10 Video Game Glitches That Turned Into Features
7. Jumping - Crazy Taxi 2
Crazy Taxi is a franchise known for its speedy and chaotic action. The sequel, Crazy Taxi II, introduced a few new mechanics to make the experience of speeding and crashing on your way to the next objective even more action-packed.
One of these mechanics was jumping, which was actually already present in the original Crazy Taxi game, except back then it wasn't official.
See, Crazy Taxi had a glitch which allowed the player to bounce and jump with their car by repeatedly switching between the gears. When done before going down a hill, it would allow you to get some extra air and watch as the taxi would fly down in style.
The glitch was not only fun but super useful, as it was a good way to break records. For example, in the Crazy Jump challenge, if the player were to switch the gears and cause the car to bounce at just the right moment, the glitch would allow them to break the record for the longest jump with a ridiculously high total.
