Super Secret Games Thread
 

Has anyone found a secret by fluke and never managed to find it again? I know I have. In Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, I found the Houlihann room and never could get into it again no matter how hard I tried. Please explain the secret in the usual "Spoiler" way.

Spoiler: SECRET

We await the secrets of your life.

EDIT: COLOR command Changed to work

Spoiler Text code isn't black, it's 111111. Just so you know.

Devil may cry 3. I glitched the elevator and double jumped, landed on air, double jumped again on the air, and continued out of that part of the level. Never able to repeat the trick.

I have Sonic 3d blast for my sega genesis, and in a very painful way, I tripped on the control and faceplanted the console as I was turning it on Suddenly I hear some weird musci and when I look at the screen its displaying: " You have found the special level select menu!" The damn thing was so painful I never even tried to acces the damn thing again.

Not a secret, but a weird fluke. I was playing Majora's Mask, and was at the part in the stone temple where you porpoise jump as a zora.(not a spoiler methinks;) ) When I was building up speed, I hit one of the walkway's supports and flew up and backwards through the air. twas awesome.

Back in my goldeneye days I unlocked practically every cheat for the menu. So what did I do when I was bored? I went to one of those open snow field levels and just layed waste to everything with remote mines. One time after, I do not lie when I say this, after six hours of just total mayhem the game did this weird burp glitch after I detonated around fifty mines at once.

After that when I'd throw a mine it was a square piece of glass in the air. When it hit something it changed visual properties.

Windows = Wooden block mine
Snow = grey/black mine
Wood walls = block of metal
Explosive barrels (unexploded) = The death head warning symbol turned 90 degrees on it's side but grey/black like the wood wall mine.
Explosive barrel (exploded) = bright colored version.
Metal doors = bright green square
There was a variety of others but I can't remember them now.
Heres the clincher: When I'd throw the mine at the NPCs it'd turn into a yellow smiley face before hitting the ground.

I've never EVER EVER been able to recreate that awesome glitch.

Exactly once, while playing the original Super Mario Bros., I managed to make myself small and fiery. I don't remember how I did it or when, except that it made world 2-2 a lot of fun.

I was playing True Crime: Streets of L.A. one night, it was very late, and I had been playing for hours, when suddenly, out of nowhere, a car rams into me whist I'm against a building, shoving my through. Then, on my screen, it showed "Welcome to" and then it started playing a highpitched buzz noise until I turned it off. Never did play that game again.

Well, most of the glitches/faults I get are usually when I use a cheat device. For example when I was playing FF1 on the JNES Emulator for the PC and had a bunch of Game Genie Codes... I couldn't get to the Dwarf Cave because there was a river in the middle of the forest. When I made it go away after opening and closing the menu, it was still there even though I couldn't see it.

Very strange. But, there are plenty of other things like in Pokemon when using a cheat device... (On Fire Red and Leaf Green) that your trainer card, I kid you not, says the following:

Hall of Fame Debut ----- 999:99:99
Berry Crush ------------ 65535
Number of Trades ------ 65535
Number of Vics/Losses -- 65535 / 65535
Money ----------------- ??9:99#53

This glitch is associated with the DMA Partition that's located on the Cartridge itself, the Action Replay DMA Disabler won't work on it though. So I said "Screw this, I'm playing by the book."

Remarkably, it doesn't seem to do this in Emerald.

I was doing Multiplayer Practice in C&C Renegade, and I was Nod. I'd been playing for the last 5 or 6 minutes as a Stealth Black Hand (But of course, as is customary, Stealth ANYTHING never works against the computer) and decided that, since I had enough Credits, I'd make a rush for the enemy base and actually win via Beacon Deploy instead of expired time. So I return to base, find a PCT, buy a Nuke Beacon, Light Tank, and change my character to Raveshaw (The big hulking Tiberium model, not the white-Gary-Coleman model).

Then when I switch from 3rd-person to 1st-person view, I'm cloaked, or looked like it rather. I'm not sure if I was ACTUALLY cloaked since, as I said, CPUs are omniscient, but it was definately weird.
