Glitches

The Mario RPGs have their share of glitches too, though not as chaotic as the glitches of the early Pokemon games and not as useful. They are, however, wacky and unexpected, so take a look at my adventure into the Mario RPG glitch dimension.

Super Mario RPG

In the Sunken ship, I once decided to go against the Mother Blooper and her little babies. I beat the big Blooper and the other babies kept on floating. I decided to finish them off for experience points, but Mario... just went right through them. He then jumped on the barrel and suddenly got into a battle with a Blooper. He beat it and then I decided to mess around and try to attack the remaining Bloopers. Once again, he went through them. He jumps up a little and another battle commences. I win. Mario walks away from the remaining Blooper and a battle ensues. I don't know why they were translucent and then suddenly fought me.

Paper Mario

Most of the glitches I've seen with Paper Mario involve the partner getting stuck in or behind something somehow and then suddenly reappearing. Although I've had a few of these happen to me as well, I can't recall how to do them again.

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door

I've had two peculiar events happen in this game. The first is just an unexpected side effect of programming and I've been able to do it many times. The second is an actual glitch which I have never been able to do again.

Floaty Partner

This is the first of the events that happened in my game. It is done by performing the trick in the X-Naut base where you go up a vent, become thin to fall through one of the exits, open a curtain, and become 8-bit Mario. If when Mario falls through the slits, his partner lands on the bar that holds the curtain, when the curtain is opened, the parter will abruptly become its 8-bit version and be floating on top of the bar.
Vivian is floating on the bar If Mario jumps around and it's a hovering partner, like Vivian or Flurry, the partner will float above ground at times. It's just a peculiarity and nothing of importance.

I'm only half the Yux I used to be...

This is very strange. I've only done it once, so it could possibly be an engine hiccup. When I reached the part of the X-Naut base with the conveyor belts, one of the Yux was halfway into the ground. The Yux is in the ground The laser hoops it shot at me were also halfway into the ground, although they hit me even when I was on top of the pipe. The battle was entirely normal.
The battle isn't different

Super Paper Mario

SPM has the 'Shadow World Glitch', where you go into a shop in World 1-2, turn into 3d, go behind a sign, turn into 2-D, go into 3-D again, and jump to the left. I have not tried it out, so I don't know exactly how it works. The PAL version of the game has a game-crashing glitch where no text was programmed for Mimi to say during a certain event. The game decides that the best course of action is to freeze, and so it does.
