Did you find Star road by yourself?
>>343090718
Yup. Accidentally found the secret in the first boo house. Got pretty excited and told my babysitter that I found more game inside my game.
>>343090718
finding star road isn't as hard as finding out that there are secrets on each star road level to find the special world
but yes i did
>>343090718
It was a joint effort between me, my mom, aunt, and cousin.
>>343091016
back when games had secret worlds in their secret worlds
Yes I did

>>343091016
>finding out that there are secrets on each star road level
You should know that by default.
Red dot levels always have 2 exits. Yellow dot levels only have one.
I think my dad found it first. He used to play the shit out of Mario World, but never touched any other vidya. My mom was the same way with Mario Kart.
I was the first one to find that motherfucker of a hidden level, Soda Lake, though. Like fourteen years later.
>>343091163
Blue was the best but I always like stomping shit with yellow.
>>343090936
thats cute
>>343090936
It's a sad life realizing that with the direction video games are going, nobody will ever find more game in their new games ever again.
>>343090718
Yes, I first found the one in the Forest of Illusion, then the Donut Plains Star Warp, then the one in Vanilla Dome, the one in the Valley of Bowser, and finally the one in the fourth world (Cookie Mountain/Soda Lake/the bridges). Actually, I found the secret exit in the fourth Star Road level, didn't beat the fifth level at first, later got the secret exits for the first three levels after finding the Donut Plains warp, and finally did find both exits in the fifth level.
The only secret I couldn't find on my own
>>343092146
>tfw nowadays more game inside the game is behind a paywall
>>343091231
I honestly never noticed that until I replayed the game when I was like... 14 or something. Back when I first played it when I was 5 or whatever the hell I was, I think I just played the game and beat it. God damn it the SNES was a good system to grow up with.
>>343090936
>tfw find less game inside my game
probably was with help from my older sister
>>343092510
Seeing those Torpedo Teds on the credits scroll drove me fucking mental for years.
>>343092510
I always had to sacrifice a yoshi to do that one.
I remember going "HOLY SHIT" finding this guy for the first timeand getting my ass kicked from him
>>343090718
Did you find special world?
None of my friends believed me in the 90s that there's a stage that tells you're a SUPER PLAYER
How many of you scrubs could beat Gnarly without blue Yoshi?
>>343093067
Nope. Never knew it even existed until fairly recently. And I bought this game at fuckin RELEASE
>>343093067
I couldn't get past Tubular for a long time as a kid but then I got to Outrageous which kicked my ass
>>343093170
Anybody can beat gnarly without a Blue YoshiTubular tho
>>343092510
Wait, what?
>>343093170
Which one was Gnarly again? I remember Tubular being the real ball-buster, but last time I replayed the game I had a lot of trouble with the one in the woods, which I didn't remember bothering me that much when I was younger.
>>343091105
Damn, that sounds dirty. I bet your aunty nailed your mom with a strapon.
>>343090718
I remember knowing there were 96 exits, but not much else and getting them all. Took two summers as a kid because I only played games when I couldn't actually go out and play.
>>343093029
Monstro town had tons of cool shit in it. love that game
>>343093341
You had to go under the flagpole at Cheese Bridge to unlock Soda Lake.
>>343090718
>only have a wired 360 controller
>playing SMW with a 360 dpad
suffering
>>343093450
Gnarly is the first level in the Special World
The forest level you're talking about is Outrageous.
I could never beat Tubular as a kid.
Also despite finding every secret exit, I never noticed that stages with one have a red dot instead of yellow until I played it again as an adult.
>>343093170
Way Cool pls
>tfw played Super Mario World again
>didn't feel as good back when i first did it
>>343093613
It's no mario 3 that's for sure
>>343093602
Doesn't a message box in one of the levels in Donut Plains outright tell you red dots have secret exits?
>>343092930
You filthy casual, don't talk to me or my yoshi ever again.
>>343093341
Yeah, that was the only secret I never got, welcome to the club!
>>343093761
fucked up my sentence
meant beat
>>343093587
Oh, what was hard about that level? It's just a vertical shaft with like three enemies in the entire level. I can think of a lot of regular levels that gave me a lot more trouble than Gnarly.
WHERE THE FUCK IS TORPEDO TED
>>343090718
Of course I did I was like 7. No fucking internet spoilers
>>343093450
>>343093587
Gnarly - Tubular - Way Cool - Awesome - Groovy - Mondo - Outrageous - Funky
>that names
>>343090718
yes actually. inside vanilla dome. it's the easiest one to find.
>>343093970
Soda Lake. See >>>343093579 and >>343092510
>>343093965
Nothing was hard about Gnarly unless your platforming skills are shit (If that's the case though how the fuck did you make it there)
>>343093583
Try playing it with a steam controller. Then you will know true suffering.
>bullet bill
>torpedo ted
>missile ?
>>343094126
Why do people buy steam controllers
they don't look useful for any particular game
>>343094178
Mack
>>343094236
It's ok for some games but it functions best as a wireless mouse.
I wouldn't say it's worth 50 dollars by itself but it still isn't terrible.
>>343093067
>mfw when teleport back to Yoshi's Island
THE COLORS
>>343090936
There were two moments in my life where I was geniunely amazed at finding shit in a game. First was Star Road and the special stages and second was that you could return to Kanto in Pokemon Gold/Silver and actually earn all badges there. I honestly felt as if my game world suddently doubled in size and my mind was blown by it.
>>343092530
>>343092146
The new Super Mario 3D World has a secret world that you can only get if you get all the collectibles in the game
>>343093990
>No fucking internet spoilers
Don't act like there weren't ways to learn secrets.
>>343094425
freaked me out when the koopas turned into weird mario things
>>343094425
And all the changed sprites.
>>343090718
yeah and I never cleared the game properly because I found it.
>>343094178
What else would go with the excellent adventure theme?
>>343093029
this fight has the best rendition of fight 2 in my opinion.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSjby9Kq7Xc
i also like the rewritten dialogue they used for the english version. i appreciated him not being completely evil like in the japanese one.
>>343094869
Game magazines used to tell you secrets back then as well.
>>343095348
what
>>343094178
mark
>>343094887
We need back Masked Koopa
>>343094539
Every Pokemon game would be so much better if they let you go back to an older region. Being able to go back to Kanto is a huge reason HeartGold is still my favourite Pokemon game. That and the fact they kinda pulled out all the stops since they were originally going to end it there is pretty good too.
>>343095713
i still haven't beaten heart gold/soul silver enough to get to kanto. is it really better than the original?
You know you can actually eat these guys, right?
Star World is easy to find. Special World is some crazy bullshit. What games back then had a special world that led to another harder special world?
>>343095608
>>343095802
It looks a lot better, for one. But that aside, they included all the Pokemon from Diamond/Pearl and filled it with a fistful of events, and walking around with whichever Pokemon is at the top of your list is a pretty neat thing they've never done again. I'm also a sucker for those extra Pokeballs you can make. Being able to call literally every single gym leader and the Elite Four AND the Champion for an even harder rematch is really fuckin' neato too.
>>343096203
>Being able to call literally every single gym leader and the Elite Four AND the Champion for an even harder rematch is really fuckin' neato too.
this i did not know about, but what i meant was how much more fleshed out kanto is.
>>343092510
Same. Such bullshit.
>>343090718
I did, there was a console at this family restaurant type thing that I could play at. I was pretty good at games back then so I managed to get through levels quickly. Didn't really know I found something secret at that time though, just though I found some weird shortcut like the whistle in SMB3.
A few years back I replayed this game on an emulator and found it again. Pretty cool that they included so much "hard to find" secret content.
Too bad its very time consuming to add this much extra content to games nowadays. The only game I've played in the last few years that gave you a ton of optional hidden content were DS1 and DS3.
>>343096318
Kanto is actually pretty barren, to be honest. Wild Pokemon are pretty much identical in level and location to what they were in R/B/G which makes grinding a pain in the ass, and there isn't much to do other than fight the gym leaders there. It's the kind of thing that's better in concept than execution, but seeing some characters return helps make up for it.
>>343096318
>the rematch is day and hour locked
>>343096570
so there's no real update to it in heart gold than regular gold? that's a fucking shame.
>>343096678
If I remember right, there's a new subplot involving your Rival and the conclusion of his arc, but that's back in Johto anyway.
>>343096678
Blane's seafoam island gym is an actual gym now and you can explore the rest of it too instead of it just being a small cave with just him in it.
>find star road
>super excited
>do everything I can to find more secrets
>there's even deeper secrets in star road
truly a golden game
Yup.
It's actually the only way I've beaten SMW, I've never actually played all the stages
>>343096678
Viridian Forest is also a real forest now.
>find the secret world as a kid
>it's not there the next day
>no one believes me
>>343092146
There's no point in creating secret content anymore, because:
A: It will be found hours after release and posted on every fucking website that exists
B: It will never be found until the devs themselves reveal it (happened with Arkham Asylum)
>>343097850
>(happened with Arkham Asylum)
what was it
>>343096678
Theres some genealogy improvements in areas that they obviously ran out of time for originally. Viridian Forest, Seafoam gym , and Fuchsia (Safari zone turned into the Pal Park for transfers) all got improved for example
>>343098076
The warden had a secret room you could only access using explosive gel in a specific place. It showed plans for Arkham City.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hmjCjqAj--Y
>>343098076
There was a secret room with Arkham City foreshadowing that noone discovered for so long, that the devs had to reveal it themselves.
>>343090718
yup found it in vanilla dome
>>343091231
>Red dot levels always have 2 exits. Yellow dot levels only have one.
Shit, so that's why they were different colors.
>>343098670
the game fucking tells you that
>>343098914
>reading game texts
also it was in english and that's not my native language
>>343098914
Oh, I didn't know how to read when I first played it and never payed much attention to the tips, too.
>>343090718
The secretary at my dad's job showed me all the secrets.
I miss her big tits rubbing up against my little 8 year old head as she played.
>>343090718
>>343094539
The one time I can think of being amazed at finding extra content was accidentally stumbling upon the second half of Symphony of the Night. Other than that, a really retarded moment from the first time I played Kingdom Hearts when I was 12. I went to the Colosseum and didn't know you had to attempt to push the block to get Phil to continue on with the level, so I beat the entire game without doing any of the Colosseum, thinking the game was bugged. Then I went back and tried it and blew my way through all the cups because I was like level 70.
