Ladder / Floor Clip Going down a ladder which is designed to only take you upwards is possible when the bottom edge of a ladder aligns with the edge of a raised floor tile.
Vertical Screen Wrap Jumping from an upper platform down to the bottom elevator section on the floor, causes Mario to avoid collision and fall through the bottom of the screen and emerge at the top. However the height is such that Mario is programmed to die upon touching any platform.
