A crash refers to the game forcibly closing due to an error. Crashes are a general phenomenon with computer programs and are essentially caused by the code performing an invalid operation, such as attempting to perform an operation on a null pointer. In Super Mario Odyssey, this often translates to situations in which the game attempts to perform an action on a game object that does not exist.

Situations that trigger crashes in Super Mario Odyssey are often similar in nature to those that cause softlocks.

Examples

The following is a list of some actions that are known to trigger crashes:
