Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is a fantastic game - we said so, so it must be true - but that doesn't mean that it comes without its faults. When we say "faults", though, we actually mean glitches, and some of these turn out to be rather hilarious indeed.
YouTube channel A+Start has shared a new video which demonstrates a good handful of glitches that can be performed within the game. You can do all of these yourself at home should you have the patience, perhaps as little party tricks to show off in front of your friends over the holidays.
There are eight glitches presented in total, starting with some minor oddities which alter characters' appearances in funny ways, and finishing with Isabelle's infinite Assist Trophy glitch (which can rather ironically spawn infinite Waluigis) and the game-crashing glitch which we've reported on previously. If you're interested, make sure to check out the video below.
Have you stumbled across any glitches in the game yourself? Will you be trying to perform some of these over the holidays? Let us know how you've been getting on with the game in the comments.

Blimey this game is broken. However, unlike Fallout 76, this is the fun kind of broken.
Killiger kills even games. No one is safe.
seeing infinite waluigis take revenge by beating my fighter to absolute death...is amazing. Best glitch ever!
At least they're good old fashioned fun glitches
The infinite Assist Trophy glitch is even better than melee's Black Hole glitch, lol.
I didn't realize that villagers net was capable of committing such atrocities.
Chicken Charizard 😂
I hope Nintendo doesn’t patch the infinite assist glitch. It’s too much fun.
These are the fun kind of glitches that make games more appealing.
I miss the times when if someone said a game had a glitch, these were what they were meaning. Not like today where most glitches are game breaking and permanently screw your save file.
@IHateTombs And unlike Fallout 76, the special edition didn’t replace the steelbook with a nylon bag.
Are these glitches a one in a million chance of seeing? I know things often get blown out of proportion, so I don't want to jump on the bandwagon too quickly, but... It sounds like this game wasn't given the obsessive quality control that Nintendo is famous for. I think it's funny that people are comparing it to Fallout 76. SSB has funny glitches that will probably soon be patched. 76 has glitches on top of bad game design. A patch won't fix bad design.
@TheFanatic The worst thing about that is how cheap canvas bags are in bulk. Literally less than 2 USD per bag, in the quantities they're talking about. Which shouldn't be a problem, for a 200 USD collectors edition. But they cheaped out even harder on the bags, going for nylon which costs almost nothing, looks like garbage, and rips the moment you actually put something into it.
@Regpuppy Makes sense really, they were selling bin bags to put the game itself in.
@TheFanatic I mean, you say that. But said 200 USD collector's edition didn't come with a physical copy to throw away. It came with a game case, a digital code, and a cardboard cutout as a stand-in disc in the case. Lol
@Regpuppy At this point the best part of Bethesda is iD Software, and considering we had Fallout 3 a decade ago that’s a high point to fall from.
@TheFox Yeah, it's weird to me when people call this game buggy. I haven't run into any, but I guess I'm not actively looking for them. It feels like most of these bugs are obscure enough where they won't happen, unless you're actively trying to find them, or just some rare freak accident.
@TheFanatic It worries me that iD Software is attached to them. Unlike their parent company, they've been remarkably competent.
@Regpuppy At least they’re treated better then Rare.
Not game destorying glitches, like everyone else these are fun silly glitches that'll more likely going to have a laugh at.
Remember Stake 3 glitches!!
If it's Sonic it's HOTE GARBAGE , but if it's SMASH it's COOl & PHUN.
@AlienX Yes, because most of these gliches are funny things you can accomplish in training mode. The others are extremely rare to see in a normal game session.
The glitches in Sonic games are mostly catastrophic and destroy everything.
@Kalmaro no one is safe from the murderous villager.
Can anyone out there cause two Assist Trophy glitches at the same time? Like, via a team battle? lol
@Sebas Sonic games are built terrible, yes. Though I've personally never encountered the "destroy everything" type while doing a normal play session.
They probably patched most of these already with the latest patch
@TheFox "It sounds like this game wasn't given the obsessive quality control that Nintendo is famous for."
I don't think this is too much cause for concern. With how many characters, items, AT and Pokemon, stages, modes, etc. there are, the shear amount of things to play test in this game is absolutely massive I'm sure. Every Smash game always ships with quite a few glitches, but none of then are ever very likely to show up in a match. This game has been tested enough that the things we're finding are the kind of things you're only going to find once millions of people start playing the game.
The villager is the exorcist he takes over their body.
Still more stable than most of the Chip Hawlay (thank you, Jim Sterling, I'll never be able to read AAA any other way from now on) releases that are usually seen on what's, contrary to their brokenness, more powerful hardware.
Case in point:
Makes me laugh.
If this had been a third party game then Nintendo life would be ripping it to pieces !!!!!
Lol lol lol.
@Woosh193
See above.
The villager-one is the best (where he wears the King rool suit).
@Kalmaro How fitting it should be with King K. Rool....
To me Glitches are what's make a game fun and game fun of laughs unless it kill the running game. But Glitches are a mainstay of games nowadays regardless of console it's how they patch or update to fix that makes a game the game.
Considering the amount of hours I sunk into the game, I’m impressed that the game is relatively glitch and bug free. The online mode also works 10 times better than WiiU and consider I’m playing Smash in China in a province reported to have one of the slowest average internet speeds. Very little lags or hiccups when playing a match. Honestly one of the best and seamless online experiences of any game out there.
😂 The game is huge so it can happen. Anyway I meet no glitch, and the game is absolutely great
