about the last one it was most likely a spike right after getting hit by the lava which does happen at higher % (i managed to tech on a plattform, roll and then get hit by the acid again =P)

P D · Oct 3, 2009

if 2 people pick up an item at the same time it gives 1 item to each char

dch111 · Oct 3, 2009

I just tried it and 1st player (prior controller port) gets it first.

I'll add links to some of these glitches later to clarify them (videos/howtos)

btw, how do you get DK to float using the ultimate glitch? I assume it involves grabbing a box, but he always loses it and his pose

P D · Oct 3, 2009

did you do it with TAS?

it has to be the exact frame

dch111 · Oct 4, 2009

I used an emulator and set both player one and two to the same controls. Does it have to be perfect distance from the items as well?

P D · Oct 4, 2009

probably. it could be a few frames after someone picks it up too, kinda like the invis. bomb glitch

dch111 · Oct 4, 2009

I'll add it then...if anyone has a link to a video/etc. of this, it'd be greatly appreciated.

dandan · Oct 5, 2009

the bumper in peach's castle just moved on my game, i guess it was emulator though, it moved after being hit and stayed in the air where it stopped.
unfortunately i do not have it recorded.

hamburglar · Oct 5, 2009

that's not a glitch, the bumper shifts position depending on how hard and in what direction a character bounces off it.

dandan · Oct 5, 2009

i guess i just don't play enough on that stage...

Blue Yoshi · Oct 5, 2009

I don't think you need to hit the bumper for it to move... it moves by itself. I've seen it move without anyone hitting it.

NixxxoN · Oct 5, 2009

I lol'ed at mario/luigi roll glitch. Unfortunately then can't be kept at big size :/

Blue Yoshi · Oct 5, 2009

Also related to the Mario/Luigi roll glitch... if you have a CPU in the match, it attacks the image (i.e. the giant/small mario). It doesn't attack Mario/Luigi's real location (i.e. where they started the glitch).

dch111 · Oct 5, 2009

What does it do if you've pretty much tunneled into the stage? Just spam ground attacks?

I was really disappointed that the roll glitch didn't make mario heavier or anything. It would've been awesome to mess with my friends : (

Blue Yoshi · Oct 5, 2009

Well... it would be fun to do... become incredibly huge and your friends trying to attack you... but all of their attacks do nothing to you...

Actually... thinking about it... I think I'll do this in one of my local tournaments... just randomly pull this off and completely confuse an opponent. Then when he walks near where I really am, I just 'magically' appear right in front of him and up-smash

I can get away with too much against the people I play against lol. Some know about this glitch... but when I do pull it off against someone who doesn't...

smakis · Oct 6, 2009

i spoke with that, he explained it poorly, what he meant was every time he bumped into the bumper, it moved and then stayed there, so he could continue bumping into it moving it offscreen, under the stage etc

Blue Yoshi · Oct 6, 2009

huh? don't understand...

Sounds like a glitch... or something that's not supposed to happen...

The bumper at the top moves on it's own. I went on training mode, didn't do anything (well... rolled so the camera would not zoom in). The bumper moved on it's own. Is that the bumper you are talking about?

The bumper, moving floor, and the slanted grey ledges all move on their own.

smakis · Oct 6, 2009

yes thats the bumper, but hitting it moved it from its original place, you could move it anywhere you wanted

dch111 · Oct 6, 2009

How did this occur (how can we perform this glitch), or was his copy of the game corrupted?

smakis · Oct 6, 2009

was on emulator, and i have no clue since it was him experiencing the glitch =)

Blue Yoshi · Oct 6, 2009

He may have simply 'mis-remembered' what happened... (sports quotes, anyone?).

But in seriousness, that should not happen. There's either something wrong with his version of smash, he's using gameshark cheats without knowing he's using them, or you're not telling us something that will help us figure out what it is...

dandan · Oct 6, 2009

i have no clue why it happened, was on training mode with both being falcon.
first and only time this is happened.

Blue Yoshi · Oct 6, 2009

What exactly happened? Did you have two Falcon Punches collide on the bumper? Did you just repeatedly knock someone into the bumper? How did the bumper move? Did it stop after every movement in it's new 'unnatural' position?

Can't explain it unless we have more info.

dch111 · Oct 6, 2009

I remember there being a GS code for movable bumpers that might have accidentally been turned on. In any case, I'll keep tab on it for now, but if it happens again enough times, I'll add it to the list.

dandan · Oct 6, 2009

no gs codes except all chars and mushroom kingdom.
what happened is that it moved everytime after being hit and stopped in its new position.
after i saw it happen i started bumping intentionally into it and started moving it down through the stage
(left part of the moving floor) and continued moving it downwards until i could not see the bumper anymore.
i hope that explains it.
moreover, there is a glitch of some sort of gravity to the left, really odd, happened to me numerous times.
i have a movie of that, just need to encode it and upload it to youtube.

dch111 · Oct 6, 2009

If it can be reproduced normally, I'll add it. (anyone have a link to the clipping teleport glitch by the way? I can't find the thread; I know it can be done on the right edge of dreamland through DI, but that's it.)

Your copy of smash seems strange. Sure you have the "official" version?

dandan · Oct 7, 2009

yes i am sure, the gravity thing is a bug that happens in pj64, it happened to a lot of other players.
the bumper thing i cannot explain, but it only happened once and i have no idea how to reproduce it.

Blue Yoshi · Oct 7, 2009

the 'clipping' of the stage glitch... do you mean the glitch where you go hit the stage on one side and appear on the other side of the platform? That does happen on Dreamland... (thread called "East Dreamland glitch" or something like that... and it happened to me), but it also happens in Board the Platforms. This glitch is used as a shortcut in that mode for pikachu.

It happens in many places.

smakis · Oct 7, 2009

just read what he says >_>, he clearly states that he moved the bumper and moved it through the moving plattforms on peachs castle =)

Ah, I see. I think I remember that glitch. Though, since I'm listing glitches doable on the console, I can't include it.

Added. Thanks for the info.

NixxxoN · Oct 7, 2009

I tried to do the ultimate glitch on PAL version but the invisible bob-omb glitch didnt work T_T
However the link bomb glitch works on pal version

dch111 · Oct 8, 2009

I thought for sure it worked on all versions. Yeah, the link bomb glitch also works for setting it up.

But I always find myself needing two links since the invisible mine only stays if the glitching link doesn't produce any new bombs. (I am aware you could also put the invisible bomb you're holding on the ground, but then it always vanishes in a puff of smoke (the smoke is visible), like an item that hasn't been picked up in awhile)

NixxxoN · Oct 9, 2009

you could add SSB DBZ Genkidama to the list (Pokemon glitch variant)

dch111 · Oct 9, 2009

It is a variant of the ultimate glitch (though I guess the one video I linked to isn't comprehensive about the different types of it). I'll create a subdivision for gameshark-only things though.

House · Oct 9, 2009

I've got a gameshark which makes samus' charge shot grow withouth limits. Also when it's fired it advances very slowly. I'll post a screenshot later.

Awesome.

I hope u can share this gameshark someday =)

dch111 · Oct 12, 2009

Edit: Added Falcon's invincible leg, and also the golden hammer glitch.

blaze3927 · Oct 12, 2009

is pika double up b up direction x 2 or twice vertical whatever considered a glitch?

i cant seem to do it with the nrage plugin only works (i think) with jabo direct, but that might just be because of different analog stick settings
