The opposite happened once too. Where I'm like "WTF" when a glitch I expect to happen doesn't. It turns out literally ZERO wild Pokemon encounters will occur on either the Cinnabar or Seafoam coastlines in a legit Japanese Green version cart. So no Missingno or item duplication there.

Interesting. I wonder why that changed with the translation then?

I found a minor amusing glitch in Red/Blue. In the last dungeon there's a place where you walk onto a ladder and when you come into the next room you're surrounded by rocks in all directions except East. You can walk South onto the rock, for some reason. You can only move one tile, though, and you don't get stuck; you can just go back up to the ladder.

There were also those "WTF" moments playing with the Missingno glitch and finding myself up against wild Prof Oaks and Blaines with glitched Pokémon. Followed by a "WTF!!!" moment when one of them used a glitched move that erased the save file. >:[

Oh yes, and I don't know how, but I managed to get Mario stuck in a wall in Mario 64. In the castle lobby, right above the door to the next floor, some polygons form a ~45° angle. I jumped toward that and he got stuck in it, just his legs sticking out dangling. I had to reset, there was no way to get him out.

Also in Super Mario Kart, I found if you cut wide around the finish line in Koopa Beach 1, it won't register crossing it and you'll lose a lap. Mario Kart 64 has a similar glitch in Koopa Troopa Beach (surprise?) where if you're way off to the right as you approach the line, it'll suddenly say you're in 8th place, but you'll still rank properly.

There was a minor glitch in Top Gear on the SNES that I found due to bad driving at the finish line. I ran into the poles right off the edge of the track where the finish line was (they were on every track, btw), and apparently just barely passed the finish line for 1st place.

But that's not all. I bounced back off, drove through the finish line (automatically since I already finished), and also got second place, and got the points from both first (20 points) and second (15 points).

You can do that in Mario Kart 64 too, at least in VS mode. Back up across the line for your last lap to get first place. When the AI takes over they'll drive forward, turn around, cross the line again, and you get two first-place scores. I never tried it in GP mode.

Speaking of which, you can learn fun things by looking at games' code that you never would find normally. For example, if you do a fuckton of laps backward, you'll eventually finish, and in Kalimari Desert, the AI path is screwed up near the beginning of the track (but still works ). You can see that with a debug code too, you start at point 2 instead of 1, and then it goes 2, 1, 2, 3...
