List of Mario & Luigi: Dream Team glitches

This is a list of glitches occurring in the game, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team.

Freezing
Freezing occurs in the game on certain occasions, but mainly toward the end of the game in Neo-Bowser Castle, where the Mario and Luigi find themselves at idle animations and not being able to do anything. This appears in all original versions of the game, but a patch was released on September 5, 2013 fixing many of these issues.

When battling Antasma X, it is possible that the game will freeze when Dreamy Luigi is freed from a Antasma Munchie X.

Broken Motion Controls Glitch
In some points in the game involving gyroscope controls, it is possible the game stops registering any gyro movement altogether. This can cause the battle to become impossible to win because it is impossible to avoid damage. This is most likely to occur in the Zeekeeper battle with Giant Luigi in Somnom Woods. During the Zeekeeper battle, the game is slow or inaccurate at registering all motion controls, which makes it extremely hard if not impossible to dodge attacks.

Corrupted Save File
It is possible that the game will display a black screen with a message saying that the save data has been corrupted when the player loads it up. This will force them to start over the whole game. Something similar also happens when selecting a new save file, after selecting a file, the screen goes black and freezes, taking the player to the Home Menu. These only happen on the digital version.

Luigi Standing on Lava
The player needs to go to Neo Bowser Castle, in the sections with the moving, fire breathing Bowser statues. If the player uses the Side Drill move in the area where the Bros. Ball is needed and cross the moving statues, Mario will land on the platform, but Luigi will land in the lava and stand there without jumping out
