The Pause glitch is a glitch in Super Smash Bros. that can be used in Break the Targets! and Board the Platforms. By rapidly pressing the start button to pause the game, the in-game timer can get "jammed" and never count down while the character can still be moved, gaining a maximum of 2 frames of movement between the pauses with frame perfect execution. Through this glitch, players can easily achieve quicker clear times or even times that are humanly impossible, such as 0'00"00. Due to being a game breaking strategy to getting a faster time, speedruns using the glitch are discouraged and are not recognized on most leaderboards.
