and when I gave him the Autograph, the game crashed. Spotted by MrSaturn13.

Note: For this game and its predecessors, which
I do not consider Mario related in and of themselves, only errors that

- Mario's cape has the property of
reversing the direction an opponent is facing. The timing for this glitch
is insane, but it is able to also make people grab a ledge from the wrong
direction. Spotted by Trollish

- In Stamina
Mode (you can play it in Special Brawl), get a Smash Ball with Bowser,
and activate his Final Smash. Now, have another player or CPU hit him until
his HP goes down to 0, but make sure this happens while Bowser’s Final
Smash is still going. When the Final Smash ends, Bowser will have 0 HP
but still be alive! Spotted by Snowstalker.

Mario 256.
- On Yoshi's
trophy (non-smash), it says his first appearance was in Super Mario World
2: Yoshi's Island. But he was in Super Mario World 1! Spotted by Joshua.
- If you play
as Kirby and absorb Dr. Mario, when you shoot Megavitamins and they hit,
they sound like Koopa shells! Spotted by Black

- Go to any stage
on any mode, playing as Mario. Get the Bunny Hood and do Mario's taunt
where he grows big. When he's big, all you can see of the Bunny Hood is
the ears! The rest is suddenly inside Mario's cap. Spotted by The
Fire Commander.
Wario Land 4
- In the level Crescent Moon Village,
there is a ghost pirate that steals coins from you when you kill enemies,
get hurt, etc. When you are fleeing to the beginning of the level after
grabbing the key, the ghost will sometimes steal it from you. If he takes
it when you are at the leftmost part of an outdoor segment, he will glitch
inside of the wall and it's impossible to get the key back. You can't even
complete the level, either, because the doors will close until you get
the key! Spotted by MammaMia64.
- When you boot up the game, the words
"Nintendo Presents" are off-center. Spotted by MammaMia64.

- The apples that Yoshi needs to swallow
to free the Egglings has sticks or branches attached to the apples. In
the very first mission, when you see the apples, some of them don't have
sticks or branches attached to them while the rest of the apples in the
other missions do. Spotted by Kammy.

- In Challenge mode, if you get less

the ten's and one's digits (i.e, 50, 49, 5 0). Found by Yoshi_Lover.
Yoshi's Island
- This awesome glitch happened to me!
Today! It was in the level Ride Like the Wind, the one before Hookbill's
Castle. I had six baby Huffin Puffins and was minding my own business,
when I let two of them fly. Well, I wasn't paying much attention, but I
kept them all through the level. When I went through the goal ring, two
were flying toward me, and then went the other way (left), but one Huffin
Puffin went through the ring! Now, normally you can't keep Huffin Puffins
between levels, so it was a real cool thing, this one following me out.
So then I went to Hookbill's castle. It came too, but it was glitched!
It appeared to be a backwards Shy Guy ghost, like the ones at the beginning
of the level. Also, every time I'd go into a different room (by door or
pipe), it would look like a different glitch! Here's all the glitched looks
I saw: backwards Shy Ghost, happy sunflower face when moving, sleeping
sunflower face when not moving, a really strange white triangle with eyes
when moving, and an invisible blob with black eyes when not (much like
a bigger version of Marching Milde, and I was IN the room with them too!).
When I got to Hookbill's room, it looked even stranger! When It
was moving it looked like a piece of
Hookbill's shell (broken, like when you beat him) and when it wasn't moving
it looked like a jagged red piece of SOMETHING I can't even describe easily.
When I hit Hookbill with it, he fell over INSTANTLY. And of course, my
little glitchy pal returned. But when I beat him, the glitch flew away.
So I guess I should have pressed START, then SELECT, so I could keep it.
But I didn't know that I could at the time. It was REALLY cool to have
a wicked glitch follow me around everywhere! I don't know if I'll ever
be able to pull off the same glitch again. Spotted by Fwipp
Deathspeeder.
- In the More Monkey Madness! stage,
there are 21 red coins instead of 20. If you get a 21st coin, the game
acts as though you are picking up your 20th; the same fanfare plays, and
your score does not increase any further. Spotted by Fwipp
Deathspeeder.
- While fighting Baby Bowser, when
he jumps in the air, jump on him. If done correctly, he should freeze in
place. The only way to unfreeze Baby Bowser is to run in to him and lose
a life. Spotted by wackowendy429.
- In level 1-7, Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy,
at the end, where there are the colorful bridges you can break to get a
red coin, have Yoshi stand on it. Then, have him ground pound on the colorful
bridge, and once you make contact with the bridge with your ground pound,
press start in midair. If done correctly,Yoshi should keep falling with
the bridge. If you unpause it, Yoshi will die if he is offscreen. Spotted

- When Tap Tap the Red Nose falls into
the lava, jump just before the explosion. Yoshi will get frozen for a few
seconds, but look at his eggs. They're still moving when they should be
frozen. Spotted by Koopiana Jones.
- In Salvo the Slime's Castle, ride
the first green platform all the way until it stops on the ledge. One of
the platforms will overlap with the brown spin platform. Make Yoshi walk
to the very end, since he will act normal just up to the middle. The game
will act as if he is standing on both; the brown platform will be spinning
downward, and Yoshi's image will be perpetually moving like it is trying
to fall, but Yoshi will still be standing still. Do a ground pound, but
hold the control pad down. The brown platform will spin super fast. Yoshi's
image will appear to keep going through the platform, yet he still acts
as though he's standing still! Spotted by Fwipp

- It is impossible to get a zero as
a final score. I tried. I made the timer go just to zero before I got Baby
Mario again in the ring in the first level, but when they tallied my score,
it said I had five stars. Spotted by Fwipp

- If you begin pushing a Chomp Rock,
then jump over it and get eaten by a Piranha Plant, and then the Rock rolls
into the Piranha Plant, the Plant will be unharmed so long as it is eating
Yoshi. Spotted by Fwipp Deathspeeder.
- In Tap Tap the Red Nose's Castle,
World 6-4, try ground pounding to go up or down the pipe elevators. Keep
holding down. Even though you aren't jumping, Yoshi somehow continues to
pound the pipe as if he never touched the ground. Spotted by Trollish
Beastfighter.
- In World 1-2, if a Chain Chomp falls
on the ground, it'll make a hole and a crunching noise. However, if a different
Chain Chomp falls in a hole that was already made by a Chain Chomp, you'll
hear the crunching noise even though the Chain Chomp didn't hit the ground!

- In stages with
Chomps that fall to the ground, walk very slowly when you are nearing the
"trigger point" for the next Chomp. As soon as a Chomp in the background
starts coming over, stop. The Chomp will land offscreen, and you will hear
the "gruntch" noise. However, if you did it right, there will usually be
no hole in the ground when you keep walking! This makes many of the Chomp
levels easier. Of course, if you wait too long, another Chomp will come,
so make sure you hurry across! Spotted by Double D.
- Go to Bowser's
Castle and fly past the Skeleton Goonies. Now when you're at the spinning
doors, attempt to hit door #1. Go through that door until you see a red
! Switch and some lava. Have Yoshi dive into the lava and be as close to
the wall towards the red ! Switch as you can. Face the switch, too. Yoshi
will jump up in pain and land on the red ! switch. The death jingle will
play, but you're still alive! Note that the music will be turned off for
a while. Spotted by Fly Guy.
- Trust me, this
is worthwhile! First you have to have one of those 10+ Star Point items,
then go beneath any helicopter bubble, then let an enemy hit you. Wait
until Mario's meter is at 0, then when the Toadies are about to steal him,
lick him back to you, but as soon as that happens hit the bubble and the
Toadies will come to steal him again. Go to your items and choose 10+ Star
Points. He will then be crying in a bubble as usual. Hit him and he will
be trapped in a tiny bubble! Just wait to go back to normal, and Mario
will still be in a bubble! Then, you can eat him and turn him into an egg!
No more crying! HURRAH! Spotted by Larry.
- Find one of
the red platforms with upside-down triangles on them (near the end of Touch
Fuzzy Get Dizzy, for example). Ground Pound on one to break it, and then
immediately pause the game. Yoshi and the pieces of the bridge will continue
to fall, but in slow motion (eventually they'll wrap around and come back
from the top of the screen). If you unpause the game while Yoshi isn't
visible, the game will act as if you had just lost a life. Spotted by Midna.

- In the level
"At Last, Bowser’s Castle", if you lose the baby to the Toadies, the Toadies
take the baby into the sky and up to Bowser’s castle. But aren't you already
there? Spotted by shadaki.
