Yume Nikki:Glitches

There are a variety of glitches in Yume Nikki.

Glitches

Contains a list of glitches in Yume Nikki.

Speed Glitch

A useful glitch that quadruples Madotsuki's walking speed. Although Madotsuki will appear as her normal sprite (except in the FC Worlds), the glitch will be active. The bicycle is the most commonly used effect for this, as it allows for quadruple speed. The Speed Glitch is an oversight caused by allowing the player to use the menu in the chair.

Instructions

1. Sit in the chair in Madotsuki's dream room
2. Open the menu with X
3. Equip the Bicycle
4. Press down, then Z to exit the chair.

The glitch will now be active. The effect will disappear if you equip any effects. Madotsuki will sit if 1 is pressed, but the other action will happen as well (e.g. with the bike, the bell noise will play).

This glitch can also be used to "store" effect actions. For example, if the above instructions are followed but the Bicycle effect is substituted for the Midget effect, Madotsuki will be able to walk through small spaces as if she had the Midget effect equipped, despite using her normal sprite. It should also be noted that using any other effect other than the Bicycle still increases Madotsuki's walking speed, though not as much as when the Bicycle is used.

Hyperspeed Glitch

Instructions

A related glitch that is slightly more complicated, but allows the effect to stack allowing for movement eight times faster than the walking speed, which is equal to that of Candle World's Toriningen. There are two ways of acquiring this glitch.

Instructions

First Way:

1. Sit in the chair in Madotsuki's dream room
2. Open the menu with X
3. Equip the Bicycle
4. Press Z to ride the chair
5. Ride the chair into the Nexus
6. Press 5 to drop the Bicycle effect, then pick it back up
7. Open the menu (you should hear the 'unable' sound effect), and equip the Bicycle
8. Return to the bedroom. There will be no chair at the desk.
9. Go to the desk and sit down on the invisible chair, then press down and Z to get up.

Second Way:

1. Sit in the chair in Madotsuki's dream room
2. Open the menu with X
3. Equip the Yuki Onna effect
4. Equip the Hat & Scarf effect
5. Press Z to ride the chair
6. Press 1 to turn into a snowman, then press 1 again
7. Open the menu (You should hear the 'unable' sound effect), and equip the bicycle
8. Go to the desk and sit down on the invisible chair, then press down and Z to get up.

Note: The second glitch will speed up any equipped effect by simply replacing the bicycle with your desired effect.

Noclip Glitch

Disables most collision, allowing Madotsuki to walk through objects and walls.

• Note: This will also work with the Umbrella effect

Instructions

1. Sit in the chair in Madotsuki's dream room
2. Equip the knife effect
3. Press down, then Z to get off the chair
4. Quickly (while Madotsuki is moving) press 1 to switch hands with the knife

This will allow Madotsuki to walk through anything with any effect equipped, though some loading zones don't trigger, limiting the amount of areas that can be explored. Hell is useful for getting to locations with this glitch, as it provides alternative methods of getting to areas through the use of Toriningen and Nenrikido that substitute normal loading zones (even the single Henkei Shita located there is the only way to get to Footprint Path A). Toriningen in other locations such as Guillotine World and The Checkered Tile Path also help with accessing other areas.

It should also be noted that getting into any of the beds in the dream world, even if they send you to The Staircase of Hands, deactivates the glitch, returning Madotsuki to normal. Thus, the glitch can not be utilized in Underground World, The Spaceship, or Mars.

Broken Instructions

A somewhat convoluted glitch that allows you to be able to move, and enter a new area while the instructions are open which leads to a variety of glitches.

Instructions

1. Equip the frog effect in the chair.
2. Go to the area you want to do this. It has to be somewhere where you can just walk into a different area.
3. Press 1 and you should see Madotsuki sit down, then jump back up.
4. Equip the cat effect. (Can also be done with an egg drop in the Nexus)
5. Wait for a little while and the game will force you to sit down.
6. Press the X key once (only once) a few seconds after being forced to sit down.
7. Press 1 and the menu should open after the animation for the cat effect is finished.
8. Open the instructions (don't close them).
9. Wait a few more seconds and then press 1.
10. You should hear the same sound as when you use the cat effect, and be able to move freely.
11. Walk into the walk in area mentioned before.
12. Press the Z normally to reopen the instructions, however pressing Z while equipping effects will not reopen it.

Sub Glitches

Invisible Madotsuki: This glitch is a side effect of broken instructions, and requires no extra setup beyond what's listed above.

BGM storage: Another side effect of broken instructions. The way this one works is that when you open the instructions the music stops, but it starts again after you close it. If you close the instructions in a different area it will take the music from wherever you opened the instructions and play that. This is because the game still has it stored.

Glitched movement: Glitched movement is a glitch that occurs when you close the instructions while sitting down. Your movement will be cycling between 4 of the sitting animation sprites. Left is the first sprite and then it continues in order clockwise.

There is also a newer type of glitched movement. Do the process for the broken instructions, but not the whole thing. Then, close the menu, open it and press 1. It will do nothing. Then, while you still have the Cat effect equipped, go in Snow World and you will be in the sleeping animation sprite. You are able to move freely while you are sleeping.

Broken save: This is a glitch that makes a save file unplayable. To do this glitch do broken instructions and wake up with the instructions. Press 1 so you are sitting, then press Z to reopen the instructions. This will give you glitched movement. If you save with glitched movement your save will be unplayable.

Broken witch event: If you do broken instructions and close the instructions in the witch event the game will put you in the center of the witch event where you can work around. This works because the game stores Madotsuki when you open the instructions, so if you close the instructions in the witch event the game will think it needs to put you back into the game in the same way you were when you opened the instructions. This causes there to be two Madotsukis you control at the same time. As well as enables menu use.
