The '''undead glitch''' is a [[glitch]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' that allows {{b|Giga Bowser|Final Smash}}, [[Wario-Man]], [[Giga Mac]], [[Mega Charizard X]], or [[Mega Lucario]] to survive after being defeated in [[Stamina Mode]].  
The '''undead glitch''' is a [[glitch]] that allows {{b|Giga Bowser|Final Smash}}, [[Giga Mac]], [[Mega Lucario]], [[Mega Charizard X]], or [[Wario-Man]] to survive after being KO'd in [[Stamina]].


When this occurs, if Giga Bowser, Giga Mac, Mega Charizard X, or Mega Lucario's HP is depleted, their [[hit points|stamina]] gets reduced to 0 HP (zero hit points) and their transformations are undone. Then they are able to continue to fight (despite having "0 HP" displayed). Being touched by any hitbox even if it deals no damage (a [[Banana Peel]], [[F.L.U.D.D.]] from {{SSBB|Mario}}, or [[Water Gun]] from {{SSBB|Squirtle}}) or hit by a status move (such as being put [[asleep]] or using recovery items which normally recover HP like [[Food]]) gets the character KO'd. A 0 HP Bowser, Little Mac, Charizard, or Lucario can freely get another [[Smash Ball]] to trigger the glitch again.
==How to perform==
===Bowser, Little Mac, Lucario, Charizard, and Wario (SSB4)===
While playing as any of the above characters in Stamina Mode, get a [[Smash Ball]] and use their Final Smash. If their HP is depleted while transformed, they will instantly revert to their normal form with no hit points. Bowser (SSBB) can continue fighting as normal until he is hit by an attack, where he will die normally. He can even be KO'ed by non-damaging attacks such as {{SSBB|Mario}}'s [[F.L.U.D.D.]].


With the exception of Wario-Man in ''Brawl'', it's possible that an undead character can win a stamina match if they remain untouched (with 0 HP). If they defeat all of their opponents as described above, they (with zero hit points) can win a match. Upon triggering the glitch with Wario-Man in ''Brawl'', however, he loses his damage meter, and is therefore counted as having been KO'd. This also means that if the match is 1-on-1 then the match ends when Wario-Man gets KO'd. This is not the case when doing a 3-4 player VS. If Wario-Man (in ''Brawl'') defeats his opponents, the winner becomes the last opponent who was defeated by Wario-Man's attack. However, in ''Smash 4'', Wario-Man behaves like all characters.  
===Wario (SSBB)===
In Stamina Mode, with at least 2 or 3 opponents, get Wario to low HP (1 HP), then use a [[Smash Ball]] to transform into [[Wario-Man]]. Then, either eat explosive items to cause damage or fly above the screen to gain [[Hoop damage]] until Wario-Man's HP is depleted. When the transformation ends, Wario will get back up with no damage meter at all. Also, Wario-Man counts as ''dead'' before the transformation ends, thus, if another player KOs all the remaining players, the match will end. Rarely, Wario-Man will become KO'd, rather than transforming back.


With the removal of full moveset transformation [[Final Smash]]es in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the undead glitch does not occur in the game.
==Effects==
This is no different from having 1 HP in most aspects, but several normally harmless things can still KO Bowser or Wario:


==Characters that can induce the glitch==
*Getting hit by [[F.L.U.D.D.]] or fully charged [[Water Gun]]
*{{b|Giga Bowser|Final Smash}}
*[[Vacuum]] effects
*[[Mega Charizard X]]
*Step on a [[Banana Peel]]
*[[Giga Mac]]
*An uncharged [[Wario Waft]]
*[[Mega Lucario]]
*Falling asleep
*[[Wario-Man]]
*[[Isaac]]'s attack
**Note that because Wario-Man is normally invincible, he must damage himself to perform the glitch (either from [[Magnifying-Glass Damage]] and/or eating explosive items).
*Eating a healing item, such as [[Food]]
 
===Other facts===
==Trivia==
*When having performed this glitch with Bowser, one can safely break a Smash Ball again.
*When Bowser defeats all of his opponents while at 0 HP, he will win the match; Wario, however, cannot win a match with 0 HP. The victory goes to the last character surviving other than Wario.
*Use of a [[Superspicy Curry]] will result in the character eating it but without the usual effects.
*Use of a [[Superspicy Curry]] will result in the character eating it but without the usual effects.
