List of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U glitches

This is a list of glitches in the game Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

NOTE: Unless otherwise noted, all names are conjectural.

Floating Yoshi Egg
In the Mushroom Kingdom U stage, if Yoshi loses his last stock during the stage transformation he can get stuck in a floating egg. When the stage transforms again it will disappear. The details of this glitch are still unknown.

Yoshi Egg Inside Nabbit
In the Mushroom Kingdom U stage, if Yoshi loses his last stock he can get stuck inside of Nabbit. The egg will stay inside of Nabbit until he leaves the stage. This glitch is still not fixed yet in a patch.

Bowser Jr. Teleport
This happens on the Battlefield stage. If Bowser Jr. uses his up special and gets KO'd shortly after the Junior Clown Car respawns, he will start teleporting when moving and dodging, and his moveset will be more awkward to use.

8 Players with 1 controller
This glitch works on 8 Player Smash and has Player 1 control more than one fighter at a time, from two to all eight fighters. The glitch requires 1-7 Amiibo and can be done with multiple controllers. The player should assign their controller to the first slot, then set the slot to display none. The player should desync the controller, then scan an amiibo with the gamepad. The player should sync the controller back. They will have control of the second slot. The steps can be repeated until 7 slots have amiibo and the eighth slot is occupied by the player. The player should then go to change the rules. After they exit, they will have control over multiple cursors, and can select characters from that point.

Lucas' PK Freeze Outside of the Stage
This glitch only works on Lucas when he performs PK Freeze outside of the stage. The glitch will freeze Lucas in his PK Freeze pose. This glitch was not fixed in the patch and appears in the Nintendo 3DS version as well.

Hitbox error
Sometimes there is a Hitbox error when the player is attacking another. It seems common with an example of Pikachu's up special, as the player will sometimes attack where Pikachu was about half a second ago, and Pikachu will be damaged.

Toad Counter Attack + Franklin Badge
This glitch that works on Ness and Peach. The glitch only works if Peach has equipped the Franklin Badge and uses a counter attack with Toad on Ness with the Side Smash Attack. The glitch will cause Toad to produce more spores, which can cause Ness to be KO'd with one hit. This glitch was not fixed in the patch.

"The Force" Grab
On the Town and City stage, when the player is on a moving platform and grabs another character on a different moving platform, the opponent moves away, but the player is still grabbing them. The player can still use their grab attack but they will be hitting nothing. Throwing the grabbed character, however, still works.

Coal Black Colored PK Freeze
This glitch can only be done with R.O.B. while Lucas or Ness uses PK Freeze. The player should hold Smash Attack Down before triggering the PK Freeze hit. The color of the ice will appear slightly different depending on the color palette of R.O.B. This glitch was found in the recent 1.1.2 patch and has not been fixed.

Characters with Final Smash Transformation in Victory Screen
This glitch only works on Bowser, Wario, Lucario, and Little Mac. While using their Final Smash, which causes them to transform into Giga Bowser, Wario-Man, Mega Lucario, and Giga Mac, the characters will appear during the Victory Screen despite having not won. This glitch only works by having them transform right before the end of a Time Battle. The glitch requires to have the Smash Ball broken before the Announcer says "Time". .

Different taunt
During any game when the side taunt is performed, there is a chance it will do the down taunt instead. This currently only happens on the GamePad.

Freezing quit
If the player quits the game using the Home button and chooses to return to the Wii U Menu, the text "Wii U Menu" sometimes remains on screen and the Wii U Menu never appears, forcing the player to turn off the Wii U with the power button.

Lylat Cruise Optical Illusion
Due to the way the surrounding Arwing ships are placed in the background of the Lylat Cruise stage, they can appear gigantic behind the main ship if the camera is positioned correctly, resulting in an.

Patched Glitches
As of patches, these glitches are impossible to preform.

Drifting Pac-Man (Patched in Version 1.0.1)
In a match, while playing as Pac-Man, if one pauses the match while he's charging his Side Smash, Pac-Man starts drifting in a random direction, even passing through parts of the stage. However, unpausing the match puts Pac-Man back in his position as if nothing happened.

Victory T-Pose (Patched in Version 1.1.0)
This glitch can only be performed if a player presses the Home Button when the battle is over. During the "Game" screen, for a split second, the Victory Pose will appear as a T-Pose. The 1.1.0 patch fixed the glitch by adding the No Home Menu Icon during the "Game" screen.

Diddy Kong Immune Grab (Patched in Version 1.1.2)
The player must play as Diddy Kong, and by holding the shield, when the opponent hits them, they must press up multiple times, let go of the shield button, and then allow Diddy Kong to be hit twice. This makes Diddy Kong immune from a grabbing attack (as well as being immune from other moves such Wario's Chomp, Kirby's & King Dedede's Inhale, and Yoshi's Tongue). The glitch disappears if Diddy Kong is KO'ed. This glitch first appeared in the 1.1.1 patch, but was fixed in the 1.1.2 patch.
