Pick up two items at once
Note on the discovery of this glitch
Exciting-ness scale: 4 out of 10
Does it work? --> Confirmed. It works.

This glitch is not so exciting, but gets a fairly high number on the exciting-ness scale because it is very useful. It is also a part of two of the glitches that are later on this page. The glitch is fairly simple. You can use basically any two items for this glitch (we have only tried it with p-blocks and koopa shells but we're sure you can use more). However, you can not do it with two koopa shells or two goombas. Also, this is difficult with goombas because they will often get up and hurt you. Place one item down. Now, take the second item and try to place it down at the exact same place as the first. Now, back up a bit and run at the two items, holding Y. If done correctly, you will pick up both of the items, though it may not look like it. You can then set them both down and use them separately. This glitch can be difficult with koopa shells because they are easily kicked away. It helps to put down the shell second and crash into the first item and then put down the koopa shell. Be ready to jump if you're trying this glitch with a koopa shell and you're near a wall...

Die when you're winning
Note on the discovery of this glitch
Exciting-ness scale: 6 out of 10
Does it work? --> Confirmed. It works.

Become big Mario, get a Yoshi, and go through Chocolate Island 3 until you get close to the end where there's one goal above you and one to the far right. I find this glitch is easiest to do as Cape Mario and Blue Yoshi because it lets you get through the level very quickly with the koopas all over the place to use. Now, stand directly under the goal above. Jump up and then push A to jump off Yoshi. If you time it so that this double jump goes high, Mario will hit the goal above. He will fall from the goal and land back on the lower platform with Yoshi. He will continue to walk to the right in the winning point-counting mode. However, that platform is pretty short and Mario will fall down after walking on it for a bit and you'll die, losing a life, even though you were already through the goal.

Jump at the goal like this
Where'd Mario go!?




Mess up the main world's colors

Exciting-ness scale: 8 out of 10
Does it work? --> Confirmed. It works.

Go through Chocolate Island 3 and get to the end, but don't go through the goal. As in the Die when you're winning glitch, you should be big Mario and on Yoshi. It helps to be cape Mario and have a blue Yoshi so you can go through the level pretty quickly by flying through. Now, stand below the first goal that stands at the top of the screen. Walk to the left a bit so that there is land above you but it's still before the goal. Jump up with your Yoshi and at the peak of his jump, press A to hop off of him. If you time the jumping correctly, you will get enough height and be up next to the goal. Now, walk through the goal. Mario will be in the top of the screen and the game will have trouble focusing on anything for its normal zoom-out sequence in the end. So, the game will get slightly messed up and the colors in the overworld will become messed up. You can go into the Forest of Illusion to clear up the black areas around the Mario at the top, but the colors will remain messed up. However, going into Vanilla Dome, other levels, and probably other separate areas will return everything to normal.

Winning a level never looked so... artistic
Whoa. Serious inverted glitchiness




Get two of one item

This glitch is very useful... you can get two feathers, two extra lives, two mushrooms, two fire flowers, two of anything that comes out of the ? blocks, including Yoshis (which is detailed in a separate glitch because of the crazy stuff it does). Use the pick up two items at once glitch to do... guess what... pick up two items at once! I find it easiest with a koopa shell and a P-switch because they're pretty common. Now, go under the ? with the item you want and throw the two items upwards to it (hold up and then push Y). Two items will come out, although it will probably look like one. However, when you get it, you will get it twice!

Ghost Yoshi (variation on get two of one item)
Note on the discovery of this glitch

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

Use the get two of one item glitch under a block that holds a Yoshi. Yoshi will pop out jitterishly and you will here two Yoshi noises. When you jump on Yoshi, you will hear two Yoshi-getting-on noises. Now, on the visible Yoshi, walk somewhere and hop off. Jump over to where Yoshi used to be. You will land on an invisble Yoshi (you should hear the Yoshi-boarding noise). Mario will look like he's walking around normally and the music will still be the same. But, if you push A you will jump up really high. And, if you stand on a block (like the ? blocks or the information blocks), pushing A will often make you warp under them. You have to get back on the invisible Yoshi after pushing A, though. He can be found back in his original Yoshi-sprouting spot or where you left him but he's often by the visible Yoshi.

We've tried this glitch so far in Yoshi's Island 2 and Chocolate Island 5. In Yoshi's Island, use a koopa shell and the p-switch at the end of the level. There are two yoshi places in the level, so you can experiment a bit. In Chocolate Island, you should use the p-switch by the square of blocks and the koopa shell by the areas of water further in the level. The Yoshi is in the ? block at the top of the square by the p-switch. Be sure not to hit the switch and kill yourself... And, jumping off the invisible Yoshi by the squared-in spinys can be sometimes dangerous because you sometimes slip through the blocks and get hit by them. Experiment and have fun.
