The Hidden Kill Switch in Super Mario Bros 2 (NES) - A Wild Glitch Appears!
8,400In Super Mario Bros. 2 for the Nintendo Entertainment System, you can pause the game, then press UP, A, and B on the second controller. Doing this will cause your character to instantly lose a life, and you will restart from the last checkpoint.
This trick might be useful in situations where you have gotten stock or otherwise softlocked. However, there's also a fun an interesting glitch you can explore with this mechanic.
If you pause the game while inside a rocket ship and input UP, A, B on controller 2 BEFORE the rocket ship transitions into the next screen, your character will die and lose all of his health, but you will still have control of that character. In other words, you will be dead AND alive! Kind of like how depression feels!
In this state, if you manage to collect a Heart, your life will refill, but your character will not change size. If you collect enough hearts, however, you can completely reverse this condition and the game will go back to normal.
I learned this trick from a cool guy on YouTube named @itsgruz who makes cool videos - https://youtube.com/shorts/HahXJcVmqCM?si=nbCrPOkYmRmyIUGq
