Move suggestion got no traction in over two years, and a "List of glitches" page should exist separately anyway, when this page is a general overview of what a glitch is, which is how other articles operate that include separate "List of" pages, such as meteor smashes and armor.

A '''glitch''' is an oversight in programming of a video game and how it may act in some circumstances. They alter [[gameplay]] by causing events or actions to occur that were not intended by the game's designers. The main reason for a glitch existing is that a specific situation resulting in unusual behavior was never encountered during a game's testing, so the developers were unaware there was something that needed to be fixed. For example, the [[regenerating terrain glitch]] exists because the situation of "terrain appears around character using Final Smash" was not fully tested by the developers. The more complex a game is, the more likely glitches are to exist, simply due to the increased difficulty in testing every possible situation. Glitches are different from [[exploit]]s, which involve multiple gameplay elements yielding unintended results. | A '''glitch''' is an oversight in programming of a video game and how it may act in some circumstances.
