Watch any internet video on the subject to see an example of such strange game behavior.

There are many pins inside the cartridge that “talks” with the console properly. If you tilt the cartridge even by a little bit, the piece of information/memory will not be processed properly. It like taking away a part of the brain that helps you remember to talk properly. The more pieces you tilt or “part of the brain you take away,” the more weird things it would do or “talk more and more like baby until you don’t understand anymore.”
