This is a list of glitches that occur in the Cell Stage of Spore.
Minor glitches[]
Unwanted music video[]
When going to the Spore Menu, settings, and muting background music, the music can't be heard, but when starting a new game with the Cell Stage the music is muted, and the asteroid sound effects including crashing into the planet are heard.
During the final cutscene of the Creature Stage, a member of the nest smashing video has the music of it. The music will eventually go off when it starts to play. The same thing can also occur when muting sound effects but leaving the background music on.
Plant matter glitch []
The missing plant matter glitch seen in the cell stage
When the player's cell hatches, a large plant matter may have generated nearby with a piece missing. This is caused by code that makes the 'hatching' cell have a certain amount of space around it without anything there that could cause it to become stuck or eaten instantly.
Nervous Growth Breakdown []
Nervous Growth Breakdown is a term given to the glitch when encountering a cell that keeps jittering and moving around randomly in one place. Then suddenly grows without eating to a giant Epic Cell, but twice as big as regular cells, it then disappears quickly without moving.
No Cell Meat Glitch []
Very rarely, when a cell kills another cell no meat or blood appears, just bubbles.
Omnivores eat twice as much food []
This glitch happened when the player's cell possesses some small spikes and a proboscis, finds a peer cell, and starts sucking on it. If it has spikes then after the 3rd or 4th suck, the cell will die and it might get sucked on again and thrown into the player's cell, if this happens they get 2 DNA and the DNA icon appears twice. The glitch may have been fixed.
NPC Cell continuously bites a dead cell []
This glitch is very rare, being recorded only once. Sometimes, you might find a dead predator cell on the Cell Stage, with another predator cell eating it. However, instead of either smashing it into meat chunks or devouring it in one bite, it will constantly bite with small particles coming out of it's mouth. Sometimes, another cell that generally is the same one as the biting cell will come and also start eating. This glitch does not affect gameplay in any way, though it might be useful for some carnivores as it might give them a free food source (Given that the biting cell is not too strong). (note: picture/video needs to be fixed)
Missing Cell Animation bug []
This is a rare glitch. Cells' mouths do not move when taking food (vegetables, meat or other cells). Instead the food disappears when taken. Cell may also not move when mating.

Baby Predator cell Glitch []
In hard and normal mode, when you grow larger next to an epic, it will be smaller than a normal predator cell. When you charge into it with spikes, it will run away. It does this with Duckys.
Cell death and evolution at the same time[]
If your cell takes the final bite of food necessary to complete cell stage while getting eaten by a predator cell, it will bump into the predator cell many times while the image with the growing brain still plays. The game then proceeds normally once you are in the early creature editor. However, if you press the button to evolve legs and go to land, if your cell dies while the cutscene of it swimming to surface plays, the cutscene continues playing, but your cell is just the typical dead cell blood splatter. (Splatter remains stationary.)
This is what happens when your cell dies while it's swimming to land. The bones are rounded instead of squared like they're supposed to be. (The squared out bones at the front came from extending the torso. Only the first 6 vertebrae your creature starts with are affected.)
Dying while mating[]
If the NPC mating cell dies while you are mating, your cell will skip the rest of its mating and lay its egg. The game will then proceed normally.
If your cell is the one that dies when the mating cutscene plays, you will enter the cell editor as normal, but a death will still be recorded into your history.
Constant Sucking in Cell Stage []
Sometimes when killing a predator cell with a Proboscis, your cell might get slightly inside the cell and start continuously sucking. This can be stopped if either you get to the end of the stage with all of the sucking or the cell shrinks away.
Food Offset in Cell Stage []
When you enter Paint Mode after dying during the "swimming to the surface" cutscene. The creature's torso and legs are invisible, and only the parts are visible.
Sometimes when drinking a plant with a Proboscis, the plant might

appear offseted from your cell's mouth.
Epic Cell Control Glitch []
Cell Stage Bodyswapping glitch? one of a kind spore bug
This glitch is still possible without mods, but it is still very rare.
This glitch is not a bad one, and is more fun than unfortunate. If you swim into an epic cells' mouth in cell stage, there is a rare chance, that you will go all the way through into its body and become the epic cell. You can play as the epic cell, use its abilities, and eat smaller cells, making this a rather fun glitch. If you evolve into creature stage, the epic cell that you were playing as will replace yours in the early creature editor. This glitch is very rare but is very fun to play with. The second you "body-swap" with an epic, the next 'level' will begin. Mating may not work, but if it does, the cell editor becomes glitched
and some pieces of your cell may look colored. It is believed this will work if you have a cell with multiple jets, so you can jet into the epic cells mouth. Epic cells will look like normal sized cells too you, but since your an epic cell, that makes sense.
The glitch is very confusing and may glitch out many parts of cell stage, but it is still fun to play around with.
For some reason, this glitch is more likely to happen with a Snorf epic, which will send you to the last 'level', staying as an epic Snorf, until you evolve into a creature, but, as previously mentioned, you will still ahve it in the early creature editor.
Funny enough this glitch kind of turns your cell into a parasite in a way, which makes this glitch seem like a feature that didn't get removed properly, although this is only my theory. -InsaneGrox
Supersized Epic Cell Glitch[]
Epic cells normally have 3 different sizes in cell stage: the common ones that can eat you in one bite, the less common ones that are just slightly bigger than common ones, and then the huge ones that can eat epic cells. But, there is a rare size that causes it to be so big it's mouth practically takes up the whole screen. It can barely move, because spore cells are programmed that the bigger they are, the slower. They can probably eat the huge epic cells in a bite, but, previously mentioned, are too slow too move. It seems Ducky cell's are the most common cells to become huge epics and also this glitched epic, but the glitched supergiant cell is a very rare glitch.
They arent truly dangerous, and you can float near one, but they cant really eat you, because you are too small for its awareness to reach you, but cells can grow too new sizes sometimes, and this may be a glitch that just miscalculated how big it is.
Differently-placed flagellas[]
(I don't know if this is really a glitch or not, but i'm gonna write it anyway)
sometimes, in cell editor, when you place, move, throw flagellas around your cell, they will be placed somewhat differently from what they are supposed to be placed like. this is a screenshot --> notice the normal-placed flagellas and the differently-placed flagellas (to the top.).
^ This usually happens with the flagella that defaultly spawns on your cell.
^This is not exactly a glitch, it's a byproduct of being a 3D-model only visible in a 2D editor - enlarging the body may allow the body parts to be attached to a point of the body that once enlarged or reduced mvoe a bit up or down. Plus the editor is meant to be a bit flexible in spots so having a round body allows the player to move it a bit lower or higher depending on how close you move the mouse. You can check it out in the creature editor and trying to add pieces looking from the top of the creature.
Epic Cell Pull Glitch[]
if you sometimes pass an epic cell, you will go past it normally until it tries to eat you, pulling you right towards its mouth.
^This is not a glitch, but an intended feature based on fish that suck small prey into their mouths in a similar fashion. - DitieBun (SeriousMANBOT)
Aggravated Squiggly[]
Damaging a Squiggly will cause the Squiggly to get aggro'd and start biting at the cell. However, this will not damage the receiving cell because Filter Mouths deal no damage. After a while of attacking your cell (or simply moving out of its field of vision) they will become passive again.
Junior Egg Glitch[]
If you eat a Junior Egg at the same time it hatches, you will eat the egg and then be able to eat the Junior also.
Major glitches[]
The Spazzing Cell[]
This very rare glitch happens with a Nosey cell. (edit if it works for others). To make this glitch happen, add a poison bit to your cell and make sure you need one more food to evolve to become bigger than Nosey. Swim near food and camp there until Nosey comes, as soon as he comes, eat the food and drown Nosey in the poison. If you swim into or near him, he will become HUGE. Bigger than an epic cell huge. Then he will start flipping around, revealing his belly (which is kinda cool, makes him a 3-D cell) and his eyes will be just white. Eventually, he will stop and disappear. Whenever you eat a food near where he was, he will come back and spaz out. This is a very rare glitch, only recorded thrice. Once on YouTube, and twice on my PC. Sorry if it doesn't work, but it is a rare glitch.
