Pikipedia features collection of [[glitch]] articles, gathered and written by players of the games. Seeing as glitches are the consequence of unintended behavior, there are a couple of important notes that you, as a reader, should take into consideration, before attempting any of the glitches the website details. | Pikipedia features a collection of [[glitch]] articles, gathered and written by players of the games.

*Most effects of glitches are temporary, although some can cause permanent changes in varying degrees. Some glitches can permanently alter the content of one's save file, while others can cause long-lasting changes to hardware. These potential problems are detailed along with the glitches, but '''please use common sense when attempting a glitch that could potentially cause damage'''. | *Most effects of glitches are temporary, although some can cause permanent changes in varying degrees.

The explanation sections are written by members of the community who have theories on what the causes of the corresponding glitches might be, based on their own personal game development experiences. Although most of the time these are just theories, some explanations may be based on known and confirmed data, like in-game files. These explanations are not confirmed by Nintendo, unless stated otherwise, nor are they meant to be a display of superiority from their writers. Their addition to the articles are merely for trivial purposes, meant to provide an interesting insight on the internal side of the games. | The explanation sections are written by members of the community who have theories on what the causes of the corresponding glitches might be, based on their own personal game development experiences.
