'''The Earthquake Glitch''' refers to a [[Glitch|glitch]] performed by Kirby using his down special move, [[Stone]]. The glitch will cause the shock waves from Stone to spread out over and over very rapidly. The glitch is performed on sloped surfaces, but not all such slopes can be used for the glitch(In [[Stage Builder]] stages, the glitch can only be activated on the edge of a right-facing slope. It is possible to use Stone on the slope, slide to the edge, and then activate the glitch. The glitch does not eliminate the time limit for using Stone, so it cannot be continued infinitely. However, the player can simply initiate it again.

==How to Perform==
This glitch can be performed on the stage [[PictoChat]], where it is often known as "Pictopounding". The Kirby player must go to the right side of the main platform where there is a slope, then use the down special move. Kirby will transform and appear to repeatedly "land" on the edge of the platform, making constant shockwaves and causing the screen to shake. He will remain like this for the duration of the move. This does not work on the left side of the stage; instead, he will simply slide off the edge and fall normally.
