March 7th, 2009 | Hacking, MOTHER 3, Videos
I finally got around to putting together a video of a bunch of weird and funny glitches that happened during the MOTHER 3 fan translation’s development. Actually, I bet Jeff has a whole bunch of videos of his own, these ones are just the ones I recorded.
I wasn’t able to fit everything into the video, since YouTube has that 10 minute limit, but it’s a good chunk of the interesting stuff. This video acts as a complement to this archive of images from the project’s development. It took a good 15 or so months, but we managed to fix all that craziness we ran into 😛

20 Comments to MOTHER 3 Translation Glitches

In the middle of that last glitch, I could fainty make out something about Needles. If only the text wasn’t so faded…
Also, it would be cool if you could glitch-free play the game in that inverted way. Too bad the glitch worsens with every map change.

Man, if I tried hacking a game and that happened to me, I’d give up.

A fun way of making games glitch is opening the rom files in a text editor and deleting random lines as you play. In fact, you can do this with all programs! Make your browser glitch!

Ow, I had probably get my eyes checked after that.

Yeah, the crib glitch was terrific. It took me a while to spot — I was like, so, we’re looking at cribs. And then I noticed it and had a Matrix moment. Pretty cool. 🙂

@4:16 did stuff really buzz and twitch like that? Because I seriously shat some bricks.

I feel with you. (I’m on the german “team”, if you can call it a team) Even changing one pixel to something else that takes up more memory space than the old pixel can seriously funk up the whole area map. I wouldn’t want to know how many glitches of that kind you’ve seen in your time.

Wow. Nice job fixing everything, tho; the only minor glitch I saw in the released vresion was it sometimes referred to “The Boney” or “The Duster”

lol at victory text #2
With the glitchy background and music it was like Giygas joined the battle

Ha, those sprite problems started happening to me when I was fooling around in PK Hack. (With EB, I mean.) Trying to increase the size of a group of overworld sprites just messed up the whole thing.

“The Duster” and “The Kumatora” fight against the Oh So (Oshoe) Snake!
 | Mato said on Mar. 12, 2009 |
It still surprises me how so many people can misspell Osohe as “Oshoe” 😯

| Claus said on Mar. 12, 2009 |
Imagine if it was released like that.

OMG the return of Giygas!
I knew those Shrooms were up to something!
