The '''Pause Glitch''' is a specific [[glitch]] for either [[Target Smash!!]] or [[Board the Platforms]] for ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''. By repeatedly pausing the game, one can "jam" the timer while still being able to move the character. Thus achieving impossible times such as 0'00"00 at BtT and BtP. If done flawlessly, you can have up to 2 frames for control, which can be used to move the character between pauses. Any run deliberately or accidentally abusing/using pauses to manipulate the timer should not be taken for normal nor tool assisted world record.

The Pause glitch is a glitch in Super Smash Bros. that can be used in Break the Targets! and Board the Platforms. The glitch by itself is simple: by repeatedly pausing the game, one can "jam" the timer while still being able to move their character, gaining a maximum of 2 frames to control it between the pauses if done flawlessly. Through this glitch players can more easily achieve quicker clear times or even times that are humanly impossible, such as 0'00"00. Due to being a game breaking strategy to getting a faster time, speedruns using the glitch are discouraged and are not recognized on most leaderboards.
