Hey, first post on here since 2009, but it's a doozy...

Here is a photo I captured of Super Mario Advance 2 on my GBA screen. It depicts, evidently, a White Yoshi. I can't remember what I did exactly to achieve it, but I was on a Red Yoshi in the 'Outrageous' course and got knocked off it. I went on to complete the level in that same session, but on the world map I was on a Yoshi again, this one was light blue in colour and when I moved sideways on the map, its head was missing.

I entered the 'Funky' level and this is what I saw...

I did a Google search and found absolutely no results for a White Yoshi in this game ?? So is this a weird glitch or have I stumbled across a major secret ?

Probably a graphical bug of some sort. Someone else here might be able to explain it.

Action Replay? I've been able to get a White Yoshi from using the cheat codes before... but to my knowledge, there isn't another way.

Have you ever used a Game Shark/Action Replay?

Nope, never used any sort of cheating device and I've been playing the GBA for close to 10 years now. It really did just occur at random. I still have the file saved with the White Yoshi so may provide more pictures soon.

If this sort of thing is unheard of occuring *outside* of cheating codes, then this is made all the more monumental for me. When do I collect my medal ??

I vaguely recall another FF member pointing out a graphical glitch in SMA2's Special World a few years ago.

Reminds me of how, eons ago, I found and caught a discolored Golbat in Pokémon Yellow. I was so excited because I thought I was super special. Then I forgot to save.

And then, even later, I discovered that there were no shiny pokémon until Gen 2. So now I'm convinced that I either encountered a glitch or fabricated the memory.

I haven't encountered a shiny since catching a Goldeen in Crystal.

I haven't caught a shiny since my shiny Gyarados in Silver.

:C

What power does it have when it has a shell in its mouth?

Toad · « **Reply #9 on:** November 28, 2012, 12:29:03 PM »

All of them. Simultaneously.

''Stomp'' and ''Fire'' power.

But no flying? Interesting.

Maybe this glitch is the 'GBA' version of the Chargin Chuck glitch from the original ?

Both of these involved me getting knocked off an enemy when the screen was 'chaotic' and beating the level in the same sitting. Just my theory anyway (and I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't chuffed to bits for discovering this !)

I have uploaded some more pictures:

You can see the discoloured blue tint to the Yoshi sprite on the world map.

His head disappears when you move sideways.

If you still have it after a save & quit (or even after finishing the level), and it doesn't behave exactly like a normal Yoshi that's just discolored, it sounds to me like it was probably meant to be in there but was scrapped. But The Cutting Room Floor doesn't have anything about it.
