10 Video Game Mistakes (That Were Totally Intentional)

I Wanna Be the Guy may be a glorious parody of classic retro video games, yet you couldn't be blamed for assuming that the Kraidgief skip glitch was, well, a glitch.

During the three-phase boss fight, it's possible to skip the second phase entirely.

Basically, you need to hit Kraidgief 15 times in order to trigger the second phase and another 10 hits to trigger the third, but if you're lucky/skilled enough, you can blast him with 25 projectiles while he's still in his first phase.

This will cause the boss to skip his second phase and go straight to the third, albeit while still on the ground as he should be in phase two, making it much easier to keep shooting him until dead.

Basically, this is more-a-less a glitch, albeit one which developer Michael "Kayin" O'Reilly discovered during testing, and because he appreciated the accidental ingenuity of it, he decided to keep it in the final game as a secret for players to discover for themselves.
