Get to the grassy fields special arena without the rocket pack
Submitted by: Thor
Exciting-ness scale: 2? out of 10
Does it work? --> Unconfirmed. We'll check soon.

This is a very hard glitch and can take up to two hours to do.
On the west side of Isle Delfino, there are trees which lead to a pipe which you can only get to with the rocket boost. But, you can do it another way with the hover rocket or the booster rocket.

Hover rocket method: This is the harder of the two. Stand on the ledge where the cannon is. Now, stand on the spot right before where you hit the corner turn. Do a triple jump, and aim off to the left. If you don't hit it at the top, then it most likely won't work. Aim for the trunk part of the first tree that jots out. if you land on it, take extra caution because if you fall, it will take you a long time to get back up. Jump and use the hover nozzle to get to the top of the first tree, then jump and hover nozzle again to the next one. Do the same thing to get to the next tree. Now, on this tree, do a spin jump, a wall bounce, and hover. If you did it correctly, you should go down the pipe!

Boost Rocket Method: This one is much easier. On the lowest tree, aim for the wall where it and the trunk meet. Try to hit it and bounce back while using the turbo on the water. Now do a side jump to get ontop of the tree. Do a spin jump and aim for the trunk of the next one. Side jump again. Do the regular spin jump to go to the next tree trunk and side jump to get ontop again. Do the spin jump, then a wall jump to land right on the edge of the ledge that the pipe is on. You may then enter the pipe.

Climb with a fruit
Submitted by: Nathan Smith
Exciting-ness scale: 4 out of 10
Does it work? --> Confirmed. It works.

Go to Pianta Village (any episode) and grab a fruit. Then go to one of those holes with a grate on the bottom. While still holding the fruit, do a ground pound. Mario will now be holding the fruit and hovering under the grating. If you move, Mario will make the sound of carrying a fruit instead of the sound he makes when climbing. If you move, he sort of claps his feet in a strange way. The camera may also act slightly off. If you get onto a vertical grating, Mario will still float but he will no longer make the fruit-carrying grunt. If you try to jump back onto the hangable grating above you, Mario will make the throw noise, drop (not throw) the fruit, which falls abnormally fast, and then fall to his death. His hover won't be able to save him, but you can flip the gate on top and make it safely back. Also, if you jump while holding onto the grating above, Mario will fall similarly and die, but the fruit will remain on top of the grating.

See the unreachable Rocket Nozzle

Does it work? --> Confirmed. It works.

Go to the bell tower with a banana on it, and jump on the small ledge above it. Now, make the camera face inside the tower, and look up into it and you'll see the rocket nozzle that can never be reached! If you have the normal rocket nozzle, you can shoot up with it and see the nozzle box on your way to the bell.

Look up there. Now, how can you get that thing? Not possible.




Teleport during the fluff festival

Does it work? --> Confirmed. It works.

Go to Pianta Village and enter the Fluff festival level. Grab onto a fluff just as it is about to disappear. You should appear at the top of the level, holding onto a fluff.

Woohoo! This should be in an amusement park or something.
Look down at all those little people...




Fall through Delfino Plaza

Does it work? --> Confirmed. It works.

Get the grey tubo nozzle box and then go to the middle of Delfino Plaza where there are docks and water, near the Shine tower. Go to the corner with the box ontop of it. Jump into the water and swim underneath the dock holding the box. Swim at the inside corner at the surface of the water and use the turbo nozzle. While using the turbo, jump and you should jump through the dock into the big brown box above you. Let go of the turbo. Now, walk to the right. You should fall out of the box and under Delfino Plaza. As soon as you hit the ground, start jumping or you will die. Keep clear of the underground tunnels, or you will enter them and no longer be glitchy. Once you reach an invisible wall, jump, then hold the jump button, and you will float in place.
