Hover boots in A Link to the Past. People said you could find them in the dark world woods in an area of the map that is actually inaccessible. Then Ocarina of Time came out and actually did have hover boots.

that they're fun

The scarab gun and the soccer ball in halo 2
Also the flip elephant thing in 3
The mirage island thingamajig in pokemon ruby/sapphire
The "play as Master Hand" in smash/brawl/melee/cantremember

The "Defeat a certain amount of enemies in cruel melee to get Sonic and Tails" rumor

the mew in the Lt. Sugre trash can.
white tunic in OoT

Pretty much every single one of them. God bless the early internet days.

Melee was legit

pic related is true, though.

>t. that kid

This wasn't real, was it? Me and my friends probably spent a total of 6 hours one afternoon following some guide to get it to spawn.

the truck with mew in one got me yeah

DANIEL FOR FUCK'S SAKE I'M NOT FALLING FOR YOUR FAKE BULLSHIT AGAIN! I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN YOU WERE FULL OF SHIT WHEN YOU KEPT BLURTING ABOUT PIKABLU EVEN THOUGHT IT WAS DEBUNKED!

This one got me too. Legit disappointed they weren't in the game.

How mentally retarded do you have to be to believe that shit?

no it wasn't, as a kid i voluntarily lost right after you get the pass from the ship captain so the boat doesn't leave the harbor. i progressed through the game until i could use the rock moving ability, got there and guess what happened? the truck didn't move. fuck you chris for making me waste my time

Never

all the halo ones were true
except maybe that one

I would always fall for any rumor that went something like

>Go to specific location in [GAME] and do [400 THINGS IN A ROW] flawlessly and you'll spawn [SOMETHING RIDICULOUS]

I was not the smart one in school

>Rumour

Rocket ship in Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald
Only because it had 0 actual in-game purpose, and they made Jirachi and Dexoys both event only. which was dumb.

>map name literally says "mods"

Fuck off Josh you lying sack of shit!

Isn't that from the AGDQ run where they dicked around in memory to literally code it in?

Why are pokemon games filled with useless shits like that?

Why would you put a divable area if it isn't accessible and surrounded by rocks?

Why would you block a door leading to an empty room with boxes and plants?

Why would you create an unique sprite for a white rock with the only purpose of telling 2 lines of fluff?

Why would you leave an empty cave filled with zubats and only useful with an obscure device only sold in japan?

The list goes on...

Probably only pic related and some retarded stuff in OoT.

I remember borrowing another cartrigde, trained a machamp level 100, traded a pokemon with HM in pokemon stadium, restared a game just to see if

1. the truck was there
2. Mew was under.

I was excited to found out that the truck was indeed real, but nothig happened with my machamp i could not push it.
I was conviced that it was my fault and that mew was still under the truck and gave up. Took me more than 20 years to realize it was a lie.

No, that webm is from the Japanese only Pokemon Green.

I was convinced Bigfoot and aliens existed somewhere in San Andreas.

Cut content. It's easier to wall off cut content than straight up delete it and having to go through and check everything to make sure nothing got messed up.

>the soccer ball in halo 2
That was a real thing though

Devs do this all the time to debug stuff without having to actually play the game to a specific point.

e-Reader and Mystery Gift.

You can play as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Shadow in the free Project M EX mod (based off a heavily modified Smash Bros Brawl.) Also contains the Sm4sh characters, along with Isaac, Bomberman, Geno, Waluigi, Ridley, Lyn, etc.

I fell for the mew under the truck meme, manly because this one day in school some kid had a mew on his game and when asked how he got it, he told me about it.

The flip the elephant thing in Halo 3 is real, the message to flip it trails off to 'wait, how did you do that?'
And Mirage Island is definitely real, although was that only in Emerald?

It's from twitch plays pokemon back in 2014/15(?)

Was that really 2+ years ago? Fuck me.
Praise Helix

Sonic and Tails in melee

>In vanilla WoW you could climb up Mt. Hyjal from Winterspring and see the remains of the world tree and Archimonde's skeleton and also some construction caution partitions from Blizzard
>you just have to somehow find and jump up a convoluted series of invisible ledges
>mfw it was true

max coins on last bowser fight gives you infinite lives.

all of those are true you fucking mongoloid

>yfw

Yes. Even better, someone programmed a virus that can be transmitted by trading pokemons that enables the truck mew. Imagine if that had spread on the playgrounds 19 years ago.

Funny story with that actually

>be me
>hear that rumor
>decide to try and get to hyjal, not really sure how to climb walls and shit
>just before giving up, walk to the Hyjal gate
>see the animation of Far Sight being cast near the gate
>look around, can't spot anyone
>wtf?
>get a whisper from some guy
>shamanguy: yo look up
>look up to see some fucking tauren glitched inside the hyjal mountain wall
>wtf
>says i should kill myself and he will rez me
>i do, he does
>I fall into Hyjal
>it's dope af
>after exploring for a while, decide to slow fall off of that rock that looks like a diving board
>so fucking high up I glided straight over Felwood entirely, ended up falling into the coast just off of Darkshore near Auberdine
>random lowlevel night elf on boat from Teldrassil arriving at the dock sees me falling from the sky into the water
>his face when

I miss vanilla WoW and all the weird crazy shit that happened. Have more stories like these

They're all real you dumbasses. user was making a joke

this and complete ce halo in 24 hours for flamethrower and that one where you had to play 24 hours for mewtwo in smash on the n64 fuck me trying both for months.

I wasn't
All that shit is as fake as the holocaust

>Why would you block a door leading to an empty room with boxes and plants?
Oh my fucking shit, I always had this in my mind that on the sevii islands one house had boxes blocking a door and I always knew: That door's functioning but I never tried to cheat my way through them or look into the house with Advance Map.

I tried every Pokemon rumor once no matter how much bullshit it seemed because I had nothing else to do, and on the off chance it actually worked I'd be the coolest kid fucking ever. I even bought another copy of the game so I could try everything without ruining my main save

did any work?

Sheng Long and Pokegods

>not just using shaman far sight
There is a ton of shit shamans could easily see. Im still shocked they never axed that ability.

No I wasn't.

>mind vision
>can chain mind vision from one mind vision'd target to another target that that target can see
>travel across multiple zones just chain-hopping until it breaks

good times

Defeat the Pokemon League 251 times for Dark Professor Oak

I wasn't user

Luigi in Super Mario 64

How many different ways was there to revive Aeris?

Sonic was going to be a playable character in Melee but they canceled it

tomb raider nude code... just ended up beating off to her clothed, triangle tits and ass.

You could battle Professor Oak.

The annoying thing is that it was actually true, but only with Gameshark. It pisses me off they didn't implement that for the gen 3 remakes.

In OOT I thought I could have another horse instead of Epona

pls share more

These threads and personal experience/glitch threads are the best part of Sup Forums.
always pretty consistent with on-topic posts nearly the whole way through

well don't fucking jinx it then

The Temple of Light in OoT.

>hear talk of some mew rumor
>don't understand what all the fuss is about
>just got one using my gamegenie

my best friend hated me for using it but then I gave him one and he wasn't mad anymore

You can get the triforce in OoT.

I used to read a blog by some neckbeard edge lord named Video Gamer X and he convinced me.

Fuck you too mate

The worst part is you can actually win the race with the brown horse but as soon as you leave the ranch it despawns and you're on foot, and the summon song now works normally and gives you Epona anyway.

In pokemon after 100 hours your data will be deleted, at the 99 hours mark I deleted my data in leaf green and have never made it to the post game islands since. Fuck you Trent Im glad you smoke meth now you action replay faggot.

>In Dark Souls, if you hit one wall it will reveal an illusory wall with a chest behind it. If you go behind this chest there is another illusory wall that opens up to a secret area full of Basilisks. Past this area is another super secret area at the bottom of the world where you can fight flying hydras and see the secret ending of Seigmeyer's story. At the end of this area there's an invincible dragon who can give you the ability to turn into a dragon and breathe fire.

Fucking memers.

Born in 83 so i was a horny teen when tombraider came out, there was a fake cheat that told you to dance around with the character in game to a spice girls song I believe, if done properly then lara would lose her clothes, i tried for hours, pic related as it refers to it (see bottom).

Can you get epona as young link?

I remember reading somewhere is was possible....but thinking about it the way to get her was convoluted and thus likely fake

Could get a cow for ya tree tho.

memories, my nigga..

>Karazhan Crypt
>Stranglethorn hidden waterfall area
>IronForge airport
>Old IronForge
omfg there's so many I can't even remember clearly
>that Elwynn Waterfall you can see in the flight path

I couldn't get the brown horse to jump over the ranch walls
I assume fake

You're thinking of Snake and how he was requested too late. When melee was in development Sega hadn't gone 3rd party yet.

git gud no invincible dragon tail sword for you

If I'm remembering right, the blocked off room in sevii islands was for some trainers you could battle through e-reader cards and the white rock in sinnoh was for some sort of distribution event.

Best one coming through

"You can get Mew in Pokemon Green".

Tomb Raider Nude Cheat
You know, the one that makes you explode.

Not vidya but I tried every single method I heard to get these cunts to reproduce

awwww shit nigga

I used to get those at a local pizza chain in the midwest

they also had one of those tabletop pacman tables

i might have named a magikarp MEW

Wait....what????

The mew ones mostly

Even keeping them in your ass for 9 months?

Weren't there kids in your school who told you you could make them have a baby by putting two in the same pod? Or putting one in the freezer? Or soaking it?

Don't call me retarded, I was 6. All 6 year olds are retarded.

Luigi in Mario 64. I tried one method that had you running around in different levels doing all sorts of random shit, then got pissed when I watched the box on the ship slide back and forth 64 times and whatever they said would happen didn't.

>that kid in school said it was possible to unlock Mac as a playable character in Mega Man X3, replacing Zero
>game was full of hidden shit like the gold chip so I fell into it
>rented the game about seven times before discovering it was false

I think we both fell for the exact same meme. That box still triggers me to this very day.

I mean what the fuck is it even for anyway? You'd have to be the biggest mong on the planet to get hit by it. It's just there, for no goddamn reason.

(you)

There is a Mew if you press A on that truck

i used to visit the space station in pokemon sapphire for a year straight because of a rumor that said if u did u would catch Deoxys.> i never caught him
youtube.com/watch?v=WRkDSkiaBRI
youtube.com/watch?v=Q8VcBlBh1vY

the white rock was for the shaymin event iirc

Yup, I did the same thing by chugging Noggenfogger elixir for slow fall and landing in the ocean right next to Auberdine

Wasn't there a similar house in one of the islands in R/S with a locked door that never opened up? There was a video on Youtube about it where the dude gets inside it with some hacking, and it cuts off to a picture of the Majora's Mask.

Only two

-A fake code to unlock the bosses in the first SF2 for SNES in EGM (or at least I read it as such)

-A requirement to unlock Raichu in Smash 64 posted on IGN

being retarded isn't a joke
