Any game with teleportation ability

What's wrong with it? It's just for fun.

>>4665668
uhhh

Rubber-banding in racing games. Aim assist in shooters.

Internet

Vagrant Story's weapon system

>>4665661
Swinging your whip like that only makes like 1/2 or 1/3 of damage to enemies. Still, the whip is overpowered, but not as much as people make it out to be.
The bible on Rondo was far more broken.

>the bible

the bible doesn't have shit on Maria

>>4665904
Maria is a joke character.

>>4665668
I can't think of even one example

>>4666005
X Men for genesis
Nightcrawler lets you just shortcut whole chunks of levels

>>4665890
It's in one level and it's super easy to lose...

Does the Zelda Randomizer count?
Because the ability to turn the magic rod into an explosion launcher makes most of the game a joke... a fun joke, but a joke nontheless.

If not...
Well bombs in general are pretty op, but they're also a precious commodity.

Oh, and the boomerang in Link's Awakening.

>>4665837
The game is already ruined just for existing lol

>>4666152
did you know though

Has anybody in this thread even played the games theyre shitposting about

>>4666174
>>4666178
yes

>>4665661
It makes less damage when doing that, SOTN's whip wiggling is more powerful in theory since it does full damage anytime

>>4666235
The whip-as-shield and the diagonal whipping are probably the more game-breaking parts of that game's mechanics, as the diagonal whip obviates the axe

>>4665658

The Ether/Hammer combo in Zelda:A Link To The Past.

Enemys respawning in Goldeneye 64

>>4666005
chrono infantry in RA2

>>4666152
We have the faggot.

>>4666178
Is that so far fetched of you to believe?

FF8 Junction System and I say that as a VIII fan,

>>4665890
Hammer Brother Suit was way more OP and hard to hold on to.

>>4665658
Wouldn't say it ruins the game since you cant get it too early but holy fuck is this the most broken item in history. It's literally a win button.Kills anything almost instantly and heals you while it does. Destroys Galamoth in seconds. Takes out Dracula with no effort whatsoever. I still wonder what the point even was.

>>4666938
forgot pic

>>4666938
A lot of things in SotN are like this, they opted for coolness rather than cohesion, Igarashi said their m.o. was basically "oh man, wouldn't It be cool If the Alucard Shield had a power that did damage really fast and healed you?", and so they added many silly ideas by the staff like that

what the fuck is up with the quality pictures?

>>4666938
I didn't know Mario's Cape could kill Dracula.
I usually had to use a few Mechakoopas to kill him.
Does make some levels trivial though

>>4666258
haha came here to post this.
>>4666667
LOL thanks for the laugh anon.

>>4666178
I don’t play games, you fucking nerd.

>>4668879
Good one.

>white wind
>beta
>trine
>motherfucking big guard

>>4666005
Diablo 2.

>>4668879
Blue Magic is fucking game breaker on every game it had, no wonder on some games they made it a limit break or somo sort of Desperation Move.

Sweet FF5 and all those enemies dying to Lv X Death (forgot the number).

>>4666174
holy shit this is the funniest version i've seen pertaining to the doki jokies

>>4666149
boomstick wasn't in the original game so i doubt randomizers count
good point about the boomerang, though

>>4665658
Railgun. Quake 2 is too easy because of this.

The Gold Sword in Zelda ALTP pretty much makes the last temple a fucking joke.

>>4671006
Same with the Fierce Deity Mask on Majora. When I first played the game, I assumed you couldn't face Majora without getting all the masks in the game, for some dumb reason. So I went and found every single one, went back to the moon and got the fierce deity mask, made Majora a bitch.
Now I'm actually doing another run of the game without upgrading the sword.

>start at 30hp when you die in metroid
>nowhere to recharge to full like zelda's overworld fairy locations

NES metroid's just a badly made game in general

Spark in Kirby Super Star is boring, unfun and only used by casuals.

>>4672221

Pretty sure it wasn't even in that game but ok.

>>4672607
I think they meant Plasma

Whenever I tried to play SMW with someone they would always ask why I never use the cape nor the blue yoshi and actively avoid them instead, then I would reply that you're not even playing the game anymore if you use those and they would look at me like I was crazy or something.

>Spammable high damage or high healing fullscreen spells and items
Ultima, Cure3, Thunder3, Ice3, Luminaire, Flare, DarkMatter, the triple techs, MegaElixir, etc.

All of them make the standard battles and sometimes even boss battles trivial once you attain them.

>>4672651

That's usually the point though, you get those spells at the very end of the game and they reward you for getting that far by letting you feel powerful. It really gives you a feeling of progression when you can just stomp enemies that would have given you trouble before. I know I felt like a badass sending random mobs to space with BlackHole. Usually that kind of thing is impractical for bosses though, outside deeply broken games like FFVI.

>>4666851
More like game FUNNING

>>4670036
Not many bosses die to that spell unless you cast Old status and then know exactly how long to wait until their level drops to the needed multiple

Pic related can be an actually tricky platformer at times, but if you have the parachute it pretty much ruins any sense of challenge to the game. The final boss against the snake is a complete joke with it.

The real powerful mechanic?
Boss HP overflow.

>>4672665
I think Black Hole is actually a decent spell because it is an insta-kill with a relatively high chance to miss and doesn't work on bosses except for those orbs around the Son of the Sun.

>>4665658
I think you're absolutely correct about the cape op. They should have made it like the racoon tail in SMB3. As is the cape makes the game way too easy.

>>4666258

That's why the game punishes you pretty harshly by removing it if you're bad enough to lose several times in a row while in possession of such a broken item. I think it's cool that an item is capable of tricking a mediocre player into thinking they're well prepared to trivialize anything until the game gets just hard enough to give them their first game over (probably on the genie stages), and from then on they're in over their head, wishing they had played the whole time without such a cheap item.
