Editing Glitches in Kirby Super Star

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Glitches in ''Kirby Super Star''}}{{image|some images could be nice}}
Listed below are the glitches in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''. Please read the [[WiKirby:Glitch Disclaimer Notes|Glitch Disclaimer Notes]] before attempting any of the glitches on this page.

==List of glitches==
===0% 0% 0% (Save Corruption Glitch, Japanese Version only)===
In the Japanese cartridge version only, all three save files have uncommon chances to get corrupted and become the starting 0% state, possibly due to the fragility of the graphics chips.<ref name=jp>[https://kirby.fandom.com/ja/wiki/0%25_0%25_0%25 0% 0% 0% on Kirby Wikia JP]</ref> This makes it the most infamous glitch of this game in Japan, commonly written as '''0% 0% 0%''' in the Japanese community. The 0% 0% 0% glitch was mentioned during a live-streamed interview with the [[HAL Laboratory]] developers around the time of the [[Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert]] as a 0% 0% 0% save select screen was shown prominently during the concert's ''Kirby Super Star'' medley, with [[Shinya Kumazaki]] recalling discussions during the development of ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'' on whether the remake should include this glitch in some way.<ref name="niconico">[https://archive.org/details/kirby25thniconicointerview Kirby 25th Anniversary livestream interview]</ref>
In addition to the cartridge glitch, the player can even manually corrupt the save files in both the Japanese cartridge version and the Japanese [[Virtual Console]] versions as follows:<ref name=jp/>
#Kirby should obtain the [[Sleep]] ability in [[Milky Way Wishes]].
#While [[Kirby]] is sleeping, the player should leave the stage while holding the L and R buttons.
#Kirby should enter the [[Galactic Nova]]. After the cutscene involving [[Marx]], Kirby should enter the [[Galactic Nova Nucleus|Heart of Nova]] stage.
#The game will freeze right after Kirby enters the Heart of Nova stage. The player should then reset the game.
#After the game is reset, all three save files will become corrupted and show 0% completion.

The 0% 0% 0% glitch is parodied in Episode 2 of the anime ''[[wikipedia:Pop Team Epic|Pop Team Epic]]'', with a parodied ''Kirby Super Star'' file select screen in 0% 0% 0%, and the narrator (presumably Pipimi) shouting "Zero percent!" three times in a row (in Part B, Pipimi is voiced by [[wikipedia:Shigeru Chiba|Shigeru Chiba]], who interestingly also voiced [[Hyness]] in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'').

===Elevator Clipping===
[[File:KSS Elevator Clip.gif|thumb|Kirby clips through the elevator]]
While riding an elevator with the [[Sword]] ability, if an attack is performed while the elevator is moving, Kirby may fall through the elevator.

===Marx Battle Teleportation===
If [[Kirby]] and the [[Helper]] are using the [[Hammer]] and/or [[Parasol]] abilities, there is a very slim chance of randomly teleporting to a glitched [[Marx]] battle. Winning this battle will still count as beating [[Milky Way Wishes]], even if it has not yet been unlocked.

This glitch can still be performed if the helper does not have the Parasol/Hammer ability, but it is much less likely.

===Pressing Up & Down Simultaneously===
These glitches are almost impossible to perform on real consoles due to the requirement of pressing ↑ and ↓ simultaneously, but is commonly abused in tool-assisted speedrun (TAS) performances only in the initial Japanese version of the game. Later revisions fixed them by treating ↑ and ↓ at the same time as no input.

====Fire/Jet Warp====
For the [[Fire]] ability, when using the Burning Attack, the player can press ↑ and ↓ simultaneously to make Fire Kirby move <u>down</u> at a very fast speed, capable of warping through walls and platforms (or even dropping into [[bottomless pit]]s if the player wishes to save time in certain scenarios).

For the [[Jet]] ability, when using Jet Headbutt or Jet Cracker, the player can press ↑ and ↓ simultaneously to make Jet Kirby move <u>up</u> at a very fast speed, capable of warping through walls, platforms and ceilings.

====Plasma Instant Charge====
For the [[Plasma]] ability, pressing ↑ and ↓ simultaneously will result in a max charge instantly.

====Ladders====
[[File:KSS Ladder Glitch.gif|thumb|Demonstration of the Ladder glitch]]
Climbing and descending from a [[ladder]] at the same time confuses the game greatly. While most of the time it causes a game crash, various other effects can occur, such as accessing the debug menu,<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF1YvqvFZBs this is apparently a thing that can happen] - YouTube</ref> or triggering the final cutscene of [[Milky Way Wishes]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfcLyggUmys <nowiki>[TAS] Kirby Super Star "game end glitch" in 00:23.03 by Masterjun</nowiki>] - YouTube</ref> Making more inputs during the glitch may cause additional effects.

===Scarfy inhale===
If [[Wing]] Kirby uses the Toss attack on a [[Scarfy]] and quickly gets rid of his [[Copy Ability]], he is able to inhale the Scarfy while it's stunned, allowing him to get the [[Crash]] ability without using [[Copy]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/HardSonicStorm/status/1735282095541395545 Kirby inhaling a Scarfy]</ref> [[Glitches in Kirby Super Star Ultra#Scarfy inhale|This glitch]] is also present in ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''.

===Silent inhale===
This glitch occurs if Kirby inhales an enemy or Star Block, then spits it out, then inhales again quickly after. If done correctly, Kirby's inhaling will be silent. The glitch ends a few seconds after it is performed.

===Ultra Jet Jump/Super Jump to OHKO Mid-Bosses===
The [[Jet]] ability's Ultra Jet Jump attack as well as the "super [[jump]]" (any player jumps by stepping on the other ally) can defeat any [[Mid-Boss]] in one hit. Since Mid-Bosses spawn from the air in this game, they can be OHKO'd by this glitch before even landing.

===Wall glue===
While the [[Wing]] ability can help Kirby overcome and outfly the strong winds of [[Halfmoon]], if he touches the left side of a wall, he will become unable to move away from it horizontally, even with Wing's strong flight. If Kirby manages to free himself from the wall by taking damage from embedded zappers or goes past the edge of the wall, normal behavior is resumed.

===Wheel Roll on Wall===
To perform this glitch, [[Kirby]] must acquire the [[Wheel]] ability. As Kirby, dash slowly by holding the '''Y''' then '''A''' button at the same time, then roll into a wall. If done correctly, Kirby should not crash into the wall, becoming invincible and dealing continuous chip [[damage]] to any enemy on contact.

===[[Wheelie Rider]] sprite glitch===
[[File:KSS Wheelie Rider Bad Sprite.gif|thumb|Demonstration of the Wheelie Rider sprite glitch]]
After defeating [[Meta Knight]] in [[Revenge of Meta Knight]], if the player creates a [[Helper]] from their current ability during the fade to black, the [[Wheelie]] Kirby lands on may have the sprite of the helper the player tried to summon, or a sprite that is simply a mishmash of other sprite fragments. The glitch is fixed after Kirby rides off screen.
