Super Mario Bros. (NES)

Scale Lift glitch-fest

You can cause lots of chaos by simply breaking off Scale Lift platforms. A great area for this is World 4-3. At the first Scale Lift, ride the left platform down until it breaks off. Jump to safety, then quickly move to the right, jumping to the Elevator Lifts. Sometimes Mario will encounter invisible platforms around the Scale Lift, either hitting his head on the bottom of one or running into the side of one. That is the most annoying part of this glitch, because it almost certainly results in death as your jumping trajectory is changed drastically, causing Mario to fall down the pit. If you happen to avoid the invisible platforms, moving quickly to the right will often mess up the Red Koopa Troopa on the next mushroom platform. Sometimes he will get stuck inside the platform, but usually he will end up walking off of it onto thin air. You can cause even more chaos by keeping the gravity-defying Koopa on the screen as you break more platforms off and quickly move ahead. If you're lucky, an Elevator Lift might drop down a pit, or you might see Scale Lifts break off on their own and fall to the bottom of the screen (screenshot 3).
