The only way to defeat Phanto in Super Mario Bros. 2: using a Stopwatch, then a Star. Having only a Star will simply make him bounce off of you.
In Super Mario Bros. 2, if you deal the final hit to Birdo in Level 1-1 and then stand under the Crystal Ball as it falls out, it will bounce all the way under the Mask Gate and get stuck without being able to be picked up, making it impossible to exit the level without reloading the room.
In Super Mario Bros. 2, standing on a log while a POW Block hits the ground will make the log ascend to the top of the screen with your character.
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.
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.

Animated background tiles such as POW Blocks are missing an animation frame in Super Mario Bros. 2. The eighth frame is still in the code, but due to a programming error, it is not displayed. This is fixed in the remakes.
In Super Mario Bros. 2, pressing Up and Down simultaneously while on a vine will make your character shoot up extremely quickly. Sadly, this is impossible to perform with a regular NES controller unless you break or modify the D-pad.
