Hi guys,

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only gamer here who has attempted (or maybe even discovered) a bug/glitch in one of their favourite video games (such as the Select trick in Mega Man, the screen warp glitch in Link's Awakening, etc.), so I wanted to ask, what is everyone's opinion on glitches here?

I find they can sometimes be game-breaking (as in that certain glitches can crash a game, forcing a reset, or even worse, restarting the game from the very beginning for some of the more serious glitches), but then again, some of them can be helpful for tool-assisted speed runs in games.

On a side note, as I mentioned above, I just happened to discover a new glitch in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels while playing it on my 3DS. In 7-2, right near the end of the level there is this red Koopa Paratroopa you have to bounce off of to get to a falling platform, and jump from that to a pipe that houses a red Piranha Plant...while playing this level as Luigi, I stomped on that Koopa Paratroopa, thinking he was going to fall off the screen. WRONG! Instead, the resulting Koopa Troopa began to walk on air to the right, where I noticed he can walk through the bricks below the pipe and continue walking on air...so yeah, that glitch was totally unexpected.

Anyway, has anyone else had unusual/unexpected experiences while playing a video game?
