This is a new glitch discovered on May 28, 2018, that contributes to the [[A Button Challenge]]. | '''Wii VC Round-To-Zero''' is a special phenomenon caused by emulation inaccuracy exclusive to [[Virtual Console|Wii Virtual Console]] (Wii VC).

In the Wii Virtual Console, it is possible to raise the moving platform at the beginning of [[Bowser in the Fire Sea|BitFS]], due to a rounding error that is unique to the Wii Virtual Console. It is believed this happens because the Wii doesn't round-to-nearest with floating point numbers, as the N64 does, but instead rounds-to-zero. Since the moving platform is below 0, it tends towards it. It is possible to [[Abbreviations|DR]] in about 8 days, and it is possible to [[Vertical Speed Conservation|VSC]] with a lava boost in 3 days. | In the Wii Virtual Console, it is possible to raise the moving platform at the beginning of [[Bowser in the Fire Sea|BitFS]], due to a rounding error that is unique to the Wii Virtual Console.

The glitch was discovered by '''Andru!''' when he went to sleep leaving the Wii powered on for several hours in Bowser in the Fire Sea (BitFS), and found that the oscillating platforms had left their original positions.<sup><ref>''Bowser in the Fire Sea in 0x A Presses?
