Cartridge Tilting refers to the act of tilting cartridges in a console to loosen the connection, which can mess up gameplay. Cartridge tilting is not a glitch, but rather a process which creates hardware glitches. By continuously tilting the cartridge mid-game, the cartridge will enter a state where its not fully connected to the console but not completely disconnected. Thus, enough information from the cartridge is blocked to glitch up the game, but not enough to make it freeze, crash, or otherwise error out.
