A glitch involving the use of bread crumbs allows [[the player]] to reach an out-of-bounds area of the map in the original Mother. To activate the glitch, [[Ninten]] must never use bread crumbs, and then must subsequently rescue [[Pippi]]. If Pippi starts a trail of crumbs and then is delivered safely to the mayor, the player can choose to talk to her to obtain the items from her. Since each character has a separate variable for bread crumbs, and Ninten has not used them yet to set the variable, the crumbs that Pippi hands back to him lead to the default location on the map. The glitch can be canceled by using the [[List of recovery items in Mother#Bread|Bread]] in certain locations, which can be used to skip a large section of the game. If the player moves too far in any direction, the game will create large amounts of glitched blocks that Ninten cannot pass through.
