Inside the Jolly Roger Aquarium
Discovered by: Dom Dunc
Exciting-ness scale: 7 out of 10
Does it work? --> Confirmed. It works.

Go to the aquarium room (the room that contains the painting that leads to Jolly Rodger Bay). Go up to the glass panel to the immediate left of the painting (the glitch works on both sides, but for the sake of direction use this window). Go to the left edge of this window, where it touches the wall. Walk into this area and you should see that when you walk into it, it bumps Mario around. Now you need to turn Mario around so that he faces away from this seam. Start doing backwards longjumps at it. To do this, do the longjump forward and then hold back the control stick and repeatedly hit the jump button. You may need to adjust your angle several times as it needs to be very specific. You'll know you've got the angle right if you start doing multiple jumps when you hit the ground. If you can get Mario to do multiple jumps, keep on jumping and Mario will hopefully pick up enough speed to pop through the window (similar to stair glitch on the previous page). Once you get in there, you'll see that there isn't actually any water in there, so you can just run around on the floor and look at the pretty fish. Also you'll notice that there is no way out of the aquarium, so you'll need to reset.

This best works with the moat area outside of the castle, so drain the moat first. Go to the slope by the entrance to the basement that leads up to the grassy part of the area. Long jump onto the slope from the bottom of the moat and continue running. You will be running really quickly as long as you continue running around on the slope. If you stop, leave the slope, or turn to sharply, you will return to normal.

Start off with the jump here
Watch him go! Well, you can't really see it, but he's running like mad

Thanks so much to Joe DiSalvo for these screenshots!

Do this after you have drained the water from the town. This technique is extremely difficult, even harder than getting to the top of the castle early. Enter Wet-Dry World with the water as high as possible. Now, jump into the pipe that leads to the town. Once you come out the other end, look left and find the grey building with the flat roof. Drain the water. Make your way on top of this roof and look back towards the pipe. Take a run up and long jump onto the red roof below the pipe entrance, aiming for the fire-spitter. With luck, the fire spitter will light you on fire. When this happens, run in a circle so you end up facing the way you started (to my knowledge this is the only way to build up enough speed). You should start sliding on your butt towards the brown pillar on the wall. After a split second of sliding, jump towards the pillar, wall-kick and hold right. With a large amount of luck, you'll grab the top of the grating. From here, you can pull yourself up and drop down back into the pipe.

This has a couple of weird effects, number one, the camera can't handle being in the pipe with no water so it forces itself to stay outside, and when you get halfway down the pipe you pop to the water's surface in the main area.

Go to level 1 (Bob-omb Battlefield) and enter the battle with King Bob-omb (first star). Climb up to him. After starting a fight with him, slowly lead him down the path of the mountain and he will eventually jump back up. Go talk to him again and he will accuse you of throwing him out of the ring. This is what he says when you throw him off of the mountain - but you didn't throw him off!

Go to the picture of the first snow world. Stand in front of the picture and face away from it. Go into first person view and the camera should be behind the picture (you should see black). Get out of first person view and slowly look to the right. The camera will turn and you will see a big red F in the distance.
