Working Title: Good Bad Bugs: From YKTTW

Put all the Zelda examples together under one heading. Also added some more info about Missingno, because Missingno is awesome.


Marz3: As this is the opposite of Game Breaking Bugs, why not sort the entries into similar folders?.
Ninacrat:
  • Correction: it allows you go straight to them. This glitch actually allowed you to go almost ANYWHERE in the game, including places like the Pal Park or Hall of Origin (don't try the latter though; we don't know how to get out of it safely yet), and even what could be called "dummy" locations. Unfortunately, performing it wrong can cause you to get stuck forever and force you to start a new game (trust me, I know from personal experience. To whoever replaced this sentence with third-person, stop).
someone is catastrophically missing the point of a wiki.

I've removed

  • Super Smash Bros Melee has "wavedashing," a glitch/oversight involving dodging that can multiply one's speed many times. So popular that it warped the tournament metagame.

since wavedashing isn't a bug (it's even named by the betatesters in the debug menu), but more of a physics engine quirk.


Heroic Jay: Removed the following concerning Final Fantasy VI:

  • This troper thought it wasn't actually fixed, and that the official position of the developers was that it's not a bug, but numerous enemies (including almost all bosses) were made immune to clear in the remakes.

This has one single grain of truth, but is otherwise false. Phunbaba (and as far as This Troper is aware, ONLY Phunbaba) was made immune to the Vanish spell (but, oddly, not the status itself) in the Playstation version of FF 6 because he was particularly glitchy when Doomed. The Game Boy Advance version of the game (which was what the above was in response to) simply fixed the bug.


Prfnoff: In splitting out The Missingno, I removed this quote, because it's not only lame but Older Than They Think:
"It's not a bug, it's a feature."
Nedry, Jurassic Park (novel)


Bulldozer Begins: I added the Door-Clone glitch example to The Sims 2. It's one of the few actual Good bugs I've found in that game.
