Nintendo patches Super Mario Maker invincibility glitch

No more spike exploit

Recommended Videos

Because people will literally find anything, a glitch was uncovered in Super Mario Maker that allowed players to become invincible. You can trigger the glitch by building a door above a spike pit, then power-up Mario and touch the door after hitting the spikes. Someone actually figured that out.

As of this week though the exploit has been patched by Nintendo, with a small 223MB update that takes care of it under the guise of “a more pleasant gaming experience.”
