The original Pokémon games were horrible messes of lazy coding that would break down at the first hitch. And it was beautiful (and sometimes terrifying).

Pretty much is at this point since it's clear the glitch is not being fixed intentionally because people like it. Best part is that it only happens when the giant's whack kills you anyway, so it's completely harmless.

I like that the game actually continues to play normally even during the glitch, "Shaun" is still subtitled and you can still hear Ethan yelling faintly in the distance when it's following Madison. ...then bringing it all together when Ethan's screaming SHAAAAAAUN right into the killer's face. I still hate Heavy Rain, but I think that video justifies its existence.

pr0p posted:Do you know if they reverse-engineer this from the game code or what? I can't imagine someone coincidentally doing this. In the cases of things like the Super Mario World and Pokemon one, it's a matter of the game trying to load things it shouldn't be, and then someone figuring out how to use those glitches in a way that they're basically modding the game while it's running, usually to achieve an end sequence way earlier than should be possible. I know in the case of the yellow one, the information on the TASVideos site explicitly mentions using save corruption to have 255 pokemon in the roster, which apparently allows the act of swapping pokemon past the sixth slot to change things like door warps and pokedex status, same with items, and basically does that in such a way that you can basically go from the first room to the end sequence. The SMW one raocow posted was a bit more...obtuse, but apparently works on similar principles. I probably hosed up a bit on explaining this, but some of these videos come with documentation if you look, though admittedly the documentation can be just as incomprehensible sometimes (Hence my "Even when you understand what they did it still seems like magic" remark)

Zzulu posted:Battlefield 3 poltergeists drat, I remember that beta being a glitchy mess. I was in the Metro beta, and holy poo poo. There was a point in the map you could fall into and take out everyone from underground, another one was bullets would stop in mid air and just stay there. They would lose their hit boxes so they were also harmless.

The Super Mario World TAS glitch was found by a Japanese player. The TASVideos people reverse engineered the run the Japanese player made, and figured it out. There's a "game state" in RAM somewhere, which tracks what part of the game is happening right now. Here are all the values. Through a series of glitches, they set it to '26' -- which is the "The End!" screen. They could hop to other things if they really wanted to. It's actually a really interesting technical hack involving fun things with Yoshi (null sprite glitch, game writes to various fun RAM addresses when you spit out emptiness), brown platforms (did you know that you are not actually Mario when on a moving platform?), RNG manipulation (that's what the fish bouncing are for), and actually changing the game's code at runtime (that's what all the screen scrolling is for). If someone wants me to post an in-depth explanation, I could probably post one.

Farbtoner posted:Different strokes and all, but this is exactly why I don't enjoy these kinds of speedruns. I'm curious how you'd feel about OoT RBA, then. I think it splits the line between skill and technical hacking evenly. If you think that's too much, people always play MST, which is pretty much all skill. Even in the new Gohma Wrong Warp junk, there's a bit of skill. Before that, we had Ganonless. RandomFerret posted:Yeah, you should totally post that, it sounds really interesting. univbee posted:I'd be interested, even if just by PM. Sorry, I don't have plat, so no PMs. So I guess I'll just drop the explanation here. I'm just going to drop the RAM Map here. These are all the values that SMW manipulates at runtime. If something talks about "Lunar Magic", ignore it. So, the end result of the glitch is to set 26 to Game Mode, $7E:0100. So, first up is the Null Sprite glitch. There's a good post about it here, and how to trigger it. Basically, get hit on the same frame that Yoshi sticks his tongue out. The one interesting part is that we're writing to: code:Looking in the RAM map, yes, that is used for the stack. What is the stack? It's where temporary and local storage for a subroutine is. What's a subroutine? A common piece of code that a program can use at any time. Think of it like: code:So the subroutine would reserve a bit of space in the stack, and when the subroutine is done, it would be cleaned up again. The interesting thing to note is that the stack position doesn't always have to be the same. We'll see this in a bit. So, moving platforms. Because Super Mario World, like most games, was released, there are some fairly awful dumb things that the programmers did to get it out the door. If Mario is on a moving platform, the real Mario position isn't actually used to draw Mario, as it doesn't look good. Mario needs gravity to actually affect his position, but they want Mario to look like it's nailed to the platform. So they fake it. The actual thing that draws Mario looks like this: code:In real programs, this is a huge security vulnerability called a "stack smash". Wikipedia, as usual, has a fairly complete article about it. This lets them jump to a piece of code controlled entirely by Yoshi's position on the screen. This is already getting a bit too long, so I'll post the second half involving the RNG (fish) and code manipulation (scrolling) later.

Not quite a glitch and rather just limited/bad programming, a series of videos where Luigi wins Mario Party by doing absolutely nothing (made famous by that Bumper Balls gif that always gets recaptioned)! Makes me laugh every time! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6PxRwgjzZw

I don't have a link, but there's a Chrono Trigger TAS that's exactly this. If you hammer on buttons in the menu screens at tool-level speeds, you can reach the point where you're essentially reprogramming the game from the inside. That said, it's pretty boring to actually watch, because much like that Mario TAS it basically consists of menu's flashing by really fast for minutes on end and then "FINAL BOSS! YOU WIN!"
