Blaster Master Pause Trick (NES) - A Wild Glitch Appears! #shorts
2,223In Blaster Master for the NES, there's a very easy glitch you can exploit called the Pause Trick, and it allows you to basically instantly kill certain bosses.
All you need to do is hit the A button to launch a grenade, and when that grenade makes contact with the boss enemy, pause the game. If you did it right, the boss will continuously flash and make the "I'm getting hit" sound effect. Now all you gotta do is wait a few seconds, then unpause and the boss will be dead. You can usually tell when the boss has been defeated, because the sound effects will change slightly while the game is still paused, and this will indicate that the boss is out of HP.
This Pause Trick only works against certain bosses. Namely, Crabullus, Fred, Frozen Crabullus, and Enhanced Fred (the crabs and the frogs).
Some people call it the Pause Trick and others call it the Pause Glitch so I went back and forth on the name. https://blastermaster.fandom.com/wiki/Pause_Trick#:~:text=The%20Pause%20Trick%20is%20a,as%20the%20game%20is%20paused.
