10 Classic Video Game Glitches That Allowed Us All To Cheat

5. Super Smash Bros. Melee - Master Hand

Again, this is another glitch that totally ruins a game experience. In this case you get to play as Master Hand the final boss of the game in arcade mode or vs mode. Naturally there is more than one of way of being able to play him.

Although this glitch makes the game easy on any level it comes with a cost - that is the game will end up freezing in multiple situations. Although this reduces the risk of players abusing the glitch, if you play as Master Hand you can continue to go on and use the €˜Laser Glitch€™.

In order to play as Master Hand you must use the €˜name entry glitch€™. There are two ways the player can activate this glitch:

Method one requires the player to Place the cursor of player three's controller over the name field on the character select screen. On this controller, press A and B simultaneously. Release A, but hold onto B. Scroll down to the "Name Entry" button. If you press A again at the same moment that the game attempts to go back to the menu because of the B button, the game will skip to the Stage Selection screen. Select the stage.

Method two needs the player to Use two controllers in VS. Mode. Hover one cursor over the "Back" button and the other over the "Name Entry" button in the name field. Press A simultaneously on both controllers. The game should skip to the Stage Selection screen. If the stage you selected loads up properly, you have performed method two of the Name Entry glitch with success.
