Now I saw a similar thread on the SG forum, so I'd thought that a SSF version would be helpful. Here's the link to a thread I made earlier discussing a glitch I found on my Wii U copy of SSF://forum.darkspyro.net/spyro/viewposts.php?topic=100931
I guess this would be helpful in spreading awareness for lesser-known glitches, so feel free to post glitches you saw in any version of SSF, even the Wii and 3DS ones.
Edit: I'm hoping we could get this stickied.
Edit #2: Please make sure to state the version of SSF you're using when posting a new glitch, so we won't have to ask later.

In the 3ds version, the bounce challenges can lock your jump and force you to restart the level if you jump onto another platform in a certain way.

Well, I found this awesome glitch in Tower of Time! You get to look at characters up-close.
You know that small area right before you return a gear to the Tower? Do not go to the Tower, instead go towards the way facing the camera and go to the left corner. Keep on walking and then you should eventually go through the invisible wall. Walk forward and you'll get access to the Central Plaza on the main island, but at a lower camera angle, one that you can get close too. All characters can do this except the Giants, because of their size, you can however pay as the Giants after the give has been preformed.

Dont know if this happens with every chompy pod, but if you are using Camo, and you create a melon fountain near some of them, like the ones in the Chompy bonus mission, you are able to move them without damaging them. It's quite funny, eve if compleately useless...

I've had this one twice: I've gotten stuck behind an invisible wall in the Undead Gate in Cascade Glade. With Grim Creeper, both times. In the same spot. It actually happened in the run I recently started. Thankfully, that was easily fixed by putting a Giant on the Portal, since they're larger they'll spawn back to a normal spot. It's kind of funny. Wish I could figure out how to replicate it, but I don't really know how I did it.
The first time I played Motleyville, after opening one of the chests, for some reason my Skylander was falling into a black void. It forced me to restart the level. I have no idea what caused this glitch and it hasn't happened again. I've had the Angry Angry Plants glitch once, too. Also, the 3DS game has a nasty glitch where if you've been playing for a couple of hours it can lock up your console. Not crash the game, it'll actually lock up the console- it'll freeze, and you have to hold the power button to shut down your console. There doesn't seem to be an immediate ill side effect to it, but I can't imagine that it's good for your console. It's happened to me four times now: twice in Samurai Springs, once when I was trying to access the Hats menu, and most recently at the end of the final boss battle when Moneybones was using his ultimate attack. I don't know what causes it, it seems to be really random. The only consistent thing which seemed to be happening was that whenever the glitch occurred it was always after I'd been playing for a couple of hours. It's really put me off of playing the game which is a shame as I enjoyed using it for levelling(it's better than replaying Anrgy Angry Plants over and over, at least). Don't have anyone left to level up anyway, though...

That reminds me, if your at Cascade Glade's undead zone and have killed all the enemies, if your careful enough, you can box to the front of the throne then jump on to the box, then you can jump onto the Throne. If you try to get behind the Throne, you will fall into the Fire Zone. You can get out of it if you have a fire Skylander and if you do, you will see the first area of the level in a different camera angle.

Speaking of different camera angles, I forgot! I've had a glitch where Woodburrow was stuck at a different camera angle. It's happened twice now. If I went to a different area the camera changed but the glitchy camera in the main area didn't. I think I fixed it by going into the Cheiftess' hollow but the second time that didn't work and it stayed broken. I think both times I was using Night Shift. I think the glitch has something to do with one of the training dummies at the top of the yard as it happened after I attacked them.
Here are some old pics of it. In a couple you can actually see how the game stops rendering different areas when you go between them. (You can even see a bit of this when walking to the yard normally, if you pay attention to the grass.)

@ItalianGamer I doubt patching the 3DS game is high on their priority list, considering they haven't patched any of the console games, and n-Space is probably busy developing the 3DS version of Sky4 anyway. So I don't think so. Not sure how long you have to play for it to happen.
Kinda wish you could adjust the camera in the game(at least switch it to a few different preset angles), because the camera glitch actually makes the game look really neat. Heh. Just their way of bypassing tech limitations I guess. Also, sometimes (on console) Sprocket gets stuck building her turret forever. It hasn't happened to me on Story mode yet, as far as I recall, but it's happened to me a couple of times on battle mode(on Rampart Ruins and Frozen Outpost). Also on the 3DS version: Series 2 (Blizzard) Chill has a glitch that renders her Wow Pow useless. It works fine in the hub world- where it's essentially useless anyway, go figure- but if you try to use it in a level Chill will be stuck summoning ice blocks forever. Doesn't matter if you get hit or anything. She'll just be in the same stance and cannot be moved.

Playing Tower of Time I managed to be outside the "raising" ring platform when it closed and went up. I was left standing on the edge somehow.
If I fell I re-appeared back on that ledge and the platform was gone. No way to get up again. I had to quit and re-start. |

Well, I consider bugs and glitches to be similar to each other (a.k.a. programming errors in a piece of software), but I bet Sonic '06 had its fair share of bugs, I guess. SSF Wii probably has about as many glitches/bugs as Sonic '06, but I'm doubtful as i've never played either Sonic '06 or SSF Wii.

A very odd glitch just happened to me while I was doing time attack in Kaos' Fortress on the Wii U version. I was playing as LC and while I was battling some enemies, I inexplicably went through the floor. as I was falling, the background didn't lose its detail, but after I fell for a while, the game was generous enough to teleport me back to the floor. It's a shame I didn't snap a pic of it via Miiverse. Another glitch that happened before that was one in Mudwater hollow, where one time Snagglescale was invisible, but I didn't get a pic of that. One I did get a pic of was a glitch similar to the invisible Snagglescale one, but the raft was the invisible thing instead of Snagglescale.

I remember falling through the board boundary into the game "netherworld" on the first level in one of those bumble bee rooms. Haven't duplicated it since. Details beneath were raw and basic as you'd expect. In this case I had to reset.
I've also been stuck in some game areas, but here the game accounts for it by "resetting" the character into a space where you can move. I think this was kinda a "catch all" coding technique where they test movement and if they decide you can't they "fix it" in real time.

All those who say the Wii is glitch-ridden - I have never suffered a glitch in it. When the patch was released for most consoles, I think they may have added an update to all Wii discs produced after, and I didn't buy my Wii version until a week before Christmas, so therefore missed most glitches.

The funny thing with the Wii's glitches are that they do not effect everyone. Some people can barely play while others never have the fist glitch. It seems to be hardware based with a strong consideration of how much memory your system has available to it, though to be honest we don't play our Wii's version enough (I picked up someone's dark force starter and it happened to be for the Wii) so my experiences with it should not be considered normal usage.

Honestly, the glitches I've came across in this game haven't been too major, but if you're referring to the freezing, well then I also got mine before Christmas, around December 12, so if it's true that a patched version of the game was released, then I must not have gotten one. You are right that it seems to be hit or miss with the Wii version. What's funny is that for the first couple of months I played the game I never had a freeze, now my game seems to be freezing periodically. Although SSA actually froze once too when I played it recently, so maybe there's something up with my Wii. It is 5 years old and has been modded, so.

I know of a cousin that might have bought SSF for the Wii, and if that's the case and they suffer major glitches in SSF Wii, I'll probably have to tell them to get the Xbox 360 version (Since I know they have one.) and return the Wii version to the store they got it in. I got the Wii U version. It sounds like that little "U" makes a world of difference for SSF, doesn't it?

I was playing Fantasm Forest (PS3), and when I got to the bit where you find the first rocket shooter trolls, the game went REALLY laggy and after a few seconds, the whole screen went green. I was using Blizzard Chill, I took her off the portal to see if anything happened, but nothing. I had to restart my PS3.

I think it was around Halloween when Activision claimed that they pushed out a server side hotfix to resolve the issue. I have tried to see if this is actually true, but I still had freezing. The game actually hasn't froze the last few times I've played it, but don't know if it's either just luck or if it was actually fixed. Oh, I just remembered, here's another weird glitch I encountered; I was playing Motleyville with LC Eruptor, and entered the mini Power Pod in the level to get an upgrade. After it loaded up, suddenly an extremely loud static sound started playing over the music. I had to actually turn down the music volume in the game, it was so loud. I think after I switched to another character though, it stopped. :/

I am on the Wii U and every time I use Series 2 Prism Break I can only use his Wow Pow a few times before he just does an infinite beam and you can only make hit stop by jumping. As soon as you press the primary attack he infinite beams again and his Wow Pow is no longer useable. I can recreate it every time and the only fix seems to be restarting or changing locations. Kinda cool kinda weird.

Here's another glitch I just encountered on my Wii U version: when I was doing score mode on Kaos' Fortress, a little while after I did a bounce zone with , the bounce zone music was playing in the main level. I tried doing a climb zone with , but that didn't help much, as the bounce zone music still played even after doing the climb zone and getting the gems. Not sure why it happens, though.
Update: After I talked to Softpaw at one point after the glitch above occurred, the music went silent after my character put on the sheep disguise. very odd. Update #2: The music returned to normal after i got sent into the "Super Duper Guardpost" area. Update #3: When I was in the same level and mode as described above, I inexplicably fell to the goo pit below the "Super Duper Guardpost" area, and for some reason, the game wouldn't teleport me back to the floor I was on, and I'm probably going to have to restart the level. Update #4: I shouldn't worry about disc scratches, because when I looked at my Wii U SSF disc, it was in pristine condition, so any glitches I have aren't likely to be due to a scratched disc.

On PS3, on the VERY FIRST LEVEL, right before you complete it and get to woodburrow, theres a behive under a swap zone if you jump down. When your inside and greebles are shooting at you, if you fall off (i was using ,) instead of respawning, your character is stuck at the hive floor, with no way up. I had to restart the level. ;-;

Me and my sister where playing on the Wii version (in Tower of Time level) my sister was playing Flashwing and she accidentally fell off a cliff. I continued walking forward 'cause I knew she would be placed back on the ground. A enemy introduction video started and in the middle of it Flashwing popped out of no where and was just standing there. She was smaller then the enemies and I think one enemy went through her.

I've mentioned it before I think but I've had problems with Hot Dog and his flame wave attack in Fire gate in one of the earlier levels. It was before Motley Vile and I can't remember which version, but it was definitely a Sony console so either PS3 or PS4
Also been experiencing numerous hiccups with some Skylanders, i.e., the game tells me they're level 11 with x experience when I've only just taken them out of the package. Such an experience happened with Stink Bomb; I have captured a few other glitches on ps4 but I'll have to go digging through my capture library to find them. One major glitch with the ps4 that people have been telling me about (I manage a trophy guide thread on another forum) that they have been unable to get the 'online' trophy in Woodburrow. Every time they walk over to the sign post the trophy never pops up, rendering achieving the platinum trophy impossible. One other thing I've noticed, and I'm not sure if it is glitch-related, but whenever I'm using the Vita as a second controller (for PS4), the connection (wireless, using wi-fi so not through the PS4) is veryyyy weak. Frequently I've had to look at my tv screen to see what I'm doing, because the screen on the Vita becomes pixelated and blocky. I can't understand this, because we've got a fast connect, yet it still tells me the connection is very slow. Anyway, yeah. I'll stop by here again if I discover any more errors in Skylanders for PS4. I've stopped using my ps3 version since I got the game for next gen.
