Notable bugs not fixed because they're fun

These bugs are almost impossible to encounter during normal game play and are fun to mess around with.
* Cliff clip: Getting out-of-bounds by using a skip sandwich to get on top of a cliff.
* Tent glitch: Checking the corner of the Zombie Relief Corps. tent in Threed to cause odd text.
* Stairs glitch: Interrupting the "getting on stairs" animation with a message to allow out-of-bounds walking.
* Rock candy glitch: Using the Rock candy with a condiment causing it to not be consumed, but you get the stat boost.

Notable bugs not fixed because they're hard to resolve

These bugs are just plain too hard to fix right now.
* Equip anything glitch: Equipping an item during battle on the same turn a teddy bear is destroyed causing the wrong item to be equipped.
* PK Thunder reflection issues: Using PK Thunder on an enemy with a counter-shield when you also have a counter-shield causing odd reflection logic.
* HP over 1000 issues: Using other glitches (or giving Ness every Vitality boost) to get more than 1000 HP causing weird displays on the UI.
* Lv99 blocking Magicant boost: Won't recieve the extra power-up after Magicant if you're already Level 99.
