Cartridge tilting is an action performed on cartridge-based systems to create otherwise impossible glitches.

Cartridge tilting is not a glitch, but rather the process which creates glitches.

This can only be done on any NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Leap Pad, Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, or Game Boy series consoles. Most other consoles uses CDs/DVDs and thus cannot perform these glitches.

Description Edit

In the middle of the game, slowly and surely wiggle the cartridge and move it from side to side. If you do it too slow, nothing will happen, and doing it too fast will disconnect the game. Eventually, the cartridge will enter a state where its not fully connected to the console but not completely disconnected. Thus, enough information from the cartridge is blocked to glitch up the game, but not enough to make it freeze, crash, or otherwise error out.

Warnings Edit

Doing this can cause some games to corrupt or erase their save data.

Doing this can ruin your cartridge and possibly damage hardware.

Doing this can freeze, hang (permanently freeze), or crash your game. This will also glitch your sounds and can even be loud.

Doing this can wake the neighbors.

Doing this also can cause short circuits.
