Topic: Things you didn't know about certain video games for years

I never realized that in the Minus World, unlike 2-2/7-2, the midpoint starts Mario inside a pit.
What a ROMhack thing to do! (then again, it is a glitch level after all)

Gary's raticate and that gary was a orphan. I knew that the girl in his house was his sister but it never occurred to me he was a orphan. I read the manga to that says his parents died in a car crash but i forgot that until i saw the thing that he was a orphan. I also did not know everything above until i saw it on didyounowgaming.

I always looked at that like a coincidence. Nintendo wouldn't do that. If they did it on purpose however...They are the ultimate troll.

I never knew that.

I would write some things I didn't know about certain games for years, but my mind's gone blank at the moment.

For years, I never knew that the PlayStation was a 32-bit system. I thought it was 64-bit.

It took me years to figure out that in Melee you could play with teams hahaha. I stumbled upon it by accident.
Oh and changing the color of your bowling ball in Wii Sports (Also by Accident)

A friend of mine showed me a little secret about the original Pokemon Red, in the intro sequence where a Gengar and a Nidorino fight.

Let it run once and notice the Nidorino's mouth is not visible in the last frame of the sequence.
Now, reset and pay attention at the intro:
If you press A on the exact moment the Gengar hits the Nidorino, the Gengar will be pushed back a little bit more, evidenced by the fact Nidorino's mouth is now visible in the last frame of the sequence. Were you to press A in any other moment of the sequence, it will cut the scene into the Title Screen.

In all my years, I certainly never knew it. Easter egg or not, I can't find info about it anywhere. Can anyone check it, I was quite startled by it, while my friend said he found it playing short after the game came out.

EDIT: We have experimented with it and apparently while Gengar dashes to actually hit the Nidorino, if you press A you can stop it's dash, making it look like Nidorino is jumping further. I can post pics but I don't know the guidelines.

^That's actually pretty damn interesting. I'll have to try that someday.

Look at Super Mario Galaxy's 2 box. Now let's take the letters out this time: U R M I A Y. Now let's turn this sequence around: Y A I M R U. Now let's use our imagination to spell out a phrase: YA I M, R U (Ya, I am, are you?)? :3

@Lz I knew about the U R Mr Gay thing, but didn't know about that. Lol.

I think developers get bored some time and just want to do something fun to see if anyone would notice

yep, just like the disney cartoons

There is Cheese in Luigi's Mansion?!

I didn't know that until 3 years ago and I refused to believe it until I replayed the game last year.

In Ocarina of Time if you shoot the windows im the part when you meet Zelda, a guard pops
up and throws a bomb at you.

@Dev: The metal mario reflection thing is cool!

Those weird aliens staring at you in the freeze flame galaxy in SMG2

There was a certain chest in Twilight Princess that I didn't know was there for a while. Even worse, it was at the most simple temple: the first one.

I didn't know until fairly recently that Birdo is a gender-confused dinosaur..

I didn't know that in Super Mario 3 the hammers you throw when wearing a Hammer Bros. suit can kill Boos. Found it out on accident like a year ago.
