'''Cloning''' refers to a number of glitches that allow Mario to hold [[object]]s that were not intended to be held. Typically, this happens when Mario continues to hold an [[object slot]] after the object in it has unloaded. When a new object loads into this slot, Mario will hold a reference to this new object. The name "cloning" comes from one of its main applications, which is to duplicate objects such as [[coin]]s or [[Goomba]]s. This name is a misnomer, as the duplication behavior is a property of those specific objects, and not the technique itself.
