Huh, never knew that. Apparently they replaced it with a barrel in the GBA version, so it must have been left in accidentally.

Speaking of accidents in DKC3, they left out the G in the North American version's Rocket Rush.

bowser is god

Is DKC2 : Diddy's Kong Quest not meant to be "Diddy Kong's Quest" ?

>>6465678
Can we not post stupid "lore" bullshit?

Kong Quest is a pun on the word Conquest

No, Nintenreddit is onto a new meme and must drive it into the ground as fast as possible.

>>6466057
the text and pics are in the game retard

>>6465678
Ialdabaoth you mean

>>6466057
who cares its funny

theres a triforce in mmx5

This is the only large ramp in the entirety of SA2 that does not feature a boost pad in front of it.

This room and mirror/door thing found in the ship level of Rondo of Blood serve no purpose.

>>6466323
They probably intended for it to take you to 5', but ran out of dev time.

We should email Koji Igarashi and see if he knows anything about it.

>>6466323
What if it's one of those secrets that hasn't been discovered yet? Didn't they find something like that in SotN a few years back?

There's this room in Kirby's Dream Land 2 that only has a picture of an orca whale and it can only be seen if you have Kine + Spark ability.

>>6466352
I think it really is just left-over ideas that got scrapped. On the PSP remake, you can find a CD item in that room, so at least they made it serve some kind of purpose.
>>6466348
Igarashi doesn't know shit about Rondo of Blood, he only worked on SOTN, and only a bit, since he joined the team in mid-development. We should as the actual director of both Rondo and SOTN, Hagihara.

>>6466389
>We should as the actual director of both Rondo and SOTN, Hagihara.
Does he have a contact?

>>6466348
>>6466389
>>6466429
Do you fucking clowns realize you're talking about a game from 27 years ago? Director or not, no one is gonna remember what the purpose of some random room was from that long ago.

Mario Bros 2 is a sprite swap of the Japanese game Doki Doki Panic.

>>6466167
PLACAJE

>>6466446
Not only do people remember that kind of shit, they enjoy thinking about it. In the transliterated words of some old nip: natsukashii, ne

>people posting DidYouKnowGaming shit and SM64 retard theories
Sad.

In Kirby's Adventure, there is a very well hidden room in the first level where you can get a UFO. You can't keep it once you finish the level, and the level is braindead easy so you don't really have a use for it. It's just a neat little extra for those paying close attention to sprites.
In Colonization, there is a few unused/cut buildings, and a cut specialty for colonists. It was Master Teacher, and was originally supposed to make it so you could have your experts teach people quicker. It was most likely cut since it's rather easy to get experts from plain colonists.
In Might and Magic 2, some stats are bugged, but you would never notice unless you are power-leveling way above what is required to beat the game. Stats can go up to 255, but Endurance and I think one other are bugged and will overflow past 160-180, making it entirely possible to accidentally cripple your HP gain on leveling up. Not really an issue, since you aren't likely to go above 40-50 for any stat unless you are power-leveling for no reason.
In Maniac Mansion, there is a room with a staircase that is blocked, and a houseplant the game tells you is named "Chuck". After receiving a large number of letters asking about it, one of the devs finally announced that the staircase was a red herring, and Chuck was just background flavor. In the game itself, the staircase only links to the line of text telling you it's out of order, meaning there was never anything there. Still kept many gamers guessing and trying to figure out what was at the top of those stairs, and how to gain access.
In Wing Commander, the "Thanks for playing" message after you exit the game wasn't intentional. It was actually some random error message they couldn't figure out how to get rid of, and just hex-edited the error message into the "Thanks for playing" message so people wouldn't know. This was never fixed.

>>6466528
>complains about people posting "DYKG shit"
>proceeds to mention incredibly well known things
sad

there is a secret cross in mario 3 that you can only access by wasting a p-wing on one of the underwater levels in world 3

>>6466323
That reminds me, there's this one room with the plant enemy, right before the alternate boss on stage 1.
It's cool that this enemy is unique and can't be found anywhere else, but it's oddly placed there. It's not a particular hard enemy to defeat (it barely does any meaningful attack), and there's nothing to find there, either, just a dead end.

Did you know? SMB2 is actually a little known japanese game called Doki Doki Panic.

>>6466389
I wish it was more common to see romhacks that put cut content back in. I recently got the Fallout 2 restoration pack running and it feels much more complete this way. Stuff that went nowhere in vanilla suddenly leads to entire dungeons and alternate story arcs.

>>6466458
>>6466560
I can't find any source on this. Can you prove it?

>>6466563
I'm still waiting for a SMW romhack that uses the beta sprites. Or at least some of them, the ones that could be used in the game without changing core design elements, like Yoshi.
I don't want a crazy Kaizo romhack, I just want regular SMW, but with the beta sprites.

>>6465223
In Super Mario 64 if you have the Winged Cap you can fall slowly by holding A. This is never explained anywhere in the game nor is it ever required at any point, it's simply a continuation of previous flying powerups' features in the series

>>6465223
In Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow, Focus Energy didn't work properly, it was supposed to increase rate of critical hate but instead it decreased it.

>>6466278
that screenshot is from Ground Scaravich's stage, which was MMX6, not MMX5

>>6466674
It works on Stadium

>>6465223
Mentioned it in the other thread, but Tails' favorite car is the Lotus Super Seven.
That's why he's associated with the car from time to time.

>>6466767
I think he actually uses it in one of the racing games

>>6466775
Yeah, his car in Sonic Drift 2 is modeled after one.

>>6466057
This. Lore threads are fun, but in their own thread and not spreading its contents all-over.

>>6466741
yeah because that game was programmed by an actual competent programmer

>>6466859
What is the coloring technique they used for the car? Is it airbrush?

>>6466993
it's crayon, anon

>>6466995
No that is too smooth for crayon.

>>6466998
no, no it isn't. do you even use crayon? lol

Not quite pointless, but I still consider this amusing.

The Paris map in Twisted Metal 2 lets you burn the Mona Lisa, revealing a button combination. This code is supposed to unlock the cyburbia map from TM1 for the 2 player mode, but due to a typo (the actual code is down up L1 R1) this code is utterly useless.

>>6466993
Probably. I'm not sure what techniques they used for the Game Gear games' artwork.

This "No Humans" sign is only ever used one time in the entirety of Doom

>>6466368
It's a hidden door.

>>6467065
Probably just an unfinished level. Still kinda creepy though.

>>6467004
I remember hearing there was a GameFAQs page that listed this code as a "hidden FMV sequence" lol

>>6467001
Ya lol

beat a airship as an animal and get a special message

>>6467062
wtf did not know that. very cool

>>6467065
but aren't stretch boos already dead

>>6466585
They will not be able to contain themselves. Enjoy spastic kaizofests with beta sprites.

In the PC version of Resident Evil, and only in the PC version, there is a Beretta clip hidden in the shadow near the door in the Tyrant lab room.

Probably a hint from the devs that the Tyrant can be killed with less than a Beretta clip. That or someone ran out of ammo during the boss fight and got pissed.

Here’s a few I can think of off the top of my head.
>Every “Normal” world in Banjo-Tooie has five warp pads, except Cloud Cuckooland, which only has two despite being one of the largest levels. Cauldron Keep also has two but it is a linear level that contains the final boss as opposed to being a normal collectathon level like Cloud Cuckooland.
>Green berries in Super Mario Word are only found in the final level (Funky) and the intro screen.
>In Mega Man 5, there is an enemy called Rounder that only appears in one screen in one stage, right at the very end of Protoman Castle Stage 1. It is a useless enemy as it just circles Mega Man blocking his shots, but it appears after all other enemies in the stage so it doesn’t actually shield anything. They can’t hurt you directly either since they always move out of range if you try to jump into them. After a few seconds they fly off, never to be seen again.
>In the original release of Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, if you open up the park finances menu/window and a female parkgoer’s window at the same time, you can drag funds from the park finance window into her window at which point the screen will change and the parkgoer will approach you and bare her breasts at which point you are given the option to fuck her. You can jack off to this if you want, but it costs a lot of money and will likely bankrupt your park.

>>6465223
In the Paris sewers immediately below the city streets, the 1.0 version of the game has a thin layer of water that was removed by the time of the GOTY version. My guess is that it was removed because if you gib a person on the streets and their gibs fall down one of the grates, it will float and make lots of obnoxious splashing noises.

>>6465223
In Deus Ex, in the Paris sewers immediately below the city streets, the 1.0 version of the game has a thin layer of water that was removed by the time of the GOTY version. My guess is that it was removed because if you gib a person on the streets and their gibs fall down one of the grates, it will float and make lots of obnoxious splashing noises.

You can knock down a gravestone in Worms Armageddon by shooting an arrow at its base.

In Zero Wing, beating the game multiple times in one run gives you different endings. In the Japanese version, after beating it 3 times, the developers just started throwing random jokes on the end screen in place of a real ending since they assumed few people would ever see them anyway. You have to beat the game 30 times in a row to see them all.

Did you know that Super Mario Bros. 2 wasn’t originally a Mario game at all? It was actually a Japanese game called Streets of Final Fight.

>>6468635
what. it was called doki doki panic. what are you talking about?

>>6468301
that or they knew pc gamers in general are total shitters. also, that's not hidden at all

>>6468721
No, you’re thinking of Tetris Attack.

>>6465223
there is a hidden secret area in the "Crash Crush" bonus round of Crash 2

Shit like this makes me wanna play everything in english. People should learn english.

>>6466323
>>6466552
Rondo does feel unfinished at times. It has that "beta" aura to it. Some levels look incredible good, some others are straight up early builds that were never finished.

>>6466993
Could be airbrush, could also be a highly detailed 3d render (by old standards anyway).

>>6468498
Are the first three real?

>>6465223
Mega Man 3 had a rushed development, so there's some things here and there about it.
One notable thing is that Dr. Wily and Dr. Light had a joint logo reflecting the plotline. The logo actually is in the final game, on the batteries that show up a few times in Magnet Man's stage. It's worth mentioning that the graphic designers never "localized" the logo like Dr. Light's was in MM9 and Powered Up, so even in the english versions it's "RW".
Likewise, the Wily Castle jingle cuts off while displaying the map because it's too long. The theory goes that the jingle was actually meant to be played during the cutscene with Wily escaping, meaning Capcom never made a shorter version to use. The Wily Wars cuts off the second half of the song, but for one reason or another, it's so short that the song loops.
https://youtu.be/6gUdH41TEWU
https://youtu.be/189jixOPu7w

>>6469237
Just checked the Wily Wars version: It's "RW" there too.

In Unreal's Return to Na Pali expansion pack, there exist blue skinned Skaarj (not to be confused with the blue super Skaarj near the end of the main game) that will appear in the back-to-back snow levels exclusively on the easy difficulty. On higher difficulties, these are replaced with Mercenaries.

>>6469337
weird, were they really expecting people to buy and play the expansion for Unreal and still be uncomfortable playing on anything but easy??
It's not like Unreal is all that hard

>>6469237
I had always wondered about what those were supposed to be, this makes a lot of sense. Thanks anon.

Pic is the original concept art for chocobos from final fantasy. Fun to imagine them like this.

There are a bunch of messages outside the level boundaries of Jazz Jackrabbit.

>>6469636
That looks like Moebius

>>6470816
Amano was very inspired by Moebius once he became a freelance artist.

>>6466585
My man Yoshi looking like an Ornithomimus

>>6466585
>yohi
that motherfucker makes me uncomfortable

For the original Zoo Tycoon (+Complete Collection):
>If you name a guest Alfred H a lot of birds will start to flock on the map and the guests will freak out and run from your zoo
>If you name a guest Zeta Psi all guests' shirts will turn yellow and they will puke
>If you name a guest Mr [followed by a colour] (Eg: Mr Black, Mr Red, Mr, Blue, etc) all guests' shirts will become that colour
>If you make an exhibit, fill it with water, put an object blocking the gate, and put a guest inside it, the guest will drown
>Animals like lions and elephants will fight guests if you put them inside their exhibits, but some larger animals such as carnivorous dinosaurs and sharks will eat the guests

>>6470881
>>If you name a guest Alfred H a lot of birds will start to flock on the map and the guests will freak out and run from your zoo

That one's actually really useful as an exploit because it makes every single guest leave the zoo immediately without actually changing their happiness and your zoo's rating. So if you fucked up and pissed off a lot of guests you can just kick them out to help recover happiness faster, if you want a quick buck you can kick out all your happy guests to turn them in benefactors, or if you just want to edit a bunch of paths you can kick them all out to get them out of the way.

>>6470881
If you put a penguin and a herbivore together, the penguin will kill it. When the penguin dances, there's a minor glitch on its sprite that makes it pink in some spots.
If you download and open a program called APE (Animal Project Editor) and edit any animal, you can see biomes that were planned to be in the game but were scrapped, such as scrub, boreal forest, and waterfall.
If you edit the wolf specifically, you can see an unused animation of the wolf swimming. The wolf is meant to be able to swim, but since for some reason it's programmed for it to not be peaceable in water, you can never see the animation in the game unless you edit the wolf's code in the animals.ztd file.

There's only one red gem spring chest in the entirety of spyro 1

excuse the remake screenie, like most remakes it makes it a pain in the ass to find pictures of the original.

>>6470881
>>6470934
>>6470935
ZT1 has an absolute glut of easter eggs and dummied out content, it's a shame there isn't any one place documenting it all (the TCRF page for the game is like the tip of the ice berg it's missing so much)

Also not retro. Wish it were though, I think everyone who had both always thought of it like a counterpart to RCT.

>>6470850
Maybe more farfetched, there's also that chocobos were inspired from Nausicaa, and Miyazaki states that Moebius had an influence on the film/comic

>>6465223
Crusin' USA head. Freaked me the fuck out as a lad.

>>6466859

>>6466352
Yea, turns out there's a whole 'nother playthrough with the castle upside down. Whod'a thunk!

>>6469636
That design was used in the FF OVA "Legend of the Crystals"

>>6469237
I'm still mad they didn't use .gif related

>>6470881
The triceratops cheat was nice

>>6467004
There's also a code input to unlock Sweet Tooth in the New York level.

In the PS1 version of Rayman 2, antitoons are present.

>>6471427
Pic related was supposed to show up when Wily first appears, really sad we didn't see it

>>6469636
>>6471414
It was also used in the FFIII manga (though the traditional Chocobo design was used for a joke comic at the end).

>>6468562
Sounds like another fun endeavour for the weekend to me.

>>6469212
The last one seems a lot less likely than the first three tidbits.

except that things are usually translated into english from japanese. people should learn japanese

>>6471578
Yeah it's quite annoying that they had a bunch of nice graphics and they didn't even use them, also there was supposed to be an intro just like in megaman 2

>>6471592
japanese's too needlessly complicated and gay

>>6466057
can we not post self-absorbing dreck as if you give a shit?

>>6467001
It could very well be crayon. Crayon is used pretty often in smooth shading like this

This is probably well known but I'm playing the game for the first time and stumbled on it

During the chapter title screens, if you hang on them a bit instead of progressing, a cute rendition of the smb1 overworld theme plays

>>6466278
That symbol has existed for over a century before Zelda was even an idea.

>>6471991
Pretty sure the guy is trolling

at least I fucking hope so

>>6471997
You never know. The entire fucking Hojo clan rolls their graves whenever an idiot points out a triforce. That's why Japan has so many damn earthquakes.

There are a few of them from memory, serve no real purpose other thank looking different to a regular barrel

>>6465223
the platform graphic are actually rotting pieces of human meat

Cho Aniki - Bakuretsu Ranto-hen's Mami 19 is named like that because she was the winning submission of a fan contest but the creator forgot to name her so the devs simply took the creator's name and age instead.

the ability to save the animals who help you in supermetroid really brings the game to the next level

>>6472729
Gross

>>6472729
where are the proofs?

>>6466045
>Diddy Kong's Quest
Fuck, the entire time I've always read it as this.

Wing Commander actually doesn't exit properly and crashes back to DOS instead.
Since the devs couldn't figure out what caused the issue they simply changed the error message to a thank you text.

super mario brothers 2 for the US is actually a reskinned Doki Doki Panic, because the original super mario brothers 2 (super mario the lost levels) in Japan was considered too difficult for the American children

Because that evil cunt "Peach" completed her conquest with you as her stooge.

Here's the one-and-only semi trailer found in an official Doom level that I love posting

In Half-Life, one of the rooms the Nihilanth sends you to has a secret scientist hiding on a platform.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxA0X_c6Tn8

In the Famicom game "Mr. Gimmick!", a singular, motionless enemy can be found on the interior portion of Stage 2. If the player uses the second controller, they will be able to take control of the enemy. They cannot follow the player through the rest of the sage. This is the only time this happens in the game.

Woah, I never knew this. I wonder if this is a bug or cut content, it's mysterious anyway.

bumpan just for you

a weird bug in gta2, if you start by doing the yellow phone missions for the redneck gang in the 2nd district(by killing other gang members to raise your respect to that level) before doing the green phones then you get to do the red phone misson "almer mater" twice

in the first district, the tv van and the stretch dementia only appear in traffic outside of a mission ONCE EACH

In Sonic & Knuckles, after Knuckles has let the player across in Sky Sanctuary Zone, if the player stands in a certain spot and bow (duck) with Down, as is customary in Japan, Knuckles turns around and gives a "get going" gesture.

ALways reminded me of the Stephen King / Ned Dameron monsters.

In Beetlejuice for NES, during the house level, you can pick up Toilet Paper from the restroom. It is unknown what this item does and it is most likely a joke item since no one has discovered it's true purpose.

99.9% likely as the Spanish release clearly reads "Conquistar De La Diddy".

Donkey Kong was initially going to wear a mining helmet in the mine/cave levels in DKC1, but the developers couldn't get the sprite working well enough in time or something, so they replaced the helmet with Squawks the parrot who follows with a flashlight.

>>6466585
If SMW restauration then first make the stuff work that's already in there. Like all that world map stuff which is unused, like the fishes that would likely work as the hands in SMB3, that weird blue bird and the many other things there.

An asset swap to beta isn't that hard also anyway.

Anyway i'm also very sick of all the Kaizo trash, yes Kaizo is trash and cancer for the rom hacking scene. All thanks to Lunar Magic..
We see only few people do actual romhacks to SMW now..

Rare information on Mario beta content translated from Japanese source:

>Did you know that Maro was initially not meaning to have big purple head of penis, but it was changed for international releases?

>The Japanese cultural difference of jewish penis party means that American house moths were increasingly disillusioned about original penis. In 1991, Nintendo outcry reached out to the American family, but Shigero Miyamat swelled at thought of little red penis and fought against big purple. Donkey Kong was released in 1995 with no changes, but international release had once again reiterated smegma press funnel. Big smelly purple penis head made way to American living room, and japanese cock ritual once again complete with much enjoy present pull horse gesture. In the original Japanese ROM files can be extorted to regain little dinky dick of red gesture chameleon.
