>nobody's ever offered definite proof of bigfoot in San Andreas

Also, post retro games lore

Let's see, some dumb shit I've heard as a kid:

-There's a Rainbow Road stage in Mario 64 if you collect all the stars and use the cannon in the courtyard.

-Cloud Strife is a GF in FF8 that you can get if you defeat the secret ¨Omni Weapon¨ super boss.

-Crash Bandicoot is a secret playable character in Smash Bros Melee.

in the side scrolling beat em up "Kung Fu Master" if you complete the game 8 times in a row the final boss for the 9th time is your girlfriend who you previously just rescued 8 times.

I guess she was getting pissed off with you after she constantly gets kidnapped while under your protection

Posting a classic.

>furshading this good

Not in San Andreas.

>>11808648 (OP)
Mortal Kombat II had a stage fatality on Living Forest where you could throw a defeated opponent into the background to be eaten by the trees. The burning man on Pit II was a secret opponent.

I think gamefaqs formers had a lot of oot posts on how to get the tri-force which included a rematch w dark link iirc along w doing a ton of trivial stuff within a certain time limit.

Wait so is Bigfoot actually in San Andreas? I know he is in tiger woods 04 or 05.

There is a secret key hidden on this multiplayer level in Army Men 3D. I don't think it actually does anything, but we had many theories as kids.

What other games does Samsquanch make cameos in?

The rumor about Sheng Long in Street Fighter II was persistent in the pre-internet era because despite EGM openly acknowledging it was a prank the whole time most kids heard about it from other kids who were convinced it was real. The rumor spread faster than the truth did, and there were multiple versions, which just added to the confusion.

The kid who told me about it insisted that not only could you not lose a match before M. Bison, you had to get a perfect in every round. And despite this seeming literally impossible he claimed to have done it with Zangief once. Furthermore, he claimed Zangief was the ONLY character you could realistically do it with because of the 360 pile driver grab, which you could abuse against the CPU. I kinda suspected he was full of shit but he *was* really fucking good with Zangief so it didn't seem completely implausible.

christine being in san andreas is cooler because it's actually real

>>11809569
ironically both of these would be true.

living forest has a stage fatality in MK9 while the burning man on pit II is the main antagonist of armageddon.

>>11810021
in rockstar's games red dead redemption's undead nightmare expansion as a sidequest and GTA5 for getting 100% completion.

>>11809569
The longform noob saibot fight unlock in mk2 was insane as a kid 50 consecutive matches win

>>11810008
There's a hidden South Park episode on Tiger Woods '99

>>11810065
Wait whaaaa?

I made up a rumor that in Chrono Trigger you could get Azala as the 8th playable character

>>11810101
That was you? Fuck you asshole

>>11810008
>Wait so is Bigfoot actually in San Andreas?
No, it was always a hoax.
The game just had the kind of lonely wilderness vibe that gets the imagination going, and it's easy to let your mind wander when you're going through the forested, mountainous areas. It's not surprising that people WANTED there to be something out there.

Meh

>>11808648 (OP)
Someday I want to make a game that has a bunch of real obscure secrets that are impossible to datamine with assets being generated in obfuscated code

It's all slander, Bigfoot doesn't exist in real life or the acclaimed video game GTA San Andreas and cease your investigations

>>11808648 (OP)
That secret Megaman level

>>11810678
I'll do what I did in 2003 and go and look them up on GameFAQs.com

>>11808648 (OP)
I'm surprised no one's mentioned the various "resurrect Aerith" methods from FFVII.

From what I remember you were supposed to breed 2 gold chocobos of opposite sexes and then feed them some kind of super rare nut and you'd get a rainbow chocobo that would let you enter a secret room under the midgar swamp

>>11810678
thats called deltarune

>>11812715
Am I the only one who still unironically uses gamefaqs? Sometimes I just want one comprehensive text file I can search by keyword and not a website where every fucking item gets its own separate page

>>11809569
>>11810048
At one of the arcades in my city I remember hearing some kids say that if you get 250 Flawless Victory wins you get to fight Goro's dad (MK).
As for MKII the rumours of crazy stuff were just too many to remember.

>>11808648 (OP)
>Sonic and Tails in Smash Bros 64.
>The PokeGods behind Bills house.
>Mew under a truck.
>Mewtwo's secret evolution Mewthree.
>Pikablue
>Resurrecting Aerith.
These are the only ones I can remember off the top of my head.

>>11813158
yep. nothing beats the ux of a plain ol text file

>>11808648 (OP)
Gogeta in Dragon Ball Final Bout

>>11813519
>>The PokeGods behind Bills house.
I always heard it was Togepi there

>>11813158
i still use it if a dedicated wiki for the game doesn't exist.

i hate scrolling through a youtube video to find the specific part i want.

>>11808648 (OP)
magic

My cousin insisted you can go to a star world where you unlock colored yoshis in SMW

>>11808648 (OP)
Smart avoid

Arcade games have secrets that are real.

There's that moon and reptile thing in Mortal Kombat. MK2 has Noob Saibot and pong.

Gauntlet Legends has nude Valkyrie.

Area 51 Kronn Hunter mode

why make this thread when you could just ask chatgpt?

>>11818353
What the fuck would chatgtp know?

>>11810017
There's a guy on youtube that does ""Ullillillia Bubsy style" videos on that game. Most of the maps have all kinds of random objects outside of bounds. Seems like the devs would just dump a bunch of props out there while making the maps and then never bother to delete them.

Your feet are glowing

Remember someone saying for one of the Pokemon games that many of out-of-school their friends were able to breed a mew with mewtwo and a ditto

>>11814529
Well, yeah, Togepi was one of the PokeGods. So was Maril and Ho-Oh. A lot of the rumored PokeGods, not counting the ones that were actually fake like Doomsay were just Gen 2 Pokémon that had either been seen in the anime or in Gold/Silver concept art that managed to find it's way into the pages of Nintendo Power.

>>11813305
I remember that. Some idiot made up that Pong was Goro's father instead the actual old game. You've to win 250 fights in a row to unlock it, no flawless are needed.
