Glitches in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - DPadGamer

[@mitchellbrown4454]

Hearing Cackletta's theme during the game over screen is one of the funniest things I've experienced all week. And the slowed down version of the theme playing during a black screen is even funnier

[@Stavvy0]

One of my favorite games growing up. That double Luigi had me POP off lol

[@YanntastischGER]

I actually remember getting the Bowsletta Softlock as a kid. I found it cool lookin'. I loved playing around with the final boss because I found an OP strat, so I played it often enough to randomly find the glitch.

[@metaloverlord99]

DPadGamer: "I had the barrel break out ability on Mario, used it, and then I had two Luigis". Me: "This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them!"

[@KonroMan]

A glitch I found is when fighting the Koopalings is that when you reach Larry after the tennis sectio you can actually jump just high enough to reach the platform he’s on with Luigi and then initiate the battle, however when the battle started I was Mario for some reason… I don’t know if it’s possible to do with just Mario, but if anyone is able to then that’s a pretty cool achievement. :)

[@Oceane1803]

I'm surprised you didn't mention the Popple and Birdo glitch. It's similar to Jojora's friend glitch in the way it works. If you kill an enemy with the burn effect, some weird stuff can happen. Since Jojora left the screen, you're left with an invisible enemy that can't do anything and the game crashes. However, if you don't counter Jojora, they'll act like their friend is still there, and if they make an attack involving their friend, it'll reappear for the attack and just stand there not able to do anything outside of these attacks. If you defeat Jojora after that, the fight still ends as usual. And as I mentioned earlier, this also works with the Popple and Birdo fight. It actually hapened to me on my first (proper) playthrough not so long ago. Kill Popple with the burn effect, and Birdo will still make the attack where she hides Popple in an egg. Once you've taken him out of the Egg, he will just stand there, and just like with Jojora, the fight will be over once Birdo's defeated. I know all that because I researched it after it happened to me, and the Mario Wiki, that I went on for research on this glitch, called the inactive sprite a "Ghost Sprite". And I made a funny little story with Popple and Rookie with this. So the two stole something and are running away, as they're being chased by many people. Like cops, or a crowd... Suddenly, Popple stop and says "Rookie, you have to burn me with your fire, see ?" Rookie is reluctant but does it, and Popple faints. Rookie grabs him and prepares to continue running away, but he notices that right where Popple was standing before he grabbed him, there's now another Popple. A Ghost sprite/Shadow clone if you will. Popple, still very weak, opens his eyes and says "This is why they call me the Shadow Thief, see ? Now let's get out of here, it'll distract them !" I think it's a funny little story.

I really wish you could play the entire game as Luigi & Luigi. Great video as always, DPad!

[@Potato7]

Hello there, I am one of the main Tool Assisted Speedrunners of Superstar Saga. I just want to thank you so much for making this video and showcasing some of the major glitches in this game. This game is very busted, even if it doesn't seem like it at first glance. There are a whole bunch more glitches, most of which you can find on mugg1991's channel (he is also a TASer of this game who found most of the glitches). If you want to see some fast runs of this game using those glitches I highly recommend you check out the Any% TAS and All Bosses TAS of this game.

[@TheLegoNation]

This game is epic

[@kellywenn3489]

It is

[@cyanamespace]

it’s the second best gba rpg to me

[@ItzNooben]

3:50 ngl this glitch is kinda cool

[@Oceane1803]

I'm clearly gonna try that barrel glitch, it seems incredible. It's the kind of game breaking glitch that I love. It can do very useful stuff but very dumb stuff as well, and I like that.

[@LilyTheSmol]

Rpgs and softlocks, name a more iconic duo... Wait a second...

[@agentomecha634]

The editing in this video is top notch. This was a really fun watch overall. While I haven’t played the original GBA game, I have played the 3DS remake and I overall like Superstar Saga. It’s not my favorite game in the M&L series, it’s still a great game.

[@randomistough0]

0:30 thats not what I got when I looked up "mario inflation" but yeah sure, that works I guess

[@Vlyg11]

🤨

[@ashtonwilaby]

I experienced that "bringing music to other areas" glitch by accident. I was hella confused.

[@ruckisrookie]

7:34 Nah not Superstar Saga, that's Dream Team

[@arabidllama]

Oh heck yeah, I'm glad you got a chance to play this. The first Superstar Saga is just so charming! It used the GBA so well, too.

[@JohnSmith-dy6sb]

Dying to Bowletta as soon as her HP drops to 0 is not the only way to trigger that softlock; it can also be done by doing the 5000 damage glitch and letting a Bro level up in that same encounter, whilist inputing perfectly to let the screen fade to black before the Time Bob-omb shows up and knock the Bros. out.

[@nin10doadict]

Another glitch you can try in boss battles is damage overflow. Bosses in this game actually all have a fixed amount of HP (I think it's 5,000). They do this so they can run scripts when their HP gets low enough to handle what should happen when they are defeated. This means if you do over 5,000 damage in one move to a boss, you can prevent the "boss is defeated" scripts from running properly. Depending on the boss, this can have all sorts of janky effects. The easiest way to do this is with Mush Badges and Knockback Bros Advance.

[@Bryce_the_Woomy_Boi]

Guessing it being added to switch online helped with the video

[@DPadGamer]

I didn't actually record any footage on the switch version aside from the clip I shared about Jojora, but yeah without it being added I wouldn't have bother playing it

[@saltocorto]

Another interesting glitch in the us version, is that if you can deal over 5000 damage to most of the bosses or specially scripted enemies, they will actually die (normally taking them down runs a script or special animation to kill them) which usually breaks or softlocks the game since it is unable to complete the fight as intended. This isn't normally possible bc the fight usually ends much before that, but can be done with the advanced hammer bro attacks because they are infinite if performed correctly.

[@vundesheart8835]

The editing in this video was so good lmao, I was absolutely dying over both the parts you put screaming over 😂 I'm so surprised there was so many glitches in this game I've never seen before! All I really knew much about was the barrel glitches thanks to speed runs, which is an absolutely fascinating glitch in of itself. Thank you for making this video!

[@rpgman161]

While playing the game, I found a relatively useless glitch, but it doesn’t crash the game In Castle Town, there are two holes next to where you enter a green pipe, and I wanted to see what would happen if Luigi jumps around Mini-Mario, what happened was that Luigi started leading with Mini-Mario behind (normally impossible) which means that the animation of Luigi hitting Mario to return to normal never happens To fix it, just use Luigi Dunk, Mario will somehow regain normal size after that (Btw, you can do this anywhere where you can make Mario into Mini, but Castle Town was where I got it consistently)

[@carterferris07]

I will mention two glitches that are very helpful and can easily be done casually 1. Red Pepper glitch This glitch can work with badges that give you a POW up stat, but it’s mainly used for Red Peppers. If you give a red pepper to any bro, then have that bro faint, and then revived, that bro will then have a permanent POW up for the rest of the fight. Honestly don’t know why it happens but it does Thunder Bros Glitch. When using regular Thunder Bros if you purposely mess up the action command and pressed B once, and then nothing else. The attack will actually will bring the enemies defense to 0. It’s weird why it happens but essentially when doing all action commands, the enemy defense goes down to 33% of its normal defense when hitting 2 out of 3, it’s goes down to a quarter of its defense, and doing just one goes down to 0

[@fiercelonk8641]

If you’re gonna look at more m&l games, check out bowser’s inside story next. All the fans (i’m pretty sure) agree it’s the best in the series and i’m certain there’s a ton to cover

[@DPadGamer]

Will do!

[@jamespennington6428]

If you do a pixel perfect jump near mini Mario then he will join with you without Luigi automatically hammering him. Hit Luigi into the ground twice and then swap after jumping out of the hole, if you spin the game crashes and high jumping sideways will crash too

[@bigyoutubefan7291]

4:51 I encountered this by accident as well

[@JazzTheLass]

i was actually watching a tas of this game recently and was wondering what the glitchy barrel glitch was about!

[@HatInLime]

4:50 this happened to while streaming the game to a friend and it freaked me the **** out- I tried to select an attack but the target was listed as a bunch of commas kinda like ,,,,,,, and after selecting the attack the game froze with a loud electronic screech kinda- The loud sound mighta been from mGBA, which I was playing on. Regardless, I was totally jumpscared- Thanks for documenting this, it was spoopy enough my mind immediately went to 'creepypasta' even though I knew that was ridiculous. Nice to know it's just a game glitch ;alskdfj

[@Sordorack]

Whats "man door hand hook car door" at 4:50? O.o

[@DPadGamer]

Its a quote from the world's best creepypasta. If you google it, it should be easy to find.

[@Sordorack]

@@DPadGamer aah okay, thank you - it was great seeing you come back to such a classic game :D

[@altabiscuit]

Thanks for the shoutout. I'd recommend checking out Murmilio's videos for more glitches since they are more up to date and you can see them in action in the speedruns.

[@daydreamies]

the legend says: "the girl doesn't do it and then after a while she goes to sleep. the next morning she wakes up and finds her boyfriend still not there. she gets out to check and man door hand hook car door" but, what do i know?

[@DE23]

I was hoping for a few glitches for the remake but this was still a great video

[@cadegaming6306]

I completely forgot about this channel existed, I love this channel I'm so sorry

[@DPadGamer]

No worries, I haven't been as active as I should for.. quite a while. Thanks for watching :)

[@sebastianjones5188]

He’s the only KZbin now that still puts out glitch video’s so thank you❤️

[@soapyporpoise72]

Been wanting this for so long

[@vegito1087]

Bruhhh i remember doing that music glitch alot!!!

[@tedtiger7774]

Is the sign glitch some kind of primitive ACE? Because that's kinda what it sounds like it might be...

[@DPadGamer]

By definition, i don't *think* so, as you're not really making the game run any code, but it does feel like it.

[@GlitchCityMissingNo]

wow i havent been here in a long while, glad to see you doing alright dpad! :D

[@Subway-enthusiast]

I was starting to think i was the only one who knew the jojora glitch

[@tofalosgamer9947]

[@ThatOneLegendEmerald]

Never played the original, only played the remake and therefore don't see the need to play a now-inferior way to play the game. Sad that I never got the chance to do this version.

[@James2210]

now-inferior 🤡

[@WannabeMarysue]

Please tell me you're just trendsurfing and you didn't first play this on the Switch. GBA emulation is so easy, come on dude.

[@DPadGamer]

I played this for the first time on the switch. Is there something wrong with that?

[@coleminer8847]

The amount of times I’ve unlocked advanced bouce bros on Hoohooros, im surprised i never got that glitch
