There was a rumor that went around online when I was younger and more gullible that if you purified every shadow Pokemon in Pokemon Colosseum and then used Ho-Oh to beat the 100 battle challenge that you’d get to go to a mini part of Kanto and fight Giovanni and he has Shadow Mewtwo in the armor from the movie. I completely believed it but never had the dedication to see if it was real.

I believed Dragonite could evolve into a yoshi because I read it in a magazine and I was too young/dumb to conceptualize the idea that some things printed in magazines are not true or just jokes

In Smash 64 dying at the exact same time as Metal mario in 1P mode would unlock him. Did it alot.

Part 1:
FINDING LUIGI #11 (LONGEST!)
(NOTE: You have to do these steps with out saving!!) Plug your
controller into the 2nd Controller port. Before you turn on the N64,
hold the joystick up to where that will be the neutral position. Turn on
the N64 and go to file B.
Go to the castle door and go in. As soon as you enter the door, press L,
R, & Start simultaneously to set the neutral position back to normal. Go
to Bob-omb Battlefield & get the 1st, 3rd, & 7th stars. Then go to
Whomp's Fortress and get the 1st, 6th & 7th stars. Now go to Jolly Roger
Bay & get the 1st, 5th, & 7th stars. This will give you nine stars.
Go to Bowser in the Dark world now. Get the 8 red coins & get the star.
(Don't fight Bowser yet.) Now go to Cool Cool Mountain and get the 6th
star. Now go into the wing cap stage get all the 8 red coins. Don't jump
on the red switch!!!!!!! Now go back to Bowser in the Dark World. Get to
Bowser, but don't kill him yet. Let him keep spitting fire & keep
collecting the coins until you have 164 coins.
Now beat Bowser. Go to the basement & unlock the door. Walk to your left
to where you see the ramp with the blue glass covering it. Dive up the
ramp & then go through the door. Walk down to your right & then jump
into the pool of water. Swim forward until you get to the other side.
Jump onto one of the poles & do the butt slam. Then jump on the other
pole & do the butt slam to drain the water. Go out the metal door at the
bottom. Now go into the vanish cap stage. Go into the stage and work
your way to the blue switch. Once you have jumped on it, just jump off
the side to exit the stage.

Part 2:
Now go back to Jolly Roger Bay. Go to star 2 & goto the ship. You will
see the box with a poison symbol on it. Let the box go left 64 times &
go right 64 times. After it has gone back & fourth 64 times, butt slam
it. Instead of hurting you, the box will burst and a green hat will come
out of it. Pick it up and Mario will spin around and say "It's a Luigi
time!" You will be sent out of the stage.
Now you can go upstairs without beating Bowser in the Fire Sea. Go to
the hall of mirrors. When you walk in there, jump on top of the 1st pole
you come to. Do the butt slam on the pole 6 times. Then go to the pole
in front of the Goomba painting & jump onto it. Do the butt slam 4 times
on it. All of a sudden Luigi will appear in the mirror in front of the
Goomba painting. Punch him and he will come out. Now he will follow you
wherever you go & you can switch between who plays by pushing L. When
you find Luigi, he will give you a star, the 121st star.

Gavin Campbell
>Mexican magazine Club Nintendo claimed Missingno to be a virus type pokemon
>Got so autistically interested in computer viruses I'd assume any glitch in any game was a virus
I even developed a fear of deep water in games like Mario Sunshine because I thought computer viruses tend to lurk in it. Fuck missingno.

that motherfucking eel in M64 fucked me from playing every single water level in games for a long time.
Lincoln Cruz

When I was a kid my uncle told me that if i closed my eyes and sucked on a popsicle he would tell me how to play as Ninja Mario in Super Mario 64.
then he just said "A ninja never reveals his secrets".

Someone told my sister that if you request a song to KK in animal crossing on gcn, and type something like "HoMeRuN bAsEbAlL that you'll pitch a baseball at him and he hits it with his guitar. We attempted it like four times until deciding it was bullshit.
Adrian Martin
Have they figured out how to get him?
Evan Moore
FUUUUUUCK I REMEMBER READING ABOUT THIS WHEN I WAS YOUNGER AND ACTUALLY DOING IT AND GOT SO UPSET WHEN THE BOX DIDN'T BREAK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Michael Green
I had to turn the game cube off the first time I saw I was heading towards the giant ass eel in Noki Bay after falling down the waterfall.

It was also when notch did secret Friday updates, so something spooky ending up in the game secretly was at least plausible.
Ethan Anderson
Who is this?
Josiah Martin
When I was a little kid, there was a cheatcode for Mario Party 2 on GameFAQs to unlock Bowser as a playable character. My mother and I both tried to input it dozens of times to no avail (obviously, given that it was fake). Crushing disappointment.
Gavin Cook
I don't really get the romanticization of video game rumours. It was always just this:
>"hey you can do x in y"
>"oh really"
>try it
>doesn't work
>"oh okay"
