Smash Bros. Glitch Turns Pac-Man Into Unstoppable Terror
By Dr. Eleanor Vance | Published on January 01, 0001
So this is scary. Pac-Man, one of the cheeriest-looking characters ever known in video games, has unlocked what looks like one of the biggest trolls moves in Smash Bros. thanks to a recently discovered glitch. Nicknamed the “trampoline stage drop” by the influential Smash forum Smashboards, the glitch makes the 
Pac’s opponent fall through through the floor of a stage. It’s like yono all app that secret trap door on the floor Mr. Burns triggers in The Simpsons every time he has someone in his office he doesn’t like (which happens a lot in The Simpsons).(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); You can see Pac-Man’s trampoline stage drop in action in this video captured by YouTuber StylesX2. As the video demonstrates, it isn’t confined to a single stage—rather, the glitch is triggered by Pac-Man himself regardless of what level he’s fighting on:
To trigger his newfound trap-door-activating ability, Pac-Man has to do is use one of his special moves (up-b), which creates a trampoline (though it really just looks like a small colored line that bounces around rubber-band style when jumped on) that Pac-Man can normally us to leap higher into the air. If an opponent steps on the trampoline, then, Pac-Man can create another one under his own feet, causing the original trampoline to disappear immediately. 
The glitch part of the equation is what happens next: after the trampoline disappears, the character standing on it will fall down as if the earth has been pulled out from under yono apk them. So it really is like a trap yono arcade door. While the trampoline door will undoubtedly be a hilarious technique to use to surprise your friends during a game, it’s hard to see a glitch this powerful being approved for use in Smash Bros. tournaments going forward. I guess 
occasional moments of instability like this are just the price we have to pay for Nintendo finally updating and adding to their current-gen Smash Bros. game at semi-regular intervals.
