    There's a fun glitch in this game where during the Figure Skating event, if you crash/kneel immediately and constantly, you'll get a perfect score.. possibly due to the permanent damage on the crushed knee bones or a negative 1 yields a score-wrap? You be the judge.

      OMG we had that! My younger cousin, about 4-5 years old at the time, insisted he wanted to play, and his round consisted of him falling constantly. He got a perfect score, and nobody was able to replicate the glitch. 30 years later it's his initials still set up as the highest score.
