The '''multiple player slot glitch''' (popularly known as the '''Ice Climbers glitch''' | {{video|Some kind of animation showing multiple of the same character moving in sync, and probably some links to video demonstrations.}} | ||
The '''multiple player slot glitch''' (popularly known as the '''Ice Climbers glitch''') is a [[glitch]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. The glitch allows for multiple player slots to be controlled by a single controller, creating an effect similar to the [[Ice Climbers]]. | |||
==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
In normal play, a given controller can only be controlling one player slot (such as P1, P2, etc.). Through an oversight on the [[character select screen]], this glitch allows a controller to control multiple different player slots. The result of this is that several "players" in a match can perform the same input at exactly the same time, due to registering inputs from the same controller | In normal play, a given controller can only be controlling one player slot (such as P1, P2, etc.).

The glitch can be performed in any mode that allows [[amiibo]] Figure Players: Smash, [[Special Smash]], or [[8-Player Smash]]. It can be performed for several controllers, allowing different sets of player slots to be controlled by different controllers. [[Team Battle]]s can also be played under the glitch's effects, allowing players to prevent their controlled player slots from hitting each other, similarly to the [[Ice Climbers]]. | The glitch can be performed in any mode that allows [[amiibo]] Figure Players: Smash, [[Special Smash]], or [[8-Player Smash]].

When a controller is disconnected on the character select screen, this normally leaves that player slot present, but open so that the next controller to enter will occupy it. However, when the controller is disconnected while the slot is set to "None", it is possible to scan an amiibo Figure Player to occupy that slot, which does not clear the game's impression that there is still a controller tied to the slot. After re-entering the character select screen by exiting the Rules screen, the game refreshes the state of the player slots, and links the controller to the slots that were occupied by the Figure Players, because they were still flagged as having a controller tied to them. | When a controller is disconnected on the character select screen, this normally leaves that player slot present, but open so that the next controller to enter will occupy it.
