The Stage Glitch and Info
AMAZARIUM
Welcome to The Glitch and Info Amazarium, a place of filled with wonderful crashes and screwups that plague the rickety stick house of programming known as Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
Below, trying to compound the entire boards information in one place, I will be listing for each stage's known glitches and some mechanics. If you'd like to contribute, and please do, refer me to a thread or video por favor.
Multi-Stage Glitch: "The Fall Through"
During the transition periods for changing or moving stages, characters have been known to "fall through" the stage. This as been known to happen most commonly with, but not limited to, charging attacks, grabs, actions involving items, and even rolls. It's been known to happen even on static stages such as Brinstar.
Proven to occur on (click for video): Castle Siege, Delfino Plaza, Pirate Ship, Brinstar, Rainbow Cruise, and Yoshi's Island.
Has been known to happen on Pokemon Stadium 1, Halberd, Onett, and Wario Ware.
Multi-Stage Glitch: "The Earthquake Glitch"
Using Kirby's Down-B, Stone, over a certain slope will cause the animation to repeat the landing animation until the move finishes.
Famously used on Picotchat, aka "Pictopounding." Video.
But can also be performed on the head of The King of Red Lions on Pirate Ship, the lowest branch on the fire transformation on Pokemon Stadium 1, and the right platform when the cord is severed on Brinstar.
Multi-Stage Glitch: "The Grab Seizure"
Grabbing certain characters on certain slants causes the grabbed to go into a strange glitchy state, almost like a seizure.
Shown to happen on Corneria and Yoshi's Island (Pipes) as Ike grabbing King Dedede, and Castle Siege as Squirtle grabbing Sonic. As well as on Green Hill Zone, Mario Circuit, Pokemon Stadium 1, and New Pork City.

Glitches:
- Suffers from the fall through glitch.
- If Squirtle were to grab Sonic from uphill on the slope on the first transformation it will result in a grab seizure.
- If the game is paused during one of the transitions, the transition will pass by quickly. The game loads the data while pausing.
- If Sudden Death happens, the match will be played out on whichever level the original match was finished.
Delfino Plaza
Glitches:

Rainbow Cruise
Glitches:
- Around the top of the stage, a character can squeeze in between the falling blocks and checkered floor. Original Thread. Video.
- It seems the checkered fan-like platform is rather glitchy in Brawl. At 0:05 in this video, the fall through glitch can be seen. Video.
- During the ship portion of the cruise, it's possible to stand on an invisible platform above the ship. Video.
