(→WarioWare: Get It Together!: Changed information about only Penny being able to get stuck in certain microgames. I tested both microgames with characters such as Orbulon and Ashley and they can also get stuck.) |

An '''unwinnable state''' (also called a '''softlock''') is when a level or a whole game is still technically playable but is impossible to complete because a technique or an object needed to progress has become inaccessible to the player, the player character is trapped with no means of escape, or a script fails to trigger. Unwinnable situations are usually the result of a [[glitch]] or of players going out of their way to trap themselves; they can also be intentional on the part of the game designers, although there are little to no instances of this in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise. | An '''unwinnable state''' (also called a '''softlock''') is when a level or a whole game is still technically playable but is impossible to complete because a technique or an object needed to progress has become inaccessible to the player, the player character is trapped with no means of escape, or a script fails to trigger.
