No. 7: The Poor Erdrick
Final Fantasy calls out Dragon Warrior by putting their main character’s name on a tombstone. “Here we are. We’re taking the RPG crown and putting you in the ground!”.
Also, there is a really strange sliding puzzle that you can play in game by holding A and pushing the B button 55 times. Weird.
No. 6: The Bald Bull
The 22 year old secret revealed! When Bald Bull charges at you there is a camera flash that tell you when to punch. What?! It may not be that big of a secret, but it is fully how nobody talked about this for so long.
No. 5: The Super Mega Awesome E-Tank
In Mega Man 5, a full M-tank (we’ve been saying E-tank, oops) can kill everyone on screen and turn them into 1-ups. If you use an E-tank while you already have full life, the bad guys turn into 1-ups! Something very helpful that many people have probably accidentally discovered over the years.
No. 4: The Masters of Disguise
In Super Mario Bros, killing the first 7 Bowsers reveals that these fake Bowsers were actually minions in disguise.
World 1: Goomba
World 2: Troopa
World 3: Buzzy
World 4: Spiny
World 5: Lakitu
World 6: Blooper
World 7: Hammer Brother
No. 3: The Legend of Michael’s Cat
In The Legend of Zelda, there is a second quest that can be accessed after beating the game once. However, if you enter your name as “Zelda”, you can skip straight to the second quest… Nice!
No. 2: The Whistles of Super Mario 3
You knew we had to include these. Just the idea that you had to duck down and appear behind the level to get that first whistle astounds us still today. The whistles always made us skip most of the game once we discovered them, but who else decided to make a pit stop in the big world?
Honorable Mention: The Minus World of Super Mario Bros.
We’ve mentioned this one before, but we think it’s really cool. More of a glitch than an Easter Egg, so we are giving this one an honorable mention.
No. 1: The Justin Bailey of Metroid
Most password systems on the NES were easy to crack and figure out. But the password system in Metroid was notoriously hard to crack due to it’s fail safe double check. That’s what makes it extra strange that these passwords were found because they almost had to be found by accident. Next step, documentary on “Finding Justin Bailey.”
