What are your favorite gaming exploits?

[Bludshot]

While we often encounter games with annoying glitches or cheap, obnoxious gameplay elements (I'm looking at you Shao Kahn  ), it is only fair to acknowledge that we often employ the same tactics if pushed to the edge.

One of the biggest I ever accomplished I did so unwittingly.  When MOE came out both I and a friend of mine got copies.  A few days later we were talking about the and he was complaining about he got himself stuck in the infamous gamebreaking "Feather of Truth" room.  At this point I was already in the swamp and I had no idea what he was talking about.  He asked me how I got the Sylph's blessing and that just made me more confused. 

"Then how did you get the Hammer! It's guarding by those life draining spirits!"

"Oh I just kept using healing items until I was past them."

And that's when I learned all that babble Charon kept saying was actually important.

Anyone else have some good exploits?

Getting extra bottles in Ocarine of Time is definitely one of my favorites.  Nothing like 6 or 7 bottles with fairies in them to basically make it impossible to get a game over at any boss.

Pretty much anything that allows sequence breaking in any of the Metroid games.

Item duplication can always be useful, especially in Demon's Souls.

Also, I know it's not technically an exploit, but PC gamers who use the console to control god mode, clipping, and spawning have a great advantage over gamers who play their games on a console.

Well, this isn't really an exploit, but it's still in the same vein. Propably something that the developers left in as a joke.

A warning to those who likes warnings, it involves virtual nudity with pixelization at strategic spots.
