This article or section is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it's being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible. Reason: Going to add more glithes soon

Listed below are the glitches in Kirby: Squeak Squad. Please read the Glitch Disclaimer Notes before attempting any of the glitches on this page.

List of glitches

Chest float glitch

This is a very simple glitch that allows Kirby to lock himself out of a chest in Ice Island - Stage 3. To perform this glitch, Kirby must be equipped with the Hammer ability and any other Copy Ability bubble. With his hammer in hand, Kirby must progress through the stage up until the first chest. Here, he must hit the stake, and then use a Copy Ability bubble when the appearing tiles are about to hit the chest. Performing this correctly will show the chest sinking through the floor, never to be seen again... until Kirby restarts the stage of course.

Floor detection glitch

By standing on the very edge of any semisolid 45-degree slope ledge, Kirby will quickly alternate between his falling and landing animations. This happens because the game cannot tell if Kirby is under or on top of the ledge. This glitch is easier when using Metal Kirby, since the position required to perform it is pixel-perfect.

Ice Bomb glitches

Two glitches can be performed with the Ice Bomb Copy Ability in Stage 2 of Gamble Galaxy.

In the first area with water below the floor, if the player makes Kirby drop ice bombs in a way such that every top tile of the water becomes ice, the Blippers will remain in their splashing animation upon touching the edge of the ice.

In the third area with water all around Kirby, he should throw ice bombs into the water around him to create a block. Once he produces an ice floor and ceiling, he should jump up to hit the ice celling. Then, the player should press B to hold a bomb, then float into the hole created when hitting the ceiling. Pressing B again will make Kirby throw the bomb. Doing so will teleport the bomb upwards to form an ice pillar.

Item glitch

This glitch allows Kirby to use a reserve item without it leaving his inventory. To perform the glitch, Kirby must simultaneously use his reserve item and obtain a new item. A key application of this glitch in TASes is Kirby's ability to acquire a big star in his inventory through a ? Bubble roulette. Having a big star in reserve allows Kirby to deal a large amount of damage to enemies or bosses.

Ladder glitch

This glitch allows Kirby to clip through a wall before the Gao Gao fight in Nature Notch - Stage 3. For this glitch Kirby will need either the Fire (with Ability Scroll) or Wheel abilities. Kirby must now travel to the area before the fight with Gao Gao. When using the Wheel ability, Kirby must stand at the area above and to the left of the ladder, and then jump and use wheel attack to quickly trigger the screen scroll of the fight and then back in time to climb down the ladder, catching the screen and getting it stuck. Using Fire is much harder for Kirby to perform this glitch. He must first step very carefully down into the area where Gao Gao is fought, but not far enough to trigger the screen scroll. Proceeding this, Kirby must use the buring dash attack and jump as high as possible into the air at the same time. During this, he must also hold forward as to stop the screen scroll from getting too far. With correct timing, Kirby should be able to climb down the ladder in time without triggering the boss fight.

Laser through wall glitch

By using the Laser ability in Jam Jungle - Secret, it is possible to fire lasers through a wall. Shortly afte rgoing into the secret room in the goal room, Kirby will come across a small section with sloped walls and ceilings. Firing at the floor here will cause the laser to fly up through the wall and then bounce on another invisable wall before disappearing.

Squeaks cutscene skip

In the fifth room of Prism Plains - Stage 3, Kirby will come across a large unavoidable treasure chest. Normally, collecting this chest triggers a brief cutscene in which the Squeaks appear and start chasing Kirby. However, if Kirby obtains the treasure chest in the previous room and spits it out immediately before collecting the new chest, the cutscene will be cut significantly short. This glitch is primarily used as a strategy in speedruns.

Sword Knight clip

This glitch can be performed in any stage with both Sword Knight and a 45-degree slope that ends with a wall. To perform it, the player must use Ghost Kirby to possess Sword Knight, then position him 1 or 2 blocks away from the wall before lunging into it. If done correctly, Kirby may clip into the wall.
