Useful Glitches
Animationless Primary Weapon Attacks
- Alucard can do an animationless regular attack on the frame after you stop crouching.
- Grant in the JP Version can perform a similar trick with his basic knife throwing attack.
- Grant in the US Version can cancel the attack animation by grabbing onto a wall.
Animationless Sub Item Drop
Frame perfect trick to skip sub item animation. This trick can be performed the frame a character drops from a block or lands.
Double Block Hit
- This trick can be done by both Trevor and Sypha by crouching and attacking and releasing crouch mid attack animation. Works on blocks, but unfortunately does not score a double hit on enemies. Grant can perform a similar trick with short hop + stab in the US version.
Stair Misalignment
Stairs will bring you in a diagonal line to the next platform. As far as I know this was done well in the J version. In the U version you can offset the starting position and walk off the screen on some places.
- Grant/Trevor character switch can be used to misalign on stairs in 9-01, allowing him to skip the majority of 9-01.
- Sypha can misalign on stairs in 9-01 using ice on the fleemen, allowing her to skip the majority of 9-01.
- Sypha can misalign on stairs at the end of the climb in 9-03 by using ice on the fuzzies.
Wrong Warp(s)
- A wrong warp which misaligns Grant on the stairs in stage 4-01 (the marsh) allows the player to travel through a glitch world to stage A much faster than it would take to play all of those stages.

Glitches Under Investigation
Stuck Orb drop
Softlocks
Failed Wrong Warps
Grant Launching
Launching on 5-0C during Frankenstein's Monster Boss Fight will launch Grant to the top of the room and be unable to grab the orb to progress to the next level.
Stair Softlocks
There are three staircases in the game where the player loses control when using them, as the game is supposed to automatically have the player ascend up the stairs. However, it is possible to get knocked off the stairs on the first frame the player loses control, effectively causing the game to freeze by never being able to autoclimb the stairs.
