==Glitches==
==Glitches==
==={{conjecturaltext|False Information}}===
===Balloon Mario tutorial skip===
After exiting the Pump Works for the first time if [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] reenter the [[Pump Works]] hit a save block before fighting the [[Scutlet]], the message that usualy appears the middle of the screen when hitting a save block will say that Bowser has the abillity to breath fire again even though the Flame Pipe will still be blocked.(This only works before fighting the Scutlet.)
After speaking with [[Dr. Toadley]], the player will see a cutscene if they return to the previous area. If the player positions himself on the left side of the entrance to [[Toadley Clinic]], then press down and then again press three times to the left, it can cause using [[Spin Jump (Mario & Luigi series)|Spin Jump]] to make Mario and Luigi go on top of the entrance. The brothers can then use Spin Jump to move to the right and catch [[Birdley]] without learning the [[Balloon Mario]] technique.<ref>Vince1919 (January 28, 2018) [https://youtu.be/-DkymHJuRbE?si=qwMiOzKzQ4S3gxOT Air Ballon Tutorial Skip].

==={{conjecturaltext|Freeze moments}}===
===Bowser punch glitch===
If players use a cheat device to get all abilities before they are supposed to have them, the game will freeze in different moments. For example, before getting the Goomba Bros. battle technique, when they say their first line, if the player is using the ball technique to go around faster, Bowser will keep rolling and the game will freeze in the next screen with the first line still in screen. Another instance of this happening is if Bowser slide punches through the rocks before eating the giant carrot. This will cause Bowser to do his speech of how cool Chippy is and the game will freeze. Also, if the player uses the ball technique at the Capi Cave Exit where Bowser meets Fawful to skip that area, in the next area Bowser will be stuck in place, with Fawful's theme music playing, and if Bowser obtains the Banzi Bill  before he learns about the plan to fire the Banzai Bill at Bowser's Castle and go's to the Cannon, Bowser will walk to a wall and will be stuck walking into the wall, making a restart needed.
The player must be Mario and Luigi inside of Bowser's Body. After saving, quitting, and re-opening the game, the player must press {{button|ds|Y}}. Instead of breathing fire, Bowser will do a punch.


==={{conjecturaltext|Frozen Battle}}===
===Bowser X corrupted graphics glitch===
This glitch is exclusive to the European version, due to bad code port. While fighting Bowser X, There is a chance that the entire screen will be filled with corrupted graphics. For now, there are two known ways for this to be activated: The first is for Bowser X to become giant on turn 21. The second is by using the medal that heals the brothers' life. Corrupted graphics are everywhere and can make using a special attack much more difficult. The glitch ends when the battle is won or lost.<ref>BroLuigi (February 20, 2010) [https://youtu.be/gkPbTi22qvY?si=fL_mK0lUfzrevm9o M&L bowsers inside story glitch]. ''Youtube''.

===Confused action icons glitch===
When the player begins the [[Mushroom Ball]] challenge in [[Toad Town]] and has the ability to tunnel underground, sometimes popping back out will cause the action icons to be in a glitched state after getting the Mushroom Ball out of the ground. This will move the action icons further up and make the game think they have or have not been switched and also frozen in place.
 
The action icons will also disappear if the player opens and closes the star menu, though they still function correctly. The player can fix this by simply entering any area.<ref>Yoshi Jr. (August 11, 2015). [https://youtu.be/mBbHh8bbhWc Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (Glitch)]. ''YouTube''.

===Frozen battle glitch===
If the player is battling Bowser X, and when he is doing the attack where he grows giant, and one of the bros is hit by the fire, then they will fall behind, and sometimes the game will freeze. The music is still playing, although it is playing the same note over and over again.

===Luigi wearing Mario's clothes glitch===
When the player goes to the blue area of the [[Flab Zone]] and jumps into the mucus and through the pipe, [[Luigi]] will oddly fall in front of [[Mario]]. Luigi will then have half green and half red sleeves and Mario's overalls. When the player jumps as Luigi, he will jump "out" of Mario.

After reloading the game, the player must press {{button|ds|X}} or {{button|ds|Y}} to make Bowser punch. He will do the slide punch animation, and after a few seconds, will hit the save block.
 
===Stuck statue glitch===
When Bowser is pushing a Statue of Fawful in Bowser's Castle, there is a glitch where Bowser will get the statue right to the wall but will be stuck. Mario and Luigi can't do the double jumps on Bowser's legs to make him push, they will only do normal jumps. Bowser's minions won't push the Statue either though, making the Statue stuck. If the player restarts the game then the glitch will be fixed and the game will go on as normal.

==={{conjecturaltext|Too Much Damage}}===
===Trapped in Pipe Yard glitch===
{{damage}}
{{damage|1}}
The game wasn't designed for 10,000 or more damage to be dealt to an enemy. If the player does this, as soon as the damage is dealt, the game will immediately freeze. Due to these effects, the game will crash.
If Bowser is bloated after eating one of the leftovers, once the [[Flab Zone]] is active, the player must go to the [[Pipe Yard]], and when they do, a glitch may occur. Mario and Luigi will keep walking, but Luigi will be stuck. The player has to reset the game after this. However, if the player (as Bowser) saves anyway after the glitch is performed, the save file will become softlocked, making the Bros. unable to progress through the Pipe Yard.


==={{conjecturaltext|Unexplainable Falling}}===
==References==
If one Bro falls off a platform into a pile of mucus, but the other Bro doesn't, the fallen Bro comes out of the pipe and inexplicably, so does the other one. This glitch is best performed in [[Toad Square]].(possibly not a glitch as it prevents the bros. from getting separated)
