Nintendo gives a round-up of classic moments
Some of these Super Mario Bros. glitches will be familiar to experienced gamers, but some might reveal hitherto unknown secrets about the little plumber's big adventure.
Witness a tiny Mario using the Fire Flower, Koopa Troopas walking in mid-air and plenty of other little oddities that may shed new light on a title we all know inside and out.

Are they including the glitches in the 25th anniversary game? Because that'd be pretty sweet if they did.
How nice. I was just about to look for my Gameboy and play a version of Super Mario Bros with it.
I only knew about the 99 lives trick but the others are totally new. Missing the minus world though.
I demand the minus world glitch to be shown.
I've never seen many of these glitches before. Nice
I've heard of the Minus World trick, and I have tried to do it (after seeing how to do it online), but to no avail.
haha how did you get him to jump? thats a glitch!
jk but anyways, cool that nintendo refers to the lives trick so much, especially in the new games.
Minus world better be in this game RIP NL Minus World
There's an infinite lives trick? I never knew that!
i never managed to slide through the wall for world zero/minus world. Man how i tried
That was pretty neat.
I'm pretty sure you can't do the Minus world glitch in the VC version.
@Kid_A Yes, you can do it. I have the VC version and have done it in there
Cool glitches, I've never seen any of them before.
@Dragoon: Seconded. I had almost succumbed to that myth myself after trying over and over and over again before i found a video of someone doing it on YouTube -- it's easier to do after you've watched someone else do it successfully. Nailed it on my first try after watching that, lol.
Hahaha, Mini Mario.
I wonder if you can go through th rest of the game like that.
mmmmm...might have to find out.
Do these glitches work on VC too?
iIts missing the best one....im not sure where but Gametrailers has a video where they jumped over the flag
@14 Maybe they purposefully left out the ones that force you to die or restart.
Interesting. I knew about the vine walking glitch that one works on the NA version as well as SMA version. ALso knew of the world 4-2 wall walk one too as well as the 100 levels trick. Other than those 3 I have never even seen the other ones.
Well if I had been able to watch the video I am sure it would have been good.
Mario Hacks!
i've never seen them before, they were great!
playing mini fire mario makes the game so much easier. especially the water worlds.
Unless generally noted online, most VCs are the original game/rom images, & thus have all their glitches/tricks/etc. The VC version of SMB is as the exact cart.
I'm surprised they didn't show the Minus World glitch or the "Sliding Fire Mario" glitch. (Hold the A and B Buttons as Fire Mario when you first enter a stage or after you exit a Pipe. This will cause Mario to move in a suspended animation that makes him look like he is sliding. This glitch only lasts five seconds, though. Mario will eventually return to his normal walking animation.)
Wow, Aside from the infinite life trick (which i've never successfully done), I have never heard of the other glitches before. The funniest in my opinion was the little fire mario.
