>ITT: Things you didn't realize were in games you had for years/decades

I just found out about the sequel hook in Megaman X1. Apparently if you wait at the ending screen for several minutes Sigma appears and tells you he's not completely defeated.

I have owned X1 since I was a young child and I never found that out. I'm actually shocked that I didn't know it, since I could've sworn I've stayed on the ending screen before (to listen to the music).

It may be a good thing that I didn't know about it, though, since I didn't get to play X2 until I discovered emulation a couple years ago and knowing I hadn't really beaten Sigma would've driven me insane as a child.


Anyone else have moments like that?

Don't know how I went all these years without seeing that.

Also, sometimes in the first Bowser fight, he'll start off just standing there thrashing about. Don't know how I never saw that either.

You're not the only one. The other day I was playing Sonic 2 on the Sonic Jam compilation. I found out a secret path in Chemical Plant Zone 2 that completely skips the water sequence, gives you free items and drops you off safely at the boss. I've had this game for decades. I've played it so much I thought I discovered EVERYTHING. I was wrong.

If you beat Chill Penguin, then go to Flame Mammoth's stage, all the lava is frozen over. If you beat Storm Eagle, then go to Spark Mandrill's stage, his carrier has crashed into the stage, opening up some paths, but causing the power to flicker. Things like that.

>> No.1288563

>>1288550
Really? I've known about that since I was a kid, but only because that's down a hill and the game kind of subtley hints that you should roll down it. I was really surprised when I found that out, either way.

Admitedly I'm the guy who posted the Star Light Zone thing anyway so I'm in no position to talk down on that, haha.

The debug button combination before Golden Torizo in Super Metroid. But then, nobody else knew about that either. Pretty amazing how people could still be finding out new things about it though, this wasn't that many years ago when we found out.
