Gameplay Derailment: Difference between revisions

** In the DS version, if someone manages to snake after a rocket boots from the starting light and not mess up, then it's known as the prolonged rocket boost glitch, which lets players keep driving at rocket speeds as long as they kept snaking from the green light. Mario Kart Wii changed the sliding mechanic where now players had to maintain a power slide in order to charge up mini turbos instead of waggling left and right really fast. Mario Kart Wii also introduced bikes, which couldn't charge up mini turbos like karts, but popping wheelies gave a speed boost and players would slow down a lot if bumped into while using a wheelie. However, this mechanic, like snaking, was abused to the point where everyone just chose to use only bikes and would wheelie on every chance they got, generally having the upper hand over kart players.

* Pudding farming in ''[[Nethack]]''. It's simple arithmetic: [[Asteroids Monster]] + [[Randomly Drops]] = infinite items and equipment.

* ''[[Diablo]]'': Most major patches have one or two... Buriza Do Kyanon, Hammeridins, etc... Amazons particularly have a flavour-of-the-month aspect to this.

* This inevitably happens to [[MMORPG|MMORPGs]] several times over.
