Because cloned objects never unload, they gradually fill up the available [[object slots]] and continue to be rendered on screen. This can cause lag, [[game corruption]], and eventually a [[game freeze]] when the object slots run out.

=== Infinite shell ===
When Mario rides on a [[Koopa Shell]] or [[Shiny Shell]], although the latter is impossible to clone, the shell object stays spawned until he runs into a [[wall]] or presses Z, which causes the shell to break. At this point, Mario sets a flag on the shell, and when the shell next updates, it unloads itself. Because a cloned shell does not update, it does not unload, allowing Mario to repeatedly ride and break a shell after cloning it.
