As a result of a Youtube rabbit hole, I stumbled upon a glitch in Zelda where you can get in Ganondorfs castle as Young Link in OoT. It's a massive faff and you've got to do some things absolutely perfectly to get it but it's bloody fascinating.
Got me thinking about what some of the other truly brilliant game glitches are, share them here folks.

Do bugs count? The Assassin's Creed: Unity missing faces thing has to be a thing of beauty.

Dark Souls II - When you parry an enemies attack, dodge and attack in a very specific way it's possible to fly through certain sections of the game skipping a vast majority of the in-game content.
Donkey Kong 64 - Maybe one of the most broken games on the N64, which comes as no surprise since Nintendo had to package extra RAM for reasons they still can't figure out. Basically you can jump through walls and float in the air skipping you straight to the final fight of the game. You can also use the technique to skip having to pay the banana toll to fight bosses' among a litany of other glitches.

I don't really have a favorite game glitch but one that I encountered recently tripped me out was the last boss battle in Ecco The Dolphin. I'm surprised to read a lot of reviewers of the game say how much it creeped them out almost like a survival horror game. I actually never really got that feeling from the game until I played the last boss battle, which I had to use the cheat code for invincibility because the final stage before the boss fight was damn near impossible for me. The boss is a creepy ass looking alien looking like something from HR Giger artwork or the Alien movies and the sounds it makes and the way it moves kinda creeped me out. What gave me the heebie geebies was the way the game glitches out because of the invincibility cheat code. Normally the alien would suck you into his mouth and chew you up and you would have to go back a level to work your way back. When the alien sucks you into his mouth with the invincibility cheat the screen just turns red and scrolls and distorts in the weirdest way and it just goes on and on, you can still move around a little bit but you can't really do anything, you have to reset the game(or go back to your last save state like what I did). Just a weird little glitch that kinda weirded me out a little bit.

Skyrim has by far some of the most enjoyable glitches of all time. Bethesda will actually leave them in the game if they think they are funny.
-Placing baskets over shopkeeper's heads and robbing them -Getting punted into orbit by giants -Mammoth walking around in mid-air. -Dead dragons falling out of the sky. -Meridia dropping you out of the sky during her quest(they did fix this one, but it was pretty damn funny)
Those are just off the top of my head.

Back when the creator of WWE games didn't think people could handle freedom to put logos anywhere their use to have a crotch blur. Which hurt making characters a lot since most wrestlers have designs on their trunks either on the front or the back. And there was a glitch that let you bypass that.

I watch a lot of speedruns and all of them exploit glitches. Some small, some large. The majority of glitches are out of bounds glitches, where the character is able to "clip" through the wall in a clever way and walk out of bounds to skip a ton of content. Those glitches are kinda boring, although the execution may require skill. Modifying the game's memory content while playing the game itself is an insane glitch that requires both phenomenal gameplay skill and a ton of research to figure out how to maniplate the memory to do something useful. The most famous cases of these are Super Mario World and Pokemon 1st gen. There's a good video explanation of the Mario one below for the interested. And here it is in action, used to complete the game in about six minutes: However, this is not my favourite glitch. That would have to be killing Kefka in one hit with Possess: Why is this so good? Well, Possess is not something you should be able to do with normal party members. The possess command is only available to ghosts. Ghosts can temporarily join your party in the ghost train dungeon, about a quarter into the game. It requires a lot of effort and cool glitch exploitation to be able to transfer that ability to Gogo (an optional character you cannot get until much later than the ghost train) and carry it through to the final boss battle. Details here: lparchive.org/Breaking-Final-Fantasy-VI/ (you need to read parts 1 through 4 to get to the possession bit).

I have no idea what this game is but there are some fun shark glitches. Best one is at the end.

More of an assumed bug/glitch but for years on NBA 2K I could steal the ball every time against the CPU's point guard if he was in a certain position. Had to know which dribble movement to look for after they stopped driving up the court. Worked even with players who's perimeter def/steal rating was garbage.
I also couldn't have been the only one stubbornly ascending mountains on Skyrim and somehow finding vulnerable spots to jump up and land on. Ironically I probably spent just as much time doing that as it would have taken to just walk around them.

All released within a couple of days. Absolutely glorious. Madden is nothing new but this Saints Row reboot? Chef's kiss.

Not sure what else is going to beat it. I am sure WWE2K had some good stuff, MAYBE AEW's game is the potential sleeper pick of glitchfest of 2022.

Oh man the apologists for Cyberpunk 2077 dickrode that game hard. Me “Yeah it crashed every 6 minutes on me, especially when driving. It sucks” “It’s still a great game though! The story, the graphics the..”
