in goldeneye on the bunker level, there are a bunch of tvs hanging from the ceiling. if you throw remote mines on them and blow them up, all thrown items will studdenly start suspending themselves in mid air. This plus the infinite ammo/all weapons cheat makes for some pretty cool shit. it also helps that guards infinitely spawn if you set off an alarm so you have lots of fodder to play with

The select screen warp in Link's Awakening. I'd make a save file and see how horribly I could break the game before the save corrupted completely.

[Anonymous No.1397361]

From my experience and enjoyment:

Final Fantasy Tactics - Weapon Duplication for those damn rare Swords
also
The Square + Down glitch that saved you hours of grinding

Ogre Battle 64 - Item Multiplication, shame the only item i ever wanted to duplicate for real (Peace & Love) was not affected by this, at least i got an army of Angel Knights and Seraphs

Metal Slug 2 - That glitch on the 2nd boss where he doesn't move or shoot

Pokemon Duplication

FF VI - Relm's Sketch glitch ( i could never reproduce this on an emulator, only on the real console )

Donkey Kong Country - Weird colored kongs & The crazy teleport glitch on the overworld map that skips world 1 , 2, and most of world 3

Last Blade 2 - Juzoh keeps one of his SDMs on Speed Mode doesn't need Super Meter to activate & Moriya's Instant Teleport

Hope i remember more soon

They fixed Relm's Sketch glitch in the 1.1 version of FFVI, so if you want it to work on an emulator, you need to find a v1.0 rom.

[Anonymous No.1397373]

I remember this FF6 being the first game I invested time in looking for FAQ's on glitches.
Relm's sketch was a big one. I managed to get one of my character's General Leo's Shock ability.
Also having 255 Atma Weapons etc. wasn't bad either.
Didn't take too long for it to erase all of my saves, but still fun while it lasted.

Super Metroid - Space/Time beam

[Anonymous No.1397381]

My brother got an incredibly rare bug in final fantasy 7 where diamond weapon doesn't show up. You're left to wander the world in your airship looking for nothing. He started a new game the next day and beat it in a week.

In final fantasy 8, at the missile base on disk 2, there's a door where Selphie declares "IT'S LOCKED", but quistis points out that she has a key. In my game she didn't have a key for some reason. After learning what was supposed to happen and this bizarre bullshit I quit immediately.

Our playstation is cursed.

[Anonymous No.1397393]

Tomb Raider had a bunch of game that allowed to go through some boring parts very quickly - crouching, swimming or jumping on the corner of a wall would get you on top of it, jumping forward on the corner of a movable block makes you go through it, finding the right angle can make you traverse fences, going into certain areas in a way the developers didn't intend you to go makes some enemies spawn but not be animated, weird water behavior where it suddenly stops in a wall because the game doesn't expect you to be able to go there when it's still flooded, etc.

[Anonymous No.1397415]

>>1397373
that shit was freaky as hell the first time it happened to me, and man was my brother pissed when all the saves got deleted.

I remember jumping between those moveable blocks like you said in a bunch of places and leaving crocodile corpses in midair by draining the water out from under them in the cistern level.

[Anonymous No.1397761]

My favorite one ever is in SOR3/BK3. Most of the characters have an affinity towards a certain type of weapon and can do additional special moves when they pick it up.

Blaze's thing are bladed weapons, especially knives. If you do a running blitz special with the knife equipped, she kinda does a slashing shouryuken with it. Most of the time it just knocks the enemies down on impact, but every once in a while (when you do it as close as you possibly can, it seems), the knife gets kinda stuck in a dude's sprite, raping him for a gorillion damage in a matter of a seconds.

This vid is from Remake, but it'll do:

It's the fucking hypest shit, and it's immensely satisfying when you pull it off.

Once I was playing Donkey Kong Country 2, and one of Krow's eggs killed me (on my final life) just as I defeated him, so I continued the game with something like "- Lives" and essentially had an infinite number until I turned the console off.

[Anonymous No.1397816]

In Icewind Dale II once you get the first infinite bag but before starting the next chapter, you can make it glitch out and spawn more throwing knives if you try to put them in the bag. It's fixed after that part. I used it to make tons of gold.

[Anonymous No.1397828]

Mine are from Majora's Mask.
I really like using Fierce Deity anywhere because he is a cool character and I wish there was more story about who and what he is but it is somewhat of a consolation to be able to break free from the confines of the boss room and roam free around Termina with him.
The second one from MM, that I love, is being able to stop time. Many people complain about the time limit interfering with their ability to progress with the dungeons and, as a result, I think this glitch is just perfect because you can stop the clock and do all the dungeons. The only thing the time stopping changes is your ability to do bomber's sidequests - but if you want time stopped then it won't matter anyway, and it's a glitch you can do at any point in the game, which is also good. It's just such a helpful glitch but it's also cool for exploring Clock Town.

[Anonymous No.1397975]

>>1397361
Another one

Conker's BFD - I experienced a game breaking bug.
On the final part of the "It's War" Chapter of the game, you have to run away from the teddy base and to the beach, if for some reason you die at the exact moment you are crossing the invisible line that starts the escape cutscene (a teddy rocket hit me and i fell beyond said invisible line) the game skips the entire cutscene and sends you to the military base, upon exit, some events are triggered already for no apparent reason, here is what i found

-It was day when i went into the base and now its night outside
-the windmill has been blown off
-the queen bee is dead
-you can't go into any other door
-if you approach the door from the military base it closes (or opens, i forgot) then starts to fly into the night sky above and beyond
-somehow this gets saved to the cartridge and you can't advance the game anymore, you will need to start a new game

I like the Missigno glitch from the original porkemon just because of all the rumors it spawned in school.

Like you needed to beat the elite 4 100 times without saving then go to Bill's garden and rotate 10 times clockwise and then you would enter his magical realm and then get Mew.

You actually need to rotate counter-clockwise You can thrust me, my father works at Nintendo

Ok, listen. You know that trainer north of nugget bridge with the flegmon? DO NOT FIGHT HIM. Play until you get to Lavender and you can use Fly. Ready? Approach his line of sight and press START the moment he should see you. If done right, the menu pops up without him going all "!". Fly to lavender. Now he will go "!" and bluh bluh. In Lavandia, you will notice the START Button doesn't work anymore. Leave the city via the right exit. The menu will pop up. Close it by pressing B and whoosh Lv 7 Mew out of fucking nowhere.

[Anonymous No.1398838]

Top Gear Rally on the SNES - if you rode the outside wall on certain corners you gained a speed boost above the maximum your car could reach. The secret was to hold the stick away from the corner *almost* enough to make you leave the outside rail/wall. Made the game absolutely awesome.

Also Pitfighter for the Amiga500. Had 1/4 circle moves that weren't programmed in. Allowed you, for example, to turn a jump kick which had shitty hit ratios (u/f + hit) into a combo punch which had great hits (u/b + hit). The jump-kick would launch you, and then the move turns int oa combo punch midair. There were a few other things you could do in the same vein.

[Anonymous No.1398842]

Doom for diagonal running, and the greatest glitch of them all - Bunnyhopping in Quake. Pure poetry. Can't believe StreetFighter2 goes gold worldwide for the moves it has, and bunnyhopping remains on the out. And no, Tribes and Painkiller do not count. Warsow does.

I dunno about the diagonal running (though there is that wall-running glitch that's pretty cool), but the bunny hopping in Quake was originally a bug. It was removed in Quake II but then re-added back in with Quake III after id Software heard from the fans.

It's not really a glitch, but if you want to hear Proto Man's full whistle in Mega Man 3 all you need to do is pause the game just as you fall into a room where you'll fight him. If you pause before you land on the floor, you'll hear the full tune. I think it does contribute to the piles of cut material, oddities, and bad design/programming instances that show what a sloppy, rushed mess MM3 is, though.

[Anonymous No.1400537]

You guys need to learn the difference between a "glitch" and a "bug". Most of what you are describing are bugs.

Bug: An unintentional (or intentional) error that can be replicated under certain circumstances. Mojaras Mask fierce diety mask bugis one such example.

Glitch: An error that usually only happens once. Such as the graphics on an nes cart being scrambled due to dirty/faulty connecter pins.

I had a copy of Rygar on the NES when I was a kid (underrated game by the way), and in the overhead parts you could jump between screens and end up in places you should never have been.

A friend of mine brought his copy of Rygar over and showed me that exact same glitch back when we were in high school. I remember having to always be in the air because some of this broken screens go from land to water and you drown instantly if you're not jumping. One of the bosses you fight in side view mode even appears in overhead mode and he's easy to kill because you can just stand above him and aim down. Shit was so fun.

[Anonymous No.1401676]

>>1400784
It's pretty tricky. You have to tuck yourself into the corner to the left of the door of time and angle yourself in a particular way. Then you have to hold Z, do a leftward roll and do a left side-hop , which makes you clip through the door if you performed it right. Then you do a mid-air sword swing to land back in the level or else you fall under.

Get a bottled item like a fish or a bug. Release it and catch it again so that Link holds the bottle in his hand. Hold Z and then press R and the C button for the bottle at the same time. It should look like it begins playing the cutscene for releasing the bug/fish but you're able to move around freely. The game basically gets stuck in the cutscene state and because time doesn't pass during cutscenes it effectively stops the time.

that's no way easier,if you don't press the button to look through the telescope at exactly 00:00:00, which is hard to do, the game continues with the moon falling over the town and you start again at the first day,waste of time, also if you manage to do it right, many if not all of the NPCs dissapear, which won't let you advance the game

No, you don't have to do it at exactly 0, of you do it at, say, 0:00:10 it should still be ok because the telescope takes time to close. It's very easy, ive never failed to do it once. Also, yes the quest NPCs go, but themain story ones don't, which is why I like it because you can do the story without time.

The other thing I forgot to mention is that you won't initially be able to open the start menu. In order to open it, you need to either see Dawn of a New Day, or the Night cutscene thing. The problem is, Dawn of a New Day doesn't always occur, and I'm not entirely sure what triggers it, so you may have to wait until nighttime before you can change your items but it shouldn't take too long.

>Final Fantasy Tactics - The Square + Down glitch that saved you hours of grinding


ya that's my favorite glitch, I was pissed they fixed it in the psp remake and I actually had to grind it out

Which would you recommend? I hear the PSP version has a better translation but is horribly dog-slow.

The original, the translation isn't that bad, I'm sure you'll understand all what goes on

plus the psp translation is too pretentious and gets annoying after a while

ya the game lags to hell for every spell. it gets really old really quick. And even though I hear a lot of hate for the ps1 translation I thought it got the points across better.

You can do any of the quest related things, if you mean the spider house, do NOT do that, because he just produces a blank response, and I can't remember of it freezes the game...I will try it tonight. But you can even save your game, that doesn't fuck it up, but when you open it on the main menu it will say you are on the first day...but in a different language... Dont know why it does that.
