Here’s the video:
Blue: "My video explains Dr. Nabbit and Stingby, who will come tomorrow at 1 AM PT. Nabbit's skill boosts your score by 3,000 points. Seems useful for getting stars. Stingby's skill grants an 8% chance of 8 more seconds in timed stages. That's a ton of vitamin bee!" #DrMarioWorld pic.twitter.com/1pRIz8Pu2O

Glitches and exploits seem to come hand in hand with Pokemon games. The latest entry, Pokemon Sword/Shield, was just recently impacted by one major issue in which hacked creatures could be sent through Surprise Trade. The situation resulted in crashes and could prevent online interactions. Fortunately, the games were eventually patched.
Another notable exploit seems to have popped up recently. Players have discovered that the results of an online match can be negated, and in a relatively simple manner. All that’s needed is to push the power button to disconnect the Switch at a specific time after losing a match. If it’s done the right way, the loser won’t lose points for the match and the winner won’t gain any points for their victory.
The bug has already circulated quite extensively on social media, including how it can be performed. Here’s a look at it in action:
WayForward is celebrating April Fools’ Day with Cat Girl Without Salad: Amuse-Bouche, an actual new release on the Switch eShop. View some footage below.
