It's a video game glitch where a warp sends you to the wrong place. Secondary coverage is bare but passable – Ars Technica and Kotaku have a paragraph and a sentence on it respectively.

the term seems pretty much exclusively used to refer to a speedrunning glitch in super mario bros. 3, so i'd say retarget to it. or to speedrunning if there's no room to add a mention to any other targets cogsan _{(nag me) (stalk me)} 11:24, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - wrong warping is a technique/glitch where a warp (eg. through a door/loading screen/teleporter/whatever) takes you to the "wrong" place, which is used by sequence breakers. It's used in multiple Mario games (at least original SMB and SMB3, probably others), Pokemon games, Elden Ring, and others. Should be kept because a wrong warp is a way of sequence breaking. Would also be fine with retargetting to Glitching or Speedrunning if consensus leans that way. BugGhost🦗👻 11:56, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to Warp (video games) per below - much better target BugGhost🦗👻 09:22, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Warp (video games) and add some sort of explanation. I've heard it used to describe numerous glitches in which teleportation causes a character to end up in the wrong level or area. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 22:34, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to Warp (video games) and edit target to add explanation - A wrong warp, while oftentimes used in sequence breaking, isn't always beneficial (it's plausible a wrong-warp may send you back or, as in the case of World -1 in Super Mario Bros., softlock the game) and so the article on video game warps is a more reasonable target. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{threads critiques} 23:57, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete unless mentioned somewhere since the concept of "warp" occurs in several forms of fiction, with one of the highest to come to mind being Star Trek, warping people to the wrong place on a planet or whatever ... Steel1943 (talk) 20:52, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Hence why the retargets include adding an explanation to the target. "Wrong warp" is a common speedrunning term for exploiting a bug in a warp system to get somewhere you aren't supposed to go yet/at all. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{threads critiques} 18:24, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Warp (video games) and add an explanation. A wrong warp is not necessarily a sequence break. It can also be used to access unused beta maps, or access invalid maps which leads to crashes. Ocarina of Time's 100% SRM speedrun is a prime example of the second case, since it has a lot of wrong warp setups that crash the game when done incorrectly.
