In New Super Mario Bros., touching one of the rotating platforms in Level 4-Ghost House for only a few frames before falling or jumping off results in the entire level freezing. Enemies will not move, fireballs will remain in midair and block animations will display only the first frame.
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, once Mario has become the Champion of the Glitz Pit, standing in this specific spot in the hallway near the Champion’s room will result in the security guard becoming stuck in a loop of going away from the door and back again.
In Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels, Mario and Luigi will not be harmed by the hammers thrown by walking Hammer Bros. as long as they are standing at the left edge of the screen. This glitch is present in all versions of the game.
In Super Mario 64 DS, entering a warp after getting a Super Mushroom will cause a graphical glitch with the characters’ faces before they fully materialize.
In Super Mario Bros. 2 or Super Mario All-Stars, defeating Wart by throwing the last vegetable into his mouth while being far enough away from him locks you out of completing the game, as the camera stops scrolling and refuses to let you into the door leading to the credits.
In Super Mario Bros. 3, if you grab onto a vine while Mario has Starman power, he will keep rotating for as long as you hold onto the vine even after it wears off.
Glitch from Super Mario Bros. 2. If you throw an enemy at another enemy that’s recently been thrown and is still upside-down, they will both fly upward.
“Small Fire Mario” glitch from Super Mario Bros. If you hit Bowser as Super Mario while touching the axe at the same time, Mario will be Small Mario with Super Mario’s sprite. If you then pick up a Super Mushroom, Mario will be Super Mario with Small Mario’s sprite. Finally, a Fire Flower will turn him into Fire Mario with Small Mario’s sprite and Fire Mario’s palette.
Glitch in Level 2-7 of Yoshi’s Island. Hit that Hint Block with a giant egg and this might happen.
The “dead flying Mario” glitch from Super Mario 64. Go to the cannon in the corner of Shifting Sand Land with a Wing Cap and 4 or less energy units remaining, and aim as far up and left as possible out of the cannon. Mario will hit an invisible wall and lose all his energy while falling back into the cannon, but you can still shoot him out and fly around with 0 energy units. When you touch the ground, Mario will finally die.
