Frozen Beach Koopa Glitch

The **Frozen Beach Koopa Glitch** is a basic trick used in *Super Mario Maker*. This trick is used to freeze a Beach Koopa in place. While the Beach Koopa will no longer be able to move freely on its own, it is still possible for Mario to interact with it and move it with items.

This only works on levels created before version 1.47.

## Activating the Glitch

When a Beach Koopa starts to get back in its shell, destroying, or taking the shell will cause the Koopa to be frozen in place. The reason for this is likely because the Beach Koopa is trying to get inside of a shell that is no longer there.

## Variations

### Floating Beach Koopa

When a Beach Koopa is frozen in place, it will remain in the same location even if the floor is removed or it is pushed off of the ground.

### Flying Beach Koopa

When a frozen Beach Koopa is hit by a sideways spring it will fly upwards indefinitely until it hits a ceiling. The Beach Koopa will then remain in place even if the ceiling is removed. Mario is unable to take damage while the Beach Koopa is in this state, but is still able to jump on it.

### Sliding Beach Koopa

Hitting a flying, frozen Beach Koopa with a shellmet will cause it will fall to the ground and continuously slide across the ground on its face until it hits a wall. Mario is unable to jump on the Beach Koopa while it is in this state, but will still take damage from it.

If the Beach Koopa hits a sideways spring then it will return to normal.

## Deactivating the Glitch

There are only 3 known ways to unfreeze the Beach Koopa:

* Breaking it's shell. This will not work if the shell is completely destroyed, such as by spin jumping on it.
* Hitting the Beach Koopa with a shellmet
* Touching a sideways spring (Only while in the sliding animation)
