Laser suit in SMW
On a serious note, T.A.C in Kirby Super Star, Milky Way Wishes. Crazy shit.

>>8427881
Laser suit?

>>8427574
What am I lookin at here?

>>8427273
Can't tell if this is bait or not. I played Crash so much that any of the secrets I didn't find on my own I found on accident.

>>8427885
secret exit from the donut secret, gives you cape+laser powers.

>>8427901
Normally you can't slide down a slope with that suit, unless you grab it when you're already sliding. The curious thing is that it has an actual sprite for that.

>>8427273
In Super Mario 64, you can actually featherfall with the winged cap just like the cape in SMW. Most people never tried this because they immediately triple jump or cannon with the power up, but it's especially useful in Shifting Sand Land when paired with the Surfing Shell.

>Obscure retro game secrets

You can get inside the Sharaku's pyramid in Astro Boy: Omega Factor and find an enemy from Treasure's Nintendo 64 game Mischief Makers. If you'll keep punching it, it will drop HP hearts.

>>8428342
Super obscure retro fact: It's not actually a Mischief Makers reference but a character called Ebiinu-Kun by the background artist Zoruge Ichizo that later also got a manga.

In the Xbox version of Metal Slug 3, the mission 1 music is a slightly altered, better sounding version then in any other release of the game. (That im aware of)

I noticed it cause the xbox version was first one i played and i played a shit ton of it. When i first played it in the anthology release and later reconfirmed when i got an mvs cart, the music sounded different then what i remembered.

In FFVI, the really cool skill of General Leo, Shock, can be learned by Gau by traveling with Gau to the Veldt and having him learn it from a "Retainer" enemy.

I post this one often but it just always amazes me when the topic of secrets comes out.

In Pulseman, one of the few games made by GameFreak before they went on to make Pokemon, there was a hidden cipher in the game's intro that wasn't found for over 20 years. It's not huge but it does tie into the game's plot and the events that took place before the game happens. Here's a translated version of the original video on niconico that posted about it.

Haunting

in one of the factory levels(dont remember which one), you'll walk through an area with two rising/lowering pistons behind the fence. You can butt bounce over the fence and land on both of them, even though they serve no purpose in the level

In Heavy Metal FAKK 2 you can trigger some hidden credits appearing on the screen if you somehow manage to get on top of the boobs of the statue in the Sanctuary of Blood.

>>8427273
>It was kept in the remakes,
Fuck off.

The fact that you could literally catch mew with a quick glitch in Pokemon red/blue.

Like, the one that actually worked. In Cerulean. I obviously never knew way back when, but went back once I found out and caught my own. I have no idea where that cartridge went, luckily I was smart enough to grab a copy of every generation before they went up to 200$ a pop but I wish I had my OG.

>>8427968
That's either just good QA at work in that they knew the scenario was possible and covered for it.

>>8427926
OP here, not bait, it's such a simple secret but I genuinely never knew about it for years nor do I see people talk about it when listing secret areas/lives etc in Crash.

>>8428506
Stuff like this would drive me up the wall as a kid. Like it's obviously just some small detail/joke put in my bored programmers, but because it stands out I would think it HAS to mean SOMETHING. Part of some elaborate secret puzzle that unlocks something special

>>8428432
was listening to this while watching that, pretty spooky

by the time you find out about this 1up and get good enough to retrieve it safely, you'll be so good at the game you will never need the life

In the PC version of RE1, and only in the PC version, there is an extra beretta clip hidden in the back of the Tyrant lab room.

Yawn's 2nd encounter and the Tyrant are the only bosses in the game which aren't given a freebie (you HAVE to fight them, no other choice). This could have been added because of that. Or it's a hint that the Tyrant is actually weak to the Beretta as it only takes 12-18 shots to kill it with it (depending on the difficulty)

In Mega Man 7 there are a bunch of things you can only do with certain weapons

>>8429067

In Pikmin 2, every 30 days starting at day 31 (mind you, this game can be beaten way, way before that point) two groups of these bugs will show up in the Wistful Wild, and killing them will give you a ton of potions.

If you pause Samurai Pizza Cats 4, hit eject, insert your cartridge into the VCR, you will not be able to retrieve your copy of Samurai Pizza Cats 4.

>>8430662
I disassembled my VCR and got my copy back, anon. But that's because I'm a bright kid. Seethe while I march towards my great future as a genius.

This minigame. Shame it does nothing if you play it well, would be nice if it did some shit like "reach value x to get more continues", like the Deep Scan in Die Hard Arcade.

>like the Deep Scan in Die Hard Arcade.
pic related.
I used to play this shit on my Palm m105.

>>8427273
In Tak and the Power of Juju, if you jump off a random cliff in one of the worlds, you can find a small cave with a picture of a monkey on the wall. It has no purpose besides just being there

Whats this from?

In the bonus end game 100 floor dungeon of Dark Cloud, if you let the music loop without being interrupted a certain length of time, it will change how it sounds. Not sure the exact length, discovered it by falling a sleep while playing and waking up to the music sounding different.

There are some messages outside the level boundaries in Jazz Jackrabbit by CliffyB.

>>8427901
Something that's beyond based.

>Tim is a dork
>Suck my dick
Oh, we never knew what we had until it was lost

The chips

>>8427273
In Super Mario Bros, there's a long undiscovered secret cheat where inputting start to the tune of the music in any given level causes the game to pause repeatedly

a couple I found the last time I played keen
