I used to play Magic darts all the time when I was little and I couldn't believe it when I randomly turned into a stone-faced guy after hitting the fly as the alien.
Knight Rider hold start and select you get tge end story and credits at power on or reset Tgere is also a debug/cheat mode using the A and B buttons. I never figured out how to reliability enter it. The method I used was to hold B and press A repeatedly it let's you stage select Warning you can soft lock your game by having every upgrade and being unable to spend it 1:31
A cool secret: If you press start at the beginning of Where's Waldo for the NES, and then just as the game loads, swap out the cartridge for any other game, you'll have more fun.
On Magic Darts in some games, there will be a fly buzzing around the dart board. If you select the normal alien as your player, use his time stop ability, and actually hit the fly, the game will also switch your alien with the Spock twin.
And there's actually an advantage to this. The Spock like alien has a much stronger Time Stop ability (you won't get that wiggly waver effect anymore, you can literally move your dart wherever you want.) Others I remember There's a way to make the chimp throw backhand, the robot telescope its arm almost up to the board, and the strong man (if you select the heavy darts) to throw them so hard they make the wall shake.
The Castlevania III trick you mentioned is actually used in the Grant speedrun, funny enough. Since he can only use the weakest subweapons, the dagger becomes best for this particular fight. Not only does it deal 4 damage on its own, it freezes him in place and allows you to land a few more hits before he recovers!
We miss you Larry. Glad to see you posting comments around the internet. Apparently we browse many of the same websites. Every time I stumble upon a comment on an article from you it makes me smile and hope for a swift and full recovery for you.
the cool thing about the super spy hunter pong mini game is that you are actually rewarded extra lives by beating it. however its almost equally as difficult as the game itself so good luck lol
Can I just say how much I appreciate you not censoring the 8-bit nudity, even though I'm sure youtube wants you to. And I'm not just saying that cuz I'm a perv.
The Fire n Ice one is your reward for completing the game. The ending sequence tells you how to unlock the extra levels. I actually did a full clear of the game recently on Switch, and boy was the rewind feature helpful every time I messed up minutes of careful setup with a mistimed drop .. The Chain Chomp one was in the Nintendo Power guide, but all the rest were new to me. For your next one, you should include Final Fantasy's sliding number puzzle ( press A+B 55 times while on the ship, earn gold for completing it) and the hidden messages on the level terrain in Snake Rattle n Roll.
Here’s a great one! Play Action 52. As soon as it boots up the title screen, unplug the console and put a Pokémon Red/Blue cartridge in your game boy (either works). You’ll instantly be playing a much better game!
@BigOleWords Just don't mention to the guys that you and Kate are getting married... 😅 (Love the Jeepers Creepers skit intro btw! My wife and I quote some line from Mr Show almost daily.)
Okay, you might know this one, but in CLASH AT DEMONHEAD, there's a part where you encounter your wounded buddy Joe in Route 32. If you keep going back and forth, Joe's health deteriorates, until he's nothing more than a skeleton. Yikes.
When I was a kid, I rented Magic Darts and Robocop 2 as my family watched their rental of City Slickers, and I ended up finding the Darts easter egg by accident. Don't even remember how I did it, but I remember that Alien changing into a Spock knockoff, and now that I KNOW how to access it officially, I guess Young Me simply used "SEX" as a name.
Man, some cool secrets I never heard of. Especially from Mechanized Attack. I was shocked! I thought, "They did it. They actually did it!" Love Kickle Cubicle! Underrated puzzle game along with the Lolo trilogy...
Hey there, BOW WOW. I've been finishing a lot of games recently (alas, very few in my backlog), and now that I'm on this craze, I'd like to see you cover NES endings. Are they COMPLETELY CRAZY? What about the TOTALLY DISAPPOINTING? Maybe one or two sent a tear rolling down your cheek. Who knows? If you need pictures, I've got plenty! Of course, you'd need to include the ending to Stanley: Search for Dr. Livingston. It's genuinely crazy and almost worth going through the whole game to see.
Fantastic video. The only thing I know about these Easter eggs is that Family Feud was developed by RARE and (from what I've heard) a lot of British game programming 'culture' at the time revolved around beer and the pub. Maybe there was a Mr Swankey who liked beer.
You know that there is a secret in the NES Game called Rollergames, it has to do with the final boss in the game You see right as he appears at the top of the screen if You time it correctly You can jump kick him “right” into one of the columns in his lair rendering him defenseless then You can just walk up to him and unload Your attacks on him until he’s defeated.
9:45 If you wait around after the credits play, the game actually tells you about this code. I love Fire and Ice to death, and easily consider it the best puzzle game for the system. It's so polished and well put together, and maintains its challenge without resolving to cheap or obtuse mechanics.
Magic Darts has a lot more of those Easter eggs! Sadly I don't remember the details, but good old Nintendo Power back in the day had an article about the tricks you can do. The robot can extend his arm out to cheating levels of close, the strong man can throw his dart so hard the screen shakes, the monkey can do a trick shot from behind his back, and the basic alien dude can freeze then re-aim the dart mid flight!
On top of all those glorious Easter Eggs, you also introduced me to Dragon Strike, which looks like a fantasy version of Tornado Low Level or Cyclone! I must now play this!
I know a good one! In Days of Thunder, by Beam Software, there's an elaborate multi-screen slideshow, with caricatures of the developers and interesting text
@@BigOleWords No! The time I saved a school camping trip by teaching a team of volunteer chefs how to prepare 75 lb of tri-tip for a potluck in 3 hours. Gotcha is #4. :)
The thing that gets me about that Pong game is how much effort they put into it. The ball seems to actually bounce off a table in the background and will sometimes change direction. They could've just put in regular Pong and it would've still been cool.
I came across your channel in my feed, and am absolutely taken with your frank, wholesome personality and entertaining videos. Looking forward to watching more. Subscribed!
The chain Chomp was actually a continuation of the first Super Mario Bros. I forget how long you have to wait, somewhere around 90 seconds, but the hammer Brothers will give chase and once they do, if you can escape, there is a 24k pure gold star in your future.
@@BigOleWords , in SMB2J, for Worlds 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, and D, you don't even NEED to wait 90 seconds for the Hammer Brothers to chase you, as they begin to do so immediately. However, for Worlds 3, 4, 5, and 6, the same rule from Super Mario Brothers also applies to this video game. These rules hold true for any version of the video game as well, yes, even for Super Mario Brothers Deluxe/DX, though, in technicality, only Worlds 7 and 8 are able to be discovered by legitimate means, though the coding for Worlds 9, A, B, C, and D can be found in the video game, yet it was not on the cartridge for some reason. Also, the 90 second Hammer Brother rule works on Versus Super Mario Brothers and Super Mario Brothers Special, while a modified version of the SMB2J rules applies to ANNSMB (All Night Nippon Super Mario Brothers), and, in that case, it acts like Super Mario Brothers for Worlds 1 to 8, but in Worlds A to D, it acts like SMB2J.
Not sure about NES, but several Rare games have extra translations only accessible by hacking. Some that I know: Donkey Kong Country: there's a language select menu to choose English, French, German. This is accessible from the options menu in European versions, but only by hacking in US versions. Diddy Kong Racing: US version lets you choose English or French, but with hacks you can select German or "Japanese" (which is all placeholder text). Star Fox Adventures: the US and JP versions are the same. If you hack your console to bypass the region check, the game switches to whatever region the console is. It also has French, German, Spanish, Italian - available from the menu in EU versions but only with hacks in the others.
Okay, I thought I knew basically all there was to know about NES Easter Eggs, but that Castlevania III one definitely had me doing a double-take. I love that, even now, there is random little secrets to discover in my favorite classics.
okay the kickle cubicle one is new to me! yeah would've been nice to just play as kid niki but what can you do. neat easter egg all the same!! wasn't ready for the mechanized attack one though, holy hell how would anyone figure THAT one out?! have not heard about most of these!
Not sure about NES games, but on the underside of some PS2 games (I think all the silver DVD games) the playstation logo is in the blanling interval. Then on the N64, stop and swap actually exists in Banjo Kazooie and works if the game (or rom hack) puts the right data into ram.
I really appreciate and enjoy when I can actually learn something new from a UA-cam video. Most retro game channels (especially ones focused on the NES) are total ass because they just regurgitate the same few facts that everyone in the community already knows about. While I knew about the Chain Chomp breaking loose and the Pong minigame in Super Spy Hunter, the rest of these were totally new to me! I was especially happy to learn that one of my favorite games, Fire 'N Ice, has an extra quest of 50 levels. I'll have to try that out later. And yes, I know that this has all been documented before by sites like TCRF, but it's cool to see a retro game channel talk about the stuff that others tend to ignore. Good shit!
The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes cartoon was actually based on the *sequel* to the movie of the same name: Return of the Killer Tomatoes, starring George Clooney
In Magic Darts, if you played the alien and held A and B together after shooting, you could control ypur dart and hit the fly and turn into that guy as well. There were a couple other moves too. The monkey had a decent shot as well..
This one isn't NES, but in Super Punch-Out while on the title screen if you press Y, the right bumper on the second controller, then start on the first you get a free fight against anyone (which isn't much, but it helps if you want to just fight one guy for practice,) but the real fun comes in after you choose an opponent and get to the fighter info screen B and Y on player two and then start allows you to play 2 player, player 2 is the opponent.
If you ever do Genesis games, the game RBI Baseball 4 has a bunch of bible verses when you enter specific passwords. I’ve never seen anyone else cover that Easter egg, but you can look up the codes online.
I don't think this is an easter egg, but I haven't seen anybody show this anywhere on the internet so it seems like a bit of a secret. In the game Demon Sword for NES, if you stand around in the same location for long enough without advancing the screen all of the constantly spawning enemies will be replaced with super fast skeletal tigers.
@@BigOleWords It's awesome now, it was nightmare fuel for 8 year old me when I thought it would be a smart idea to farm red and black orbs + keys from enemies on the first level.
Smb3 best secret was the spiral tower in the skyworld..where if you continue to fly upwards into the bricks surrounding the pipe it lead to a secret area up beyond where the screen could still show the character.
Don't know if this is known or not, when I was a kid it was well known, but if you enter the name ZELDA in the original The Legend of Zelda game, the dungeons are all in different locations.
Wait Dragon Spirit was released for the famicom? In north america i think it was only released for turbografx, never heard of a JP famicom release either. Is castle of dragon within the same franchise as dragon spirit? They're not similar games at all and don't think namco did castle of dragon
@BigOleWords yeah your right, they added a subtitle to it, I assume its going to be very different from the arcade but is it a good shoot em up for the nes?
4:36 That is one yellow controller. Looks like your SNES matches. BTW, will you ever cover anything not just NES related? Before I saw that Super Nintendo console, I thought the original NES was the only thing you owned.

what happens? I can't find any information on it
What if I throw in The Great Waldo Search?
@@nxtvim2521 You don't play Where's Waldo, that's what happens. The game is more entertaining when inserted in a toaster oven.
I literally lol. Thanks 😁
Instructions unclear, hastily inserted Win Lose or Draw and had literally negative fun. I demand a refund on this video game secret.
On Magic Darts in some games, there will be a fly buzzing around the dart board. If you select the normal alien as your player, use his time stop ability, and actually hit the fly, the game will also switch your alien with the Spock twin.

Similar, then, to the sliding number block puzzle in Final Fantasy that rewards you gold for completing it.

@@BigOleWords , in SMB2J, for Worlds 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, and D, you don't even NEED to wait 90 seconds for the Hammer Brothers to chase you, as they begin to do so immediately. However, for Worlds 3, 4, 5, and 6, the same rule from Super Mario Brothers also applies to this video game. These rules hold true for any version of the video game as well, yes, even for Super Mario Brothers Deluxe/DX, though, in technicality, only Worlds 7 and 8 are able to be discovered by legitimate means, though the coding for Worlds 9, A, B, C, and D can be found in the video game, yet it was not on the cartridge for some reason. Also, the 90 second Hammer Brother rule works on Versus Super Mario Brothers and Super Mario Brothers Special, while a modified version of the SMB2J rules applies to ANNSMB (All Night Nippon Super Mario Brothers), and, in that case, it acts like Super Mario Brothers for Worlds 1 to 8, but in Worlds A to D, it acts like SMB2J.

Hey thanks for saying that!
If you ever do Genesis games, the game RBI Baseball 4 has a bunch of bible verses when you enter specific passwords. I’ve never seen anyone else cover that Easter egg, but you can look up the codes online.
I don't think this is an easter egg, but I haven't seen anybody show this anywhere on the internet so it seems like a bit of a secret.
In the game Demon Sword for NES, if you stand around in the same location for long enough without advancing the screen all of the constantly spawning enemies will be replaced with super fast skeletal tigers.
That’d just awesome
@@BigOleWords It's awesome now, it was nightmare fuel for 8 year old me when I thought it would be a smart idea to farm red and black orbs + keys from enemies on the first level.
That alien in magic darts was in another game on the Genesis called Combat Cars
Is it any good?
Nintendo Power actually mentioned the chain chomp secret back in the day.
Oh, c'mon man. Any kid that played SMB3 and had their mom tell them to do something RIGHT NOW knew about the chain chomp freedom trick! :)
Magic Darts was one of my regular rentals and I used the alien code all the time because his stats were better than the rest.
The music in fire n ice is bangin!
Yeah it is!
Smb3 best secret was the spiral tower in the skyworld..where if you continue to fly upwards into the bricks surrounding the pipe it lead to a secret area up beyond where the screen could still show the character.
Don't know if this is known or not, when I was a kid it was well known, but if you enter the name ZELDA in the original The Legend of Zelda game, the dungeons are all in different locations.
I mention it briefly in Part 1!
I could be wrong about this. But, wasn’t it also possible to get the secret darts character by hitting the fly?
Huh, no idea!
6:55 is the other dragon fighter?
I was thinking of Dragon Spirit, but you’re right, that is another one!
Check out the elaborate Easter Egg screens in Days of Thunder.
That was one I couldn’t get to work!
SMB3 is where I learned the slang phrase "no dice"
Hahaha nice!
What a drag!
Not about the video, but congrats on Guzan and team for knocking out Messi and Co. Give Rob the Job. Good luck with the rest of the playoffs!
No idea how after this season but yeah, lovin’ it!
Yes Super Spy hunter is a little talked about and kick ass game
I really appreciate the aspect ratio.
4:36 That’s a severe case of jaundice
was the "should have married a metroid programmer" comment a reference to the "love keiko" easter egg in Super Metroid?
Wait Dragon Spirit was released for the famicom? In north america i think it was only released for turbografx, never heard of a JP famicom release either. Is castle of dragon within the same franchise as dragon spirit? They're not similar games at all and don't think namco did castle of dragon
Dragon Spirit was released on the NES/Famicom. Castle of Dragon is not related, just similar sounding names.
@BigOleWords yeah your right, they added a subtitle to it, I assume its going to be very different from the arcade but is it a good shoot em up for the nes?
4:36 That is one yellow controller. Looks like your SNES matches. BTW, will you ever cover anything not just NES related? Before I saw that Super Nintendo console, I thought the original NES was the only thing you owned.
What can I say, they yellow! And yeah I collected a ton of games for differ t systems, I just wanted to focus specifically on the NES
Your collection is a dream ✨️👄✨️
