>Anyone else got anything they've found in games that you had no idea existed?

No, everyone in the world played games knowing full well every nook and cranny of them at all times.

You must be fun at parties

You might not know this but there are people who use a walkthrough the first time they play a game.

and they are casual scum

I found him back in 1996. How did you not know about him for so long?

>>1650801
I just never climbed that tree after it didn't give me a life I think. Made the cage star 1000x easier to get

>>1650760
How does a post on 4chan relate to what they do somewhere else?

>>1650746

don't you need him to get a star in that stage?

>If you get thrown in Streets of Rage 2, holding up and jump will make you always land on your feet, taking no damage
>dying intentionally on the first stage of the Lost Vikings 2 activates a hidden "cheat" mode that gives Baelog a jump attack, Eric gets a fireball, and Olaf can telefrag enemies with his big fat ass

>>1650916
This.

OP how in the hell did you get the caged star? Well aimed triple jump? Cannon?

You can get in there with the cannon. My buddy didn't know about the owl either, and he had been doing it that way.

The other day I found a warp in the pyramid and some walls I could clip through in Tiny Huge Island. I never knew they were there.

>>1651331
>aim cannon over cage
>do that Z-button butt stomp thing when directly over the cage

Every time. I thought that was how you were supposed to get it.

It's mostly stupid shit I know. In FF7 when you first get to Junon, if you run straight to the ship without stopping at any of the shops you can see all your party members dressed in the soldier uniforms before you get on the boat

/v/ the thread

Do they delete posts here?

>>1650746
got a similar mario64 epiphany recently, never knew that if you jumped higher into wet dry world's painting the water level would be raised

>>1651594
Frequently.

DDR 3rd mix - you can unlock everything if you leave the game alone with no save for a few minutes.

I discovered this by loading it up and then going to the bathroom. Everything unlocked itself when I got back a minute later.

>>1651359
This, that's how I did it as well.

>>1651331
Using the cannon :/

>>1652718
I think I found that out through some K-Zone magazine. I doubt i would have realised it without it

The Hammer Bros in SMB1 will come after you if you take too long. I never knew that because I either get past them quickly or die trying.

It doesn't sound like much, but that's a pretty complicated behavior for that game. Especially because they react to the terrain to jump up and get after you. It's probably the most complicated enemy AI in the entire game.

>>1650746
i thought you had to use the cannon... i succeeded

>>1651359
>>1652756
What are you, gay?
You can't Z stomp out of a cannon shot

for some reason I thought that the Owl was added in the DS remake until maybe about last year when I found him in the N64 version. I always got into the cage with a well-aimed cannon shot. The last time I played I managed to do a triple-jump off of Whomp King after he falls over by the edge.

He should do a review on ultima for the nes
There's a bunch of insults to that one and I just want to see him do an rpg

>>1653732
Once cannon momentum is lost and you head dive to your death

>>1653760
Bullshit
I've played this game since I was young

Firebrand's Luminous Body super is actually a thing in GnG which happens if you take too long to kill a Red Arremer.

I always thought it was something they just made up for UMvC3 but I guess they were just that attentive to detail.

>>1654131
>Red Arremer
>Luminous Body
No fucking way.

>>1653732

You are an imbecile that sucks at Mario 64.

To this day when I replay a Metroid I find a room or an item I never chatched before.
That game is endless.

>>1654360

The word is caught, you imbecile. "Chatched" doesn't fucking mean anything.

>>1654365
He might not be a native English speaker. Quit being a dick.

>>1651331
Well aimed triple jumps and then a wallkick off the cage are now speedrunners do it.

thank you for your valuable feedback and thank you for visiting /vr/

It's just your memory being limited.

>>1652718
but doesn't a toad tell you this?

Whoever thought that up is a dick. It doesn't look like it happens in other Gn-

Well fuck that noise.

>>1652718
Shit, this is the first I've heard of this. And I still have the Nintendo Power guide.

>>1654685
Yes.

Just tried it myself, you can't Z-stomp from a cannon shot even while falling.
It took a few tries but you can land it with the cannon.

>>1655484
That's exactly how I did it the first time.

>>1655484
Guess I'm remembering wrong, then.

I do use the cannon though. Sometimes it takes five or six deaths, but that's okay because you have practically infinite lives.

>>1650746
I never knew Mario 64 had a coughing sound for when you stand still in poison gas. I also didn't know you could bounce off lava with the sliding kick.

>>1650903
You're a dumbass.

>>1650903
You must be REALLY fun at parties.

>>1655484
Yep, this is how I remember doing it. Like you said, takes several tries though.

>>1650746
Holy shit, I used to know about him.
I decided to play through it for all 120 stars, and I forgot all about him.
I remember now that he was what you needed to easily get the star in the cage.
I didn't remember to get him at all in my

>>1655639
There's a lot of cute details in SM64. Let him fall asleep and he eventually gets more comfy and eventually starts mumbling about pasta. He also has three different ways of getting stuck in snow, try plain jump, ground pound and diving.

>>1655484
Here we GOOOOooooo!

I can't remember how I found half the shit in SM64 when I was young. Playing it these days, I just feel like I always knew. It's an odd feeling not remembering. I'd love to watch someone who never played it before play through and see them figure it out, hoping it might rekindle those memories.

Probably the only thing I didn't know about was in the second snow level, there's a teleport by a tree. As for all the star related stuff, I got it.

>>1653758
wtf

>>1654685
i love you so much
i want to marry you anon

sum uf dem gif frey starz£

Until I read about it on the wiki, I never knew that this tower has a second entrance. And I was absolutely certain that I knew the game inside-out

I played the living fuck out of Ducktales as a kid and probably beat it a hundred times, but had no idea a 3rd ending existed for finishing the game with $0 (alot harder than it sounds)

The Aquatic Ruin Zone raft in Sonic 2.

Sorry for not going along with your shitty memes faggot.

>>1657153
what
theres a second entrance?

>>1656880
In you what? IN YOUR WHAT?

>>1651331
I've always used the cannon but it's a pain in the ass to do it that way

It takes a lot of trial and error

>>1651043

I remember playing SoR2 as a kid and getting walloped on easy because I just kept getting thrown around. I raged when I found out about that trick.

i only found out a couple years ago that in majora's mask, if you hit sakon with an arrow when he tries to steal the bomb shop lady's bag on the first night, he explodes
i thought i was going to be smooth and snipe him from atop the tree

>>1650759
you are autistic, even by /vr/ standards

>>1652749
That's one of the strangest "unlock everything" cheats I've ever heard of.

>>1657931
If you hit him with a light arrow, he dies. He just falls to the ground immobile.

>>1653070
similarly, in Mario 3 all Chain Chomps will break free from their chains once the timer reaches a certain number (which I forget at the moment)
