Intro

Glitched Crown is an unlockable passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.

Description

  • Item pedestals quickly cycle between 5 random items

Trivia

  • This item is a stronger version of the item cycling mechanic of Tainted Isaac. Its unlock method is unusual, as most other tainted characters have items based on their mechanics unlocked by defeating Delirium instead of The Beast.
  • The Glitched Crown is a nod to a visual glitch in Super Mario Bros. where if the player has more than 99 lives, often achieved by the Koopa shell infinite 1up trick, the lives counter shown at the start of each stage shows a crown.
  • There are five question marks in the item description, a nod to the five options that the item gives.
  • The crown's glitched appearance looks to be a sprite error, a bug that messes with video game sprites by making their sprites either devolve into unintelligible pixels like in the bottom right quarter of the crown, or renders the sprite incorrectly, like the flipped effect of the top right quarter of the sprite.
  • This causes it to look like an item afflicted by TMTRAINER, an item whose icon features similar glitchy distortions.

Bugs

Bug! Glitched Crown still attempts to create 4 extra items when a quest item is generated (such as Key Piece 1), but because quest items cannot be rerolled, it will delete 4 items from that room's item pool. Glitch Items Items
