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.

The scarab gun and the soccer ball in halo 2
Also the flip elephant thing in 3

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...

>>376425829
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.

>>376428225

You can actually flip the elephant in halo 3. I remember one time in was in a Big team battle with two of my friends on that map where the elephants spawn opposite of each other. I was driving the one for our team and we just got the idea to ram them together. Ours started to go straight up and flipped over on it's back and for a split second it said "Hold X to flip... wait, what? How did you do that?" and then someone mashed the reload button and it flipped over instantly

I was so convinced that the mew behind the truck was real, I made up a story about having caught it, and would always tell people I had, like when I was fucking twenty I would still pretend to have caught it cause hey nobody can check whether or not I did right. Like just casually, "Yeah, I did catch the mew back then, on the island with that truck behind that ship. Yeah, I was that fucking smart even back then in middle school."

Figuring out that it was indeed a fabrication made me feel so mortalized. Not only was I living a lie for fucking ever, it wasn't even a convincing one, I hope to god nobody else ever figures out it's bullshit cause they'll think I'm just the biggest fucking phoney

He isn't completely wrong. Yuji Naka confirmed that there were talks and Sonic could have been in Melee but the game was already too late in development.

http://www.gonintendo.com/stories/254429-naka-on-original-plans-for-sonic-mario-teaming-up-miyamoto-wante

If Melee had about another year of development then it's possible that Sonic and Snake could have ended up in it.

>"You can defeat Balio & Sunder in the first encounter with Teepo, Rei, and Ryu!"
>"They've got a LOT of HP and strong attacks, so you'll most likely need to grind out a few more levels than usual."
>Guide goes so far as to list Exp, Zenny, and items you'll gain after the battle.

Balio can eventually run out of AP, and thereafter he won't attack. Sunder can be confused with Intimidate and tricked into attacking Balio. This basically sets up a stalemate until you attack Sunder again, breaking the confusion and causing him to attack the party as intended. However, it's impossible to win unless you use GameShark to give yourself an instant-death attack because they don't have any HP values and cannot be killed by normal means.

At the time, I didn't know how to modify my party's skills on the fly using the GameShark's memory editor, but I did crank up the party's levels to 99 and maxed out their stats.

I'm talking about the RSE one, located near the space center.

>>376425829
In Emerald I thought you could ride the rocket on the 100th go to find Deoxys or Jirachi. Also that if you had 3 Gyarados, you'd encounter any of the "???" Pokemon (Gen III's equivalent of MissingNo. to prevent actual glitch-mons).

I think if you had the N64 with Pokemon Stadium and transfer packs for your RBY game, if you beat the Master's Cup, you'd get Mew.

I don't think I was ever able to beat it for some reason, probably because I played favorites and was too young/stupid to put together a true functioning team to win the whole cup.

Pokemon Stadium didn't fuck around, there's no "hurr the last boss only has level 64 pokemon." no, they were all 100, and all up to par.
