Go into a building without using the door
Discovered by: Wilma of CGS
Exciting-ness scale: 1 out of 10
Does it work? --> Confirmed. It works.

You need to have that rooster guy who follows you and lets you fly with him. Now, go up to a door as close as possible without entering. Or, you could enter and then exit and turn to face the building you just entered. Pick up the bird and fly forward into the house. Now, through the bird and you will drop and enter the building through what looks like the wall or ceiling. This does not lead to anything interesting but the concept is sort of funny...

Screen warping
Discovered by: CyberGlitch
Exciting-ness scale: 5 out of 10
Note: This only works on the older (black and white) versions of the game.
Does it work? --> Confirmed. It works.

Just as you hit the boundary of an area, press select. The map will be brought up. You will stay in the same position, but because you hit the boundary, you will be in the next room. You can get to all sorts of weird places and sometimes surpass previously unavailable areas. This only works with earlier versions of the game.

Talon's Cave Glitch World
Discovered by: CyberGlitch
Exciting-ness scale: 5 out of 10
Note: This only works on the older (black and white) versions of the game.
Does it work? --> Confirmed. It works.

Go to the first dungeon (Talon's Cave) and go to the area where the first boss is at. If you've already beaten the dungeon, just warp and then go up a couple of screens. There should be holes at the side that bring you to a side-scrolling area when you fall down them. Have the jumping feather out and fall down a hole. As soon as you've entered the room, press the button that the feather is equipped on. You will jump up and hit the top boundary, bringing you to a glitch world! All the images are messed up... it looks pretty weird.

Does it work? --> Unconfirmed. We'll check if it works soon...

Go one screen to the right of the grandma in Mabe Village (where the telephone booth is). Screen Warp one screen to the right and you'll appear in a pond next to the trendy game. Swim one screen to the right and you'll see a grandma with a sword. You will be on land and you can kill her and she can kill you!

Go to the path right below Marin and Tarin's house. Screen warp down and you will appear on the trees. You can press down and jump off, or if that doesn't work, use you're pegasus boots down. You will see grandma ocktorocks; they spit grandmas at you!
