Part 17

Explore various glitches and bugs in Mafia: Definitive Edition, including how to enter 'Ghost World,' perform super jumps, and make cars invisible. Learn about map exploits and unique vehicle behaviors.

This section details various glitches, bugs, and exploits discovered in Mafia: Definitive Edition, offering unique ways to interact with the game world and its mechanics.

Police Car Theft Glitch:

As mentioned in the 'Police' section, players can intentionally bump a police car to draw attention. By evading the police until the 'puzzled policeman' symbol appears and then exiting the vehicle, Tommy can lure the officers away. While they are distracted, Tommy can attempt to pick the lock of their police car and potentially steal it. The game also allows for a scenario where Tommy can park the stolen police car against a wall, leading to a humorous situation where the pursuing officers repeatedly eject each other from the passenger side. Tommy can then drive away with a policeman still in the passenger seat.

Entering 'Ghost World':

Several methods exist to access 'Ghost World,' a state where textures and collision files are missing.

• Market Ave Area: The southeast part of a fence at a car lot on the south side of the block east of the 'Ave' section of 'Market Ave' in Hoboken is non-solid, allowing entry.
• Morello's Bar Parking Lot: During 'Freeride,' the rear gate of the parking lot for Morello's Bar (located at the southeast corner of the block with 'ARK' from 'NEW ARK' on the map) is non-solid. A non-solid red gate is also present at the front of this lot.
• Salieri's Bar Exit Glitch: In a main story mission, before Tommy drives from behind Salieri's Bar towards the street, he can enter 'Ghost World.' To do this, park Tommy's car in the middle of the driveway just before the area that loads the rest of the town. Position the car's front end about a foot before the far left corner of the building. Then, park another car between Tommy's car and a wall to prevent normal exit. After several attempts to exit, Tommy will teleport in front of his car, allowing exploration of 'Ghost World.'
• Alleyway Glitch: Tommy can park his car in a narrow alley, allowing him to exit while preventing Paulie and Sam from doing so. This can cause them to slide side-to-side in their car seats, unable to follow Tommy.
• Mission-Specific Access: 'Ghost World' can be accessed during specific missions, including 'Running Man' (Mission 2), 'Ordinary Routine' (Mission 4), 'The Whore/The Priest' (Mission 8), and in 'Freeride'/'Freeride Extreme.'

Map Exits and Jumps:

• General Map Exits: Various jumps allow Tommy to reach areas outside the normal playable map.
• Ghost Taxi Glitch: In the 'Tutorial' mission, the three wedge-shaped ramps on the instructor's lot can be used to make a taxi move. Park the Falconer Yellowcar on a ramp, shoot one of its wheels, and a replacement wheel will appear, causing the car to move forward slowly. This can lead the car to defy gravity and fall into the ramp, continuing forward until Tommy enters it or reaches it via a jump.
• Invisible Car and Ghost Effect: In the construction area north of 'DOWN TOWN' and 'OAKLAND,' players can find a small gray building with a brown 'ghost door.' Entering the blue-green Crusader Chromium Fordor Blue through this door can lead to a car that becomes progressively invisible as it's driven, eventually leaving only a shadow. Driving further can make Tommy invisible as well.
• Freeride Extreme Stunt Ramps: The three stunt ramps in 'Freeride Extreme' can be used for jumps, including crossing the river with faster cars like the HotRod.
• West Marshall Bridge Jumps: Tommy can ramp off the raised drawbridge or off the steps and front wall of a building by continuing east to west on the West Marshall Bridge.
• Ultimate Bridge Jump: At the southern bridge of the two large bridges in the north-central country, players can find three cylindrical metal containers at the northwest corner. Removing these containers allows Tommy to drive off the cliff and attempt to land on the shore across the river. Examples using a Black Dragon 4WD are available.
• Downtown Ledge Jump: South of the southeast corner of Downtown, west of a small building, is a ledge. Driving off this ledge into the shallow water (about a foot deep) allows for continued driving.
• Stair Glitch Super Jump: Using the 'stair glitch' on the stairs at the ninety-degree road bend north of the first mission can result in a super jump with a Black Metal 4WD.
