The Simpsons Hit & Run Glitches - Son of a Glitch - Episode 53

son of a the simpsons hit and run homer and family take to the streets of Springfield in what can only be described as slightly more kid-friendly Grand Theft Auto but of course hit and run has a few entertaining glitches that make an already fun game that bit more comical so let's kick things off with a fun little glitch that launches cars as far as the eye can see it involves driving a car into a street lamp so the post is actually in the car and then stomping on it as you can see this catapults the car quite a distance and man is it fun to do simply drive into any street lamp and then once it begins to fall get out of the car for some reason this stops the street lamp from falling over as it normally would now jump back in the car and you can drive through the post which is you know completely normal when the post is positioned in the middle step out of the car wants more and stand on top of it like this now do a double jump and then press the attack button to stop now results may vary but hopefully you get an insane launch sending the car flying down the street I love glitches like this where the effects are just so amazing you just never know what you're gonna end up with I mean look at this that's art right there should put a frame on that beautiful sometimes you might even be able to ride it some of the way but without a doubt the best is when it just gets shot across the map just look at this it's insane needless to say this is going to destroy your ride at some point I should probably go get that this next glitch is another personal favorite of mine simply because of how dumb it looks this is the invisible driver glitch and it's really easy to do you'll need a car that's already driven by another character for instance the family sedan or snakes car bandit then you need to track down one of the many wasp cameras placed throughout the levels these guys shoot electric balls at you yeah I know and if you can get them to shoot the driver of the car you're in something cool happen well not if you're there but hey it's fun to watch at least now that they've been knocked out of the driver's seat the game still thinks that that character is at the wheel and so when you get back in the car you'll have an invisible driver this is the game that just keeps on giving you can now go about the world like you normally would only things look anything normal you'll still hear all the phrases that particular driver would say but they aren't anywhere to be seen naturally this looks ridiculous but what's even more so is what happens to the character when they land outside of the car like here the comic book guy just stands there doing nothing until you get in the car and then he'll bounce up and down on the spot as if he were in the car - once you begin driving around the character that's supposed to be driving will just glitch out like crazy the best example of this was when I performed this glitch with Grandpa Simpson in level seven he would just fall partway into the ground and then just clip back up again I did this glitch with a bunch of different characters just for fun here's home were looking dumber than ever if that's even possible this glitch has no practical use whatsoever but it's pretty fun nonetheless but here's a glitch that is useful during the mission the fat and the Furious you have to beat Smithers in a race which takes you all the way round level one but here's a shortcut that will guarantee you win the race before you speak to Carl to start the mission park your car in the doorway at the power plant like this now head over to Carl and begin the mission as usual you'll see Smithers race away from the power plant but head to where you parked your car it's now inside the huge door that cuts you off from going through the power plant to mr. burns mansion but you're actually still able to enter the car normally now you can just simply drive out of the door and take the shortcut to the mansion making this mission of real breeze inside the power plant you have these guys dressing their radiation suits and they only occupy this section of level one here's where we'll be using a cheat code namely the horn makes the car jump cheat to get some glitchy effects to enter the cheat pause the game head into the options hold l1 and r1 for ps2 or both the L&R triggers for the Gamecube or Xbox and then enter the cheat with the cheat active you're ready to go if you drive through the power plant eventually you'll reach the Stonecutters tunnel and here's where we can use the cheat as you drive up these small stairs in the Stonecutters hall honk the horn and the car should shoot into the air the car will hit an invisible wall and then fall back down to earth but here's where something funny can happen usually Springfield is populated with your average everyday folk but when you perform that super jump you skip a trigger for the next area to load correctly and now everybody in this area of Springfield is wearing the power plant radiation suits it kind of looks like they've been invaded by aliens in some weird 50s b-movie should I be worried about this what are these guys know that I don't another interesting side effect of this glitch is that the music from the stonecutter Hall is still playing even though we're nowhere near the place and the further out you drive eventually the game will load in the correct NPC's as it should do moving on here's another slightly more useful glitch to do with street racers during a street race there are no cars on the road making it easy to get from point A to point B but there's a glitch that can get this no traffic property to cross over into general free roaming or more importantly in missions enter a street race whether it be a checkpoint race with Ralph or a time trial with Milhouse complete the time trial or checkpoint race as you normally would and then at the end Patty and Selma will speak to you here we want to skip that small cutscene by mashing the jump button and keep doing this until you see Homer or the character you're playing as jumping then as you return to normal gameplay quickly press Start to enter the pause menu as quickly as possible now you can go to mission select and choose a mission when the game loads up again you'll now see there are no cars on the road whatsoever what's happened is the game still thinks we're in a street race and the search keeps the roads clear and this effect can now be carried over into a normal mission so to demonstrate this let's do a time trial race with Milhouse and set up the glitch once more okay now the game thinks we're still in a race let's use a mission where the traffic can be particularly unhealthy hmm let's see no set to kill no no this mission is the worst but with the no traffic glitch it actually becomes a bit more bearable it is still ridiculous though you mean to tell me 50 seconds is enough time to get from here all the way to here you got to be kidding me well I guess having no traffic on the road does help a ton this glitch can also be carried from mission to Mission if you perform the same steps once the mission ends jumping and then entering a pause menu and then selecting a mission very useful indeed here are some random miscellaneous glitches that I experienced throughout the game during the mission flowers by Irene the truck that you have to follow can sometimes get not little of course if this happens you're in for a show of some of the worst AI driving you've ever seen in your life it took a good long time for the game to finally get the truck back on the right path again man I've seen some things in my time but boy is this dumb for some reason in level seven if you stand on top of the swing sets and then interact with them even when they've collapsed the hitbox remains active and you'll just be standing in the air now this is only strange because in levels 1 & 4 when you do the same thing you fall to the ground with them very odd maybe even a little bit spooky well I guess level 7 is Halloween themed so in level 2 when you reach the train yard get on top of this train in particular again for some reason the sloped side on top of this train isn't solid and so Bart's able to run around inside it I guess of programmer took the day off when they made these in one of Marge's missions I had to take out one of these buzz Cola trucks usually they end up in a big explosion but not this one the mission is over but this truck didn't get memo when it goes off the screen for a split second it's gone seriously what goes on in this game I don't even know what this is I was just stuck and finally let's have a little out-of-bounds fun with the game and there's plenty of ways to do that one of the easiest ways is to go to Springfield Elementary and at the back is a huge sign yep you're not seeing things you can just go inside the wall but the real fun is when you double jump underneath the sign for some reason you fall through the floor and land underneath the map out of bounds it's just really odd that this happens but it's not the only place you can get out of bounce so easily in level 7 head to the power plant and make sure you have a car with a decent amount of speed if you drive full speed at this wall you'll simply drive straight through it and arrive out-of-bounds here I was hoping it would create a shortcut in one of the last missions where you have to get this radioactive waste to blow up the UFO but there are so many invisible walls out of bounds that stop you from getting close even though you can see the UFO right there so close there are other ways to get out of bounds but we'll be needing the cheap from earlier to make the car jump you might also want to use an invincible car cheat - as there are a lot of invisible walls you'll crash into and your car blowing up is just gonna kill the fun once you have the horn to jump cheat active for the broken bridge that leads to the other side of town now simply drive down to the small River and then use the horn jump to get over the void that places you back on dry land there's no void point set out here as you're never able to reach this far out without cheats so you're able to get out of bounds and drive around you can drive around under the map but there are a ton of invisible walls that prevent you from just driving back into the level from out here of course you're also able to get out of the cart and run around but make sure you don't double jump as for some reason you'll fall forever to get things back to normal just select a mission and things will be back to how they should be you're also able to do a similar thing in levels 3 & 6 get onto the big ship by the sea and use the horn to jump cheek to make it past the lighthouse and land in what's supposed to be the sea hey check it out flying boats sadly there's never too much to do once outside the maps but there is one more interesting thing I think's pretty cool with in level 1 4 & 7 whilst out of bounds the only thing is in order to explore this you're going to need a hundred percent of the game completed then we'll need an additional cheat on top of the ones we already have active the unlock or cars cheat which only works once you've finished a hundred percent of the game those of you who have explored the levels to the fullest will know about the secret hidden cars in each level one in particular the RC car has a small hitbox which makes it great for getting out of bounds with a little help from the cheats but it's only in level 7 which is why we need the unlock all cars cheat to get the RC car in level 1 finish the game 100% and then into the options menu from the title screen now enter the unlock all cars cheat and you'll hear a horn sound to let you know it's working and then resume the game on your 100% completed file when you get back into the game head for a phone booth and then press r1 for the ps2 or just the R trigger for the Gamecube or Xbox this will open up a submenu from which you can select the RC car okay so now we have the RC car in level 1 and we have the horn to jump cheat along with the invincible Kart sheet we're ready to go from the Simpson house drive toward the end of the street and then honk the horn to jump this fence other cars aren't able to get out of bounds here which is why we needed the RC car and its small hitbox if we head to the right you'll see something in the distance keep driving that way and you'll soon notice that it's the Simpsons living room floating out about you can now see what you weren't able to before from the fixed camera and it's really cool to see the house broken down like this to give the illusion of a real space within the world the outside is just a textured plane and the Flanders house is a picket fence and a blocked chimney the room has its own collision which prevents you from driving into it but I just love how it looks like the set of a sitcom it's so meta you can also see some of the other characters out here like Lisa or Appu and driving into them sends them flying I have no idea why the cool thing about this out-of-bounds Simpson house stuff is it exists in levels four and seven as well more interestingly in level seven you don't even need to have the all cars cheat for level seven as the RC car is already available in that level so you just need the horn to jump cheat to get out of bounds in level seven you can also see Bart's room model as well which is strange as Bart's room is also in level four as well but not viewable out of bounds again you won't be able to drive inside Bart's room but it's really cool to see it like this all in all this is a great out-of-bounds glitch that really shows the inner workings of the game the kind of thing that interests me about glitches in the first place but there you have it go and explore Springfield in a
