At the bridge connecting Goomba Road and Toad Town, there is a glitch in which Parakarry can disappear for a couple of seconds. First, the player must walk down the staircase, then spin towards a corner with a bush. If this is done correctly, Parakarry should disappear for one or two seconds.

Herringway can be morphed into a normal Bumpty or become invisible if the player pauses the game right after Mario and Herringway go into the mayor's room and right before initiating the conversation with the detective during Chapter 7. If invisible, he will reappear when the room is left. If Herringway becomes a normal Bumpty, the game will freeze when the mayor gives him the present. Upon freezing, a debug screen will appear.

In the Chapter 6 Event concerning the Intermission, a Koopatrol Sprite Landing was not made. If the player times the parasol right when the Koopatrol spots Peach, she becomes a Koopatrol, but they still treat her as Peach. This also works on a Hammer Bro. in the library.

If Watt uses her Electro Shock on an enemy and it fails to do any damage, she will not have any lightning bolts eminating from her. This has been tested on fake Magikoopa clones and Bowser under the influence of the Star Rod.

At some random points, Monstar's Starstorm attack does nothing at all.

It's possible to get off the screen, it can be by small passageways, or a glitching Trampoline. The easiest one of them can be done at Mario and Luigi's home, in the secret basement. The player must set Kooper as their partner, stand behind the Trampoline,and hold the control stick down while dashing with C▼. After that, Mario will jump to the normal floor of his house, then immediatly under the secret basement. Mario will then again appear behind the spring board.

In Shiver City or Starborn Valley, the player should go into the Toad House and take a nap. After the nap, the player should pause the game. The Shiver Region Toad should then become a normal Toad. This does not affect anything within the game.

Mario can be stuck in his talking pose after the character starts talking. If the player starts talking as Mario is going up onto a ledge, Mario will be moving while the character is talking. If the player goes up onto the ledge, Mario will go back to normal after going back down, but if the player stays down, none of the controls will work and the game will have to be reset. This works best in Kooper's house in Koopa Village.

When Mario attacks Bowser the first time, if the player uses a cheat or hack to make Mario's attack power at least 2, after Bowser turns invincible, once Mario attacks, Bowser will take damage but then the game will crash. This is probably because Bowser was supposed to talk, but the script was never written. Also, if the player used a cheat or hack to give Mario a hammer or Star Spirits, the player cannot use them. This seems normal, except for the fact that the previous cheat was not accounted for.
