in Spiderman 2 for PS2, i found this area that i was never able to find again. Some room with a bunch of guys in prison jumpsuits, Spidey made a comment, i died by them and never saw it again

On Gun for the PS2, the final boss is meant to be killed with enviromental traps and is impervious to bullets, i however shot him like 100 times and he died. But the game didn't recognize it so i just walked around the room in an endless limbo

i used a hack in Soul Calibur 2 to access hidden characters in the gallery mode, characters like Berserker and Assassin. Their model's are glitched out and zoomed in and Assasin's bio is mostly filler text with random quotes from the story mode, Berzerker? He crashes your game, literally goes right back to the browser menu. Never happened in anything else

Yugioh Duelist of the Roses, i hacked the Larva of Moth and Pupa of Moth into the game to see their attack animations (they have 0 attack and 2000 defense), they attack animations are terrible, just a recycle of Larva Moth

I think I was the first to discover this memory management related crash in Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga back in 2015 (Well, the video I posted as proof was from then, though I think I knew about it for a good few years prior). You just keep talking to this one guy in the bottom left corner of the Beanbean Castle Town (Doesn't matter if you buy advice from him or not), and the game eventually crashes. No other steps needed, no complicated setup, just... that. I know it's not an emulation bug either, since I was easily able to get it to occur on real hardware too. Makes me wonder what'd happen to the game's state if you got it to just before where it crashes, to see if the game behaves oddly. I never experimented much with the bug though, beyond finding it way back when.

While battling dragons in Final Fantasy 3 on DS, I discovered a way for the RNG to guarantee an Onion Shield drop. This is the most common drop, however, and I have since forgotten the method.

I realized in one Yu-Gi-Oh game that AI opponents will never activate the magic cards they set. This greatly enhances the viability of Anti-Spell Fragrance, a card that requires everyone to set magic cards before activating them.

LEGO Jurassic World (PS4)
On the level where the T-rex and Indominus rex are fighting, you play as a raptor.
You jump around on buildings, and there's one area where there's a kind of ledge, and if you run in-place a certain way, it throws you high in the air.
(See my screenshots)

One time I did it I was hovering in complete blackness and the music cut out until I drifted back down.

Another time It put me back to the start of the level and I was stuck there as I'd already done all the prompts and had to restart.

I'm sure others must have discovered this, but I hadn't seen it by others at the time (2017).



Senran Kagura PBS.
I somehow glitched Ranka's eyes in diorama mode. I placed her down somewhere, did something else and when I came back she was like this.

You can see from those bars on the left that it's default, although adjusting them made it worse.
Even exiting back to the previous menu, her eyes were still like that.

Only restarting the game fixed them, and it never happened again.



ECW Hardcore Revolution.
Play as New Jack, wear down your opponent. Body slam opponent outside the ring and you enter the ring and hit Jack's 187 headbutt finisher.
He can't reach the opponent and instead you take damage and knock yourself silly.



SVR '07 (I think it was?)
Play as wrestlers who have a finisher that you hit and then go for an automatic cover (Batista, Kane, Rey Mysterio) and play a TLC match iirc?
Hit your finish just as you are about to run out of stamina and become wobbly onto the table. You become wobbly but the opponent carries on taking the move and gets stuck in the pinning position, and can't be broken up from what I remember.

The weirdest things are usually framerate-related glitches, for example in one game I discovered that initiating a downward attack in midair and instantly looking upwards within the same frame, triggers a catapult effect that launches oneself even higher into the air. This can be done consecutively without ever touching the ground in between, so it's basically a flying glitch.
No, this isn't my signature.

In The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening I accidentally discovered the glitch world. One of the bosses would knock you into a pit which took you to the underworld map. I was feeling rather impatient so I mashed the button I had Roc's Feather set to, so I sorta jumped in mid-air and touched the top of the screen, which took me to a glitched-out screen where tiles would randomly be stuff it didn't look like, such as being able to swim through walls. The dungeon maps were all connected, so you could go to other dungeons and find items before you were supposed to. Basically, it totally broke the game.

In Lego Star Wars the complete collection from the 2000s I found a glitch where I could be able to control the truck outside of the Cantina like it was a character meaning I was invincible. Fucked up the camera though but it was hilarious

Forgot, I also found a fairly easy out of bounds in Partners in Time (Another handheld Mario RPG? Oh brother, this guy STINKS!!!) at around the same time. I swear these games are held together by sticks and chewing gum, which is fine since they're still damn fun. Since I don't have footage for this one laying around (Well I do, but literally portrait orientation footage of it happening on a Nintendo 2DS, at a very low bitrate, with a bad viewing angle), so I actually had to get some new footage straight from MelonDS. :D


Yes, it kinda looks like ass, since making a 30 second WebP that's 2.5 megabytes while still being the max framerate is tough, even with all the levers and pullies that WebP gives over GIF.

Two things come to mind, in games I played before many of you were probably born, lol. In Ultima IV, if you exit Lord British's castle into the overworld, you need to insert the Britannia disk. As you move around the map, it loads the next map chunks from the disk. So if you exit the castle, after it loads the current chunk, take the disk out and put in the dungeon disk. Then head west, and when you move far enough for it to load the next chunk, it will be all garbled and crazy looking. If you search around, you'll find a path through the chaos and a chest. The chest can be opened infinitely, which means time for 9999 gold quickly :) Just gotta be able to heal as you get hurt by trapped chests (random when you open a chest)

The other is Bard's Tale III. When the intro is playing, you can hit U to open the utilities menu. From there, you can import characters from BT1 or 2. It says to insert your character disk when you choose one. If instead you just throw any random disk in, it will still work. The character names will be total gibberish, but they'll often have loads of gold and a lot of good gear. The gear is totally random, based on what bytes it read at the positions it expects inventory but often you can find good stuff. The characters can also be godlike, but don't take them into your party. When you get into combat, they'll go insane and attack everything, including you lol. Just use the for cash and equipment.

in True Crime: New York City, i found a way to make the character lose his hat if you wear an outfit with one. If you glitch your way into water. The game doesn't have any accessable water, but if you clip your way out of bounds, you can swim but you'll automatically drown after a few second. And then respawn without a hat.

Streets of Rage

On this level I found out that you could trap enemies in the corner of the walls by the squishers, and it would count the enemy as being dead when he's still moving.

The thing is I've totally forgotten how I did it? I think you get them in the corner and flip over them, but can't remember.
Did this all the time as a kid though.

There's a glitch in barbie adventures wild horse rescue, that break boundries and makes you go out of bound and even go in unintended areas under the map and under water.

There were a few but only one thing comes to my mind

In Card Monsters if I set the game quality to low (and I had to if I wanted an enjoyable framerate) then there was a chance that two types of terrain would mix together. I'm not sure if I still have the screenshots on a hard drive lying somewhere, but it works by rendering both of them in 3D and simply letting them overlap. So for example when the volcano and the beach map got mixed I had sand dunes between the lava streams. It looked pretty funny

In Fire Emblem (GBA, Rekka no Ken) on the first optional map where you can find the magic seal, I had one enemy change his sprite into that of Eliwood. This fixed itself on the next turn. I never managed to reproduce this glitch, though.

I usually only break games with easily accessible console commands (Quake and its derivatives like Source and Call of Duty, Bethesda stuff) so I'm sure everything I discovered had already been discovered.

Dayspring Canyon's (Skyrim) interior cell has an isolated nordic ruin just floating there in the out-of-bounds area, which you can access with the TCL console command. I remember it taking around two minutes to reach it from the entrance to the cell, but it was very odd, since the music changed once you reached it as well.

In Crazy Chicken Kart 2(unpatched, 1.0.0), proceed to the second race(winter level) after finishing the previous race in 1st place, and don't press a button for 4 minutes and 55 seconds at least while the camera is hovering around the karts. This will glitch the game out and start you in last place. Useful glitch, I discovered that one.

Skipper and Skeeto: The Great Treasure Hunt. There's a special easter egg if you play on christmas where a christmas tree shows up in the study. Undocumented as far as I know.

In Scrimmy Bingus and the Crungy Spingus, you can find the 97th character if you walk into the school computer room after school hours on September 7th. As far as I'm aware, I'm the first person who discovered that.

I don't know if it was rare and it could have been patched by now, but I had a funny glitch in Spider-man Miles Morales. Nothing too crazy, it was just an enemy getting stuck in the ground and having a glitchy seizure. It looked funnier than it sounds trying to describe it.

I had another funnier glitch where one character and only one character was missing half their face/head the entire time, but that was a weird emulator thing.

I was playing Mafia and during a mission where you enter gunfights on a rooftop, I was about to clear the mission until I randomly glitched inside a wall and could not do anything but restart
