Kind of related, but the opposite. I remember when I first played Star Fox 64 I accidentally flew through the waterfall on the first level and went on to the alternative path. I was so excited, but I didn't know how I did it and thus couldn't recreate it no matter how many times I tried.

When I told my friends about it, they all said I was crazy and probably just dreamed it, but I knew that I did it for real.

It wasn't until I replayed the game a decade later that I finally found out how I did it.

So suck it fags, told you so.

I managed to accidentally input the "all characters" code for Clayfighter 2 once.

The first time I played OOT, I played on my cousin's game, starting in the Temple of Time. However, my memory of that experience is completely different from how the game really is.

I remember it being filled with lots of corridors, and there being several redeads inside.

I don't know why I remember it being like that, but I still do recall it so vividly, even though I know I must have dreamed it. When I first got the game for myself, I was so confused because the Temple of Time was so small, when I remembered it being so much bigger. I kept thinking it would eventually become an entire dungeon, but it never did.

You might not've been imagining it.
The Colecovision and Intellivision versions of Donkey Kong featured Mario with a different colour palette than usual. I don't remember which was which, but one had a yellow-skinned Mario in Robin-egg-blue overalls and a red shirt (more akin his more contemporary appearances when, at the time, the standard was red overalls and a blue shirt) and the other had him with a skin-colour that matched the Yotsuba B background colour which is sort of baby blue.
But then again, you're an itty bitty baby, itty bitty boat twinkie house so those releases might be far too old pour vous.

This isn't a false memory, but I'm not sure how to redo it to verify.

I was playing a fairly crap pokemon red cart (dead save battery + dirty looking connectors) and went into a pokemon centre. After the pokeballs went on the machine and the noise played, the thing just stopped. The balls remained on the machine and I couldn't leave the pokemon centre. If i remember properly, I couldn't open the start menu. Re-visiting the counter made the healing noise play again, but didn't get the nurse to return my pokemon. As I had none in the box, etc, It was basically game over there.

Had it just crashed healing, that would have made sense, but being able to walk around the pokemon centre without pokemon was odd.

I have a false memory of a secret in Super Mario World.

In one of the fortress/castle stages with an auto-moving "snake" platform of empty blocks (the kind that makes all sorts of twists and turns and Mario has to keep moving to stay on top of it), it eventually goes straight down a long pit.

I have a very clear memory of riding the platform down the pit to discover an alcove with a one-up and a door that led to the room just before the boss door.

Many years later, I replayed this stage and rode the platform down... and found nothing. And died, of course, for falling into the pit.

How did such a seemingly clear and concrete delusion put itself into my mind? I do not know. How many other memories of mine are just as illusory? How could I know that they are false memories? What litmus test could I possibly hope to find to reveal the exact details of moments so long gone in the past?

Maniac Mansion. NES version.

I could have sworn that the Edisons would actually follow me when I ran out of a room. I also remember them just instantly jumping out and grabbing me when I opened their bedroom doors.

Neither of these things actually happen in the game with the exception of them incidentally following the player into another room because it's on their way to wherever they are headed. The memories are so vivid that it still blows me mind that they aren't real. I guess it's just barely possible I happened to open a bedroom door just as they were leaving on more than one occasion.

I have a "Thing I recalled doing but everyone told me was impossible, but then turned out was possible" if that counts.

Sonic 3D for the Mega Drive, I accessed a cheat screen somehow by doing nothing, as far as I was concerned. I told a few people and they didn't believe me. At the time, I was crouching and kind of fell forward a little, then steadied myself on the console. Then a message came up saying I'd unlocked the secret cheat screen or whatever. Couldn't get it to work again as I didn't know what I did, if anything. I sort of started to doubt the memory.

Years later I found out that knocking the cartridge slightly causes the level select screen to appear as a kind of default emergency boot, or something. I was the kid in the playground who made up crap for once, but it turned out I didn't!

I knew That Kid in gradeschool as well, and he also claimed some real bullshit about Majora's Mask, which really piqued my interest at the time since OOT was basically my favorite game. He had told me that the game would let you turn into a vampire, which would let you suck the life out of enemies to kill them, and would actually increase your maximum health. In retrospect, this wasn't really that silly an idea, and in fact I think I know where he got the idea, since I recall on the back of the Majora's Mask box, alongside several other ingame screenshots is a shot of the animation where Link transforms into the Zora form (pic related), which I can see a little kid interpreting as a vampire.

... Of course, he also claimed some other stuff that was less than plausible, such as that when Link was hit by an enemy attack, he would yell out "Shit!" and "Crap!"

One time I was in the water town, Saria trying to figure out how to get to the bridge to appear. and the game started glitching. For some reason it transported me to the other side of the bridge and I emerged in the mountains with all the caves and I thought the game was all fucked up because there were so many of the black square caves on the screen. After awhile the game froze and when I re-started it, of course it was normal again and I had no idea what I did to make me get to the other side.

It would work with fishing. The glitch is with Cinnabar Island itself.

The way the glitch works is due to the fact that Cinnabar Island has no data for wild pokemon because it's a town, so it just uses whatever data is already there.

In the missigno glitch, it's the trainer's name because of how the tutorial battle in viridian switches around data. In the Safari Zone glitch, it's the data for whatever zone you just left.

So it's entirely possible you did do that.

While playing Donkey King Country as a kid, I unintentionally activated the warp between the first level and second level. This warp is activated by mashing the jump button while walking from the first level to the second level in the overworld map, and warps you a few worlds and levels ahead.

I tried to do this years later in front of several people at a party to much embarrassment, because it was patched out in later revisions.

I also recall throwing a metal keg at a beaver in the first level and not killing it but "skinning" it; it didn't die but it's sprite looked like glass. Haven't been able to replicate it or find an example online, so I think it was just some childhood memory bullshit.

Goof Troop, I remember seeing a red pirate (Jester) throwing a sword instead of a barrel as they usually do. Green pirates (Jack) throw swords so for a while I tought Jesters could do both. Probably what confused me is that there were both of them in a room and the sprites overlapped. Jesters are my favorite kind of enemies in the game because of this though.

Nobody at school believed me when I told them a guard in Goldeneye spawned without a weapon and followed me around doing tactical rolls while attempting to fire an invisible gun. It was on Facility, one of the first guards in the level. I've never replicated it or heard of it from anyone else though.

Those fucks also didn't believe me when I said scientists will get out a gun and shoot you/throw grenades if you hit them a couple times.

I remember renting OOT from a Blockbuster when I was really young. There was a save file on it that had all the medallions and crap on it already, so I loaded it up.

I remember playing Wizards & Warriors III for the NES and getting to the point where you're supposed to levitate up into the darkness and fight a dragon on some floating platforms, but instead of a dragon, there was a fish that had six floating eyes. The eyes would spin around in a circle and you'd have to use your projectiles (I believe you threw axes or something with a certain knight level) to individually knock out each eye. I think the fish shot fireballs out of its mouth.

I played a version of Earthworm Jim which was missing one fucking vital thing. The last level with with the queen didn't have those small green zapping things, and I remember the KO bugs couldn't be killed, but the vital thing which is what fucked me over was the queen, the last boss was missing those green slime platforms you were suppose to shoot from, they most likely were added in a latter version once Earthworm Jim 2 was being worked on. Instead they gave me grappling hooks which I was suppose to somehow shoot while grappling, and sadly most games don't allow you to do more than 1 type of action. So instead I could jump inside Queen-Slug-For-A-Butt's mouth and instantly kill her, without even needing a plasma gun. That last part left me scratching my head, even to this day I can't find any intel on it.

Now for something which isn't true at all, aka more relevant to the thread's title.
Super Mario Forever, I got told that there's an invisible pipe in one of the clouds and you have to be really good at jumping to reach it. So I keep trying to jump on top of the clouds like a crazy motherfucker, even to the point I use debug cheats.
I got promised something over the top which at the time was pretty believable for Mario Forever, the game with more secrets than Harry Potter.
Supposedly inside that pipe there was a different world which contained a mario rpg game.I got told you get quests from the mushroom men and you enter dungeons and get items like shovels for digging and treasure chests. Basically like Simon's Quest, but with Mario or like Wario but with Mario.
Even got told that they expand on Mario's plumber status and utilize the pipes in a creative way like the original Mario Bros arcade. Where you have to fix clogged pipes, throw enemies inside the pipes, escape the excess water from the pipes, rebuild the pipes so the water flow and teleport works good, clear the zone of enemies so they stop breaking the pipes.

I know I'm not dreaming on this one.

When I started a game of Oddworld: Abe's Oddyssee one time the first screen froze and there was a voice of Abe speaking which was comprised mostly of audio from the first cutscene stitched together.

I remember it ended with him saying: "So, GET ME OUTTA HERE and all the others."

I've never replicated it. What the fuck guys?

I remember when i pressed some buttons really fast in the red circle (pic related) i was teleported to the snow world.
to this das, i cant remember if this really happened or recreate it
anyone else had a similar story?

[Anonymous No.1618952]

First of all, I was adamant that I released Marty the Thwomp from his prison in Bowser's Castle on MK64. I somehow opened the bars, and we traded places. He did the Thwomp HRHRHR laugh and flew out, and the bars closed on me.

The main thing is just... this game. Equinox, for SNES. I dunno what it was, but playing through it or even listening to the OST gives me some serious chills. I just associate its dungeons with this intense dread for some reason.

Also -- and this is fairly recent -- I was dicking about on OoT Master Quest on the GCN with Action Replay codes. I can't remember what I did now, but it entailed using Light Arrows and
moon jumping at the same time... or something. Either way, eventually I started firing nothing. I had spare arrows - infinite ones, even - and it wasn't making the empty quiver bowstring twang, it was making this long, drawn out, "shimmering light" noise, kind of like the sound that plays when you fall down a hole into a grotto. No arrows were fired, it was just a cone of light that made that sound.
Never worked out why it happened, or how to replicate it.

Anyway. Main thing was Equinox. I tried playing through it again recently and just had to turn it off when I got to this dungeon. Just feels like something horrible is gonna happen.

Ok guys, hear me out, this has haunted me for years, it happened when I was about 10.

In Shining Force for genesis, you know that useless fuck Yogurt, right? You meet him in chapter 1 and recruit him in chapter 4. However, in chapter 7, in the first town you begin, the one with the descendants from the ancients, he once appeared too. Standing below the shop, to the right of the headquarters, and to the left of the school/church, I was walking when Max suddenly stopped, and then Yogurt came running, slammed himself into the buildings to the side, then ran offscreen. I've never had it happen again and haven't heard anyone mentioning it, does anyone have any idea about this?

Mashing a certain button (don't know which one, but I think the jump button) on certain corners of the map teleports you to certain levels in DKC. On the map you posted that can happen on the corner between level 1 and 2 and the last corner before that croc face. Not sure about that snow level part though.

Gotta agree with you on that.I really love the internet and the commodity it is nowadays,but having to discuss and hear these crazy theories of things in video games that you don't know were true or not was really cool.

In Beyond The Beyond you can button mash during attacks to increase the frequency of criticals / counters. I was an adult but my friends didn't believe me until arcade sticks with turbo were released and I proved that shit to them.

Renting actually fucked me out of playing Crono Trigger for a long while. I had no concept of New Game +, so when I started and it took me right to Lavos from the beginning and I had no idea I was doing something wrong, I just disregarded it and didn't try it again until years later when I learned what I was doing wrong.

I had this odd memory that by landing in a very specific part in the water in this stage, you could unlock an island/underwater level.

Only last year did I find out that the island was from THPS3, and not 2, though I don't remember where the underwater part came from.

Actually, I remember reading on a magazine when I was a kid that you could find the secret Moon World if you went to vanilla dome 3 (the autoscroll level with lava), reached the end of the level, or the middle of the level, and started flying to the beginning, if you did without touching the ground, you could find the moon world exit.

The skeleton dudes are in the Shadow Temple, they fight nearly identically to the wolf dudes that you come across in the Forest Temple which is probably why the other fellow mentioned that.

Is Vanilla Dome the place inside the hill? Because there totally is a moon in one of it's levels if you flying toward the beginning from the middle.
It's not a level, it's just an item. It gives you three one-ups.
There are a couple other ones in SMW, too, but there all in obscure places you'd never normally want to get to.

A long time before Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen, I remember going to the viridian forest in pokemon yellow, after I filled the pokedex, and mew appeared at the first tree. I chased him through the grass until I cornered him, and then I battled and caught him.

My friend told me about this a while before then. When I did get pokemon firered, I wasn't that into it, because it sucked, so I didn't find out until gen 4 that there was an event that took you to an island to catch mew.

I wish I still had my yellow

That kid once told me that if you collected all the stars in Mario 64, talked to yoshi on the castle roof, and jumped on his back before he ran off he would take you to a 3D version of yoshi's island. Naturally I was a tad bit upset after I finally managed to collect all the stars.
