Glitch: Flying Bowser
Start the game with one player as Zelda or Mewtwo and the other player as Bowser. Go to the bottom half of the stage, and start pounding at Bowser until he gets to about 300%. Next, have Bowser jump over Zelda or Mewtwo, and have Zelda or Mewtwo use their Smash Up [A] attack. Bowser should be taking a massive amount of damage in that smash. Then as he begins his really fast ascension to the ceiling covering the bottom part, have Bowser quickly use a Wall Recovery (press [L] or [R] just before you hit the wall). If done correctly, Bowser should be flying for about six seconds, allowing him to attack, and do anything desired. Basically Bowser is being smashed into whatever his head touches -- if you move him out of the ceiling area covering the bottom half of Hyrule temple, he will actually fly away into a death.
Glitch: Tingle does not drown
In the Termina Bay stage, when you pop Tingle's balloon he falls to the ground. Usually he is on solid ground, but occasionally he is over the turtle. Pop his balloon and he will drown, but return to life again.

Glitch: Floating Peach
Play as Peach on the Corneria stage. Go to the top of the airship, and immediately quickly press [Left] and [Right] alternately. If done correctly, Peach should float. She will do this until she dies or gets hit with an item.
Glitch: Floating Pokemon
Start a game in the Fourside stage. Pick up a Pokeball and wait for the UFO to appear. Once it appears, wait about fifteen seconds, then throw the Pokeball down onto it. When the UFO disappears, the Pokemon will be floating in mid-air.
Glitch: Toad bigger than Peach
You can make Toad (Peache's [B] move) bigger than Peach. First, either play as Peach in Giant Melee, or get a super mushroom as Peach. When someone hits you with something (for example, Doctor Mario's [B] move for the pill), Toad will grow bigger than her. Try playing Giant Melee with a super mushroom then hit Toad. He will become huge.
Glitch: Spinning Pichu
Go to training mode. Select Pichu as a training partner. Select the Yoshi's Story stage and begin. Set the Pichus on walk. Once they get on the block, push them and it will start spinning until you hit them off.
Glitch: Announcer mistakes

Bowser/Donkey Kong must be on the left platform. Mewtwo must have the red shell. Throw the red shell and use [Forward] + [B] on the red shell five times. Have Bowser/Donkey Kong drop through the platform. Use [Forward] + [B] on the red shell a sixth time. If done correctly, Bowser/Donkey Kong will be stuck to you. Make another CPU opponent and on either edge of either platform, grab the opponent that is not stuck to you and throw down. If done correctly, the opponent that was not stuck to you will be frozen. For an infinite combo, do the above then do a Shadow Ball next to the frozen opponent. This will rack up combos. Set the game speed to 2x and after you get 32767 combos with this, the consecutive hits counter will be at 900.
Glitch: Frozen game
Go to the Green Greens stage in training mode and wait for all the star boxes to fall. Destroy just the star boxes in the middle, but do not break the bottom one. Once you are standing in the center of the boxes, pause game play and choose the red shell. Lay down as many as you can, then jump straight up and fall on them. As soon as you hit them, the game should freeze. This trick also works with Bomb-boms. This glitch does not work in the Greatest Hits version of the game.
