Glitches - Super Mario World: Holding the key on Yoshi?

    Super Mario World ranks up as one of the best games in the pre 3D era, and certain one of the best for the SNES.  But that's not to say that there aren't a few quirky things about the game. In fact, this game is full of oddities and glitches, some of which are good, some not so much.

    Here is an example of a glitch you can do about anywhere you can find a key with Yoshi.  Place the key on the ground, then dismount Yoshi so that the edge of the key is about half way into Yoshi's body.  Then jump onto the little dinosaur while holding the Y button, and Mario should end up with the key in his hands while riding Yoshi!  

    Note: The key's sprite has to appear in front of Yoshi for this to work.  If the key is behind him then it's usually not performable.  Also if you try to grab anything with Yoshi's tongue then he'll grab the key out of Mario's hands and hold it like normal.  Finally, some levels won't let you use a key hole with this glitch unless you can get the key itself to touch the hole, and that's usually not possible.
