In Super Mario Sunshine, if you go to the last mission of Bianco Hills and balance on a rope while repeatedly using the Rocket Nozzle, then get hit by a Wind Spirit, Mario will shoot up to a great height. As he falls, he will sometimes stop in midair, looking broken. Pressing the Y button will resume the fall.

Gandhi has been historically the most aggressive character in Civilization due to an original bug in the first game that caused him to go all-out once he reaches democracy. They just kept the thing going ever since.

To further explain this bug, because I was chatting with mothmonarch about Civilization and other strategy games last night and I never got around to explaining this fully, but I love this story:

Gandhi’s AI in the original game had its aggression set to the absolute minimum (0 on a scale of 0 to 10, I believe, I may have this wrong but the basic idea I’m about to explain is accurate, as far as I can tell). Adopting democracy lowers an AI civ’s aggression by 2 points, so when someone who is fully peaceful loses two points of aggression, they should still be nice and polite, right?

Except this is an old DOS game, and so computer math is in place. What actually happened was that Gandhi’s aggression level ticked backwards two steps, from 0 to 255. On a scale of 0 to 10, Gandhi is now 255 points of pure nuclear rage.

And that’s the story as I recall it, but again I may have gotten some details wrong, so feel free to correct me! After that, as the original poster said, the devs loved the bug so much that they just kept it in as a running joke!

“On a scale of 0 to 10, Gandhi is now 255 points of pure nuclear rage.”

I about pissed myself laughing at this.

In Super Mario 64, it’s possible to reach the island in the middle of the underground lake in Hazy Maze Cave by sliding under the elevator from the red coin room to the rolling boulder room as it’s descending.

So I found a way to glitch out of the Silver battle and then this happened…

An incomplete list of some of my favourite early Pokemon game glitches

konekoling:

If you end an encounter in a draw, the game will behave as if you lost, but the victory jingle will still play anyways.

You can evolve a Pokemon that requires a stone to evolve without using an item by leveling it up in battle, and then finishing the battle with a Pokemon with a hexadecimal identifier equal to the needed stone.

All items intended to quadruple attack accuracy actually quarter it instead. Whoops.

Some of the hidden items in the Japanese releases of Red and Green just have flat-out incorrect coordinates for the itemfinder’s reference, and if you pick up one out of this set of six miscoded items, the other five become unobtainable.

The aforementioned hidden items can, however, somehow be made obtainable again by moving a fossil item out of your inventory.

You can use the storage system to get yourself a party of only fainted pokemon. This results in the player character blacking out four steps after leaving the PC

If you catch a Pokemon that has used transform, via legitimate moveset, use of metronome, or otherwise, the game will just assume it was a ditto once it’s in your possession.

You can end the encounter with the Ghost Marowak without a Sylph Scope by just throwing a Pokedoll at it.

Catching an ‘M with a Hexadecimal identifier of 00 will leave behind an invisible but otherwise Completely Normal Ditto with its previous moveset at level 0 or 80 that needs to be caught or defeated before the battle can properly end. These games have been out for twenty years and we still don’t know why this happens.

You can buy any of the drinks in the Celadon vending machines as long as you have enough to buy a Fresh Water.

Walking around enough with Pikachu off screen in Yellow can just completely destroy the game for some reason.

If you force a glitch Pokemon with a hexadecimal value of FF into your party, the game will treat it as a hybrid of both Charizard and the cancel button. The game treats this whole scenario about as well as you would expect.

Attempting to use the Mew Encounter exploit with a Pokemon with a special stat of over 250 results in encountering a glitch trainer who causes the game to just flip the absolute fuck out when trying to calculate how much money to award you afterwards. This causes the relevant memory poiner to shoot off to god knows where, and as a result it just sets a solid two hundred unrelated hexadecimal values in the game to 99 in the process, filling your party with level 153 Bulbasaur that can only use explosion.
