List of bugs and glitches in Super Smash Flash

Glitch is the term applied to something strange happening in a video game. They are caused by programming errors within the game's coding.

When glitches happen, either something unusual will happen or the screen will freeze and sometimes some random pixels and object tiles appear on screen. Some glitches are caused by damaged games. Some only activate when the player presses a certain sequence of input commands (pressing buttons). Other glitches can actually create new levels occasionally made randomly and haphazardly, and others allow players to guide their character off-screen, sometimes granting them access to other glitch-like areas (usually composed of many garbled symbols) and even unused parts of stages.

Below is a list of glitches found in Super Smash Flash and Super Smash Flash 2.

Glitches in Super Smash Flash
Since Super Smash Flash was made using Macromedia Flash a lot of glitches exists in the game, here is a recompilation of them, if you know one and is not in here, please add it,:

Skip glitch
Possibly, the most infamous glitch in Super Smash Flash. It is found in the Classic Mode, the Adventure Mode and the All-Star Mode, it can be used in two ways: one by right-clicking the mouse showing the help bar or the other most easier by pressing Ctrl along with an arrow key. The first has the multiple options, in there, the forward and rewind option, in the case of the second is by pressing Ctrl+Right. If forward is clicked or Ctrl+Right is pressed while is in some of this game modes, the computer will past the player to the next level, however this glitch don't works on Break the Targets Bonus it restarts the level if this is done, or could also lead to another glitch called the Night glitch (see below), this is because it doesn't has a previewed screen that need to be click. Clicking rewind or pressing Ctrl+Left will pass the player to the past level or well through the downloading screen. The following glitches involves the Skip glitch:

Night glitch
This glitch could only be found in Target Test, the player has to finish the target test of the character he chose, inmediately after the announcer says "Game!" or "New Record!" the screen will be completely in a dark purple tone, then the player has to use the Skip glitch method: right-clicking to show the help bar and later choose the option rewind or well, by pressing Crtl+Right so the level will restart. Now the Target Test will have a purple tone sky.

Cloud's fast-unlock glitch
Exists a glitch that makes easier the way to unlock Cloud instead of the habitual way by completing 100-Man Melee. You have to unlock Burly Brawl Melee and set a match with any character, once the match begun use the Skip glitch method and it will sent you intantly to the Warning! Challenger Approaching screen of Cloud. This glitch is endless so you can do it the times you want and still have Cloud in your roster. Much funnier is that you can do it even with Cloud so that means he's unlocking himself again.

Endless All-Star glitch
If the Skip glitch is used in the All-Star Mode at least once, the player will be "condemned to pass the eternity" in the All-Star Mode fighting always the final opponent(s) utill he quits the mode, get a Game Over or close the SSF's window.

Hands glitch
There is a glitch while fighting Master Hand and/or Crazy Hand, when they attack the player and then he pauses the match, both Hand's animation attack will continue but the player won't take any damage, also if the player takes off the pause after a Hand was totally defeated and destroyed, the death animation of the Hands will be visible again.

Final Destination glitch
Only found in the EXE version. For unknown reasons the supposed unlockable stage Final Destination is available in Vs. and training mode when the player unlocks Jigglypuff, however this glitch isn't present in the Newgrounds version an dissapears once the player close the game.

Items glitches
Exists numerous glitches relationated with items:

Falling item glitch
If a player throws an item and pause the game, the item will fall straight downward and won't hit anyone, only, obviously, if an opponent was near to him or even the same player if he threw a bomb item and remove the pause while the explosion animation was still seen.

Dissapearing items glitch
All the items also will dissapear from the stage in certain periods of the game, but that's not the glitch, the glitch is that items will dissapear even if the game is paused.

Screwy items glitch
In Training mode, genearate first a single item whatever and later pick it up. Continuously generate other items of the same Kind as you want to hold until your item flashes.

Here are the effects:
 * Beam Sword: Everytime you press attack, you hit yourself with the saber and gain damage.
 * Bob-omb: You throw it, you hit yourself. Boom.
 * Fan: Everytime you press attack, you hit yourself with the fan and gain damage. Furthermore, after the fan is used up, you cannot attack at all, except for the down attack, as the game still thinks you have an item.
 * Flipper: You can throw the flipper over and over again by pressing attack continuously. If you are using a flipper, it follows your eyesight and you can move the flipper by moving your character.
 * Fire Flower: Everytime you press attack, you flame yourself and gain damage. Furthermore, after the flower is used up, you cannot attack at all, except for the down attack, as the game still thinks you have an item.
 * Green Shell:You can throw shells over and over again by pressing attack continuously. If you are using a shell, it follows your eyesight and you can move the shell by moving your character. Also, everytime you use a shell, you hit yourself and take damage.
 * Heart Container: You can hold and use it, but it will have no effect. If a CPU player runs into it, he will use it and recover health. After, you cannot attack except for the down attack.
 * Home-Run Bat: Everytime you press attack, you hit yourself with the bat and gain damage.
 * Maximum Tomato: Same effect as Heart Container.
 * Motion-Sensor Bomb: It follows your eyesight and you can move the bomb by moving your character. It will fly in an exact straight horizontal line, and once thrown, you cannot attack, except for the down attack.

Suspended animation items glitch
Go to Training and generate as many bob-ombs as possible on top of your opponent then attack hime with a Melee item, eg. Saber, Home-run bat. If done correctly, the bob-ombs will explode and the item you attacked with will be suspended in midair and rendered unusable. A funny thing you can do after that is to put your opponent below the item, set the pause and later remove it, now you will see how the item acts at its own a will hit the player once time per pause removed; repeat this process as you want until the item dissapears.

Mega damage glitch
This glitch works in training mode with either an explosive item, Bob-omb or Motion-Sensor Bomb. With the case of Bob-omb, the first player should run setting at the same time many Bob-ombs in chain as possible around the CPU second player living a large part with more bombs. The CPU player should be located a part of the bomb chain so a thrown bomb won't touch him and hurt him, then the other player must grab a bomb and throw it, as said before, without hitting the other player. With the case of Motion-Sensor Bomb, create countless these bombs. Throw all of them together at the same spot. Do not move until you have thrown all of the bombs. Then, set your training mode opponent to human. Move him or yourself to the bombs. If you or your opponent survived, you will not be able to use any moves at all. In both cases the bombs will explode in chain dealing a damage to the CPU player or the same player of more than 1000% but offering no knockback. Any weak or strong hit will KO the player.

Newgrounds glitch
Only found in the EXE version. A glitch proves that the EXE version is really the Newgrounds version, only with modifications. The player has to reduce the size of the window widely in the game's title screen. Then he will see the Newgrounds logo mark that appears in the Newgrounds version of Super Smash Flash; this mark could be also clicked leading to the Newgrounds homepage.
