Undead glitch
The undead glitch is a glitch that allows Giga Bowser, Wario-Man, Giga Mac, Mega Charizard X, or Mega Lucario to survive after being KO'd in Stamina mode if they are using a transformation-based Final Smash upon reaching zero HP. Should this occur, the character using the Final Smash will revert to their normal form and continue to be able to fight, despite having "0 HP" displayed. Being touched by any hitbox (even if it deals no damage, like a Banana Peel or F.L.U.D.D.), being hit by a status move (such as being put asleep), or doing something that normally recovers HP (such as eating Food) will KO the character.
It is possible for an undead character to win a fight if they remain untouched. However, Wario in Brawl is an exception; he loses his damage meter upon triggering the glitch and counts as being KO'd, and the match will end in his defeat even if he tries to outlast the other players. In SSB4, Wario behaves like all other characters.
Characters that can induce the glitch
- Bowser (with Giga Bowser)
- Charizard (with Mega Charizard X)
- Little Mac (with Giga Mac)
- Lucario (with Mega Lucario)
- Wario (with Wario-Man)
- Note that as Wario-Man is normally invincible, he must damage himself via hoop damage or eating explosives to trigger the glitch.
Trivia
- Use of a Superspicy Curry will result in the character eating it but without the usual effects.
