How the fuck were people of 1996 supposed to know to jump into this random wall to get to the desert level?

This.

You're chasing the rabbit and jump at it, but you miss, hit the wall, and whaddya know it's another level!

when you chase the rabbit around you'll probably accidentally jump in

why is the desert level in some random wall anyways?

I jumped in by accident
trying to catch the rabbit

>Have to catch him AGAIN to get another star
What were they thinking?

2D games had hidden shit behind false walls for years.
When 3D games came out people were still applying that same logic.
If you saw a wall at a dead end, you ran into it.

>tfw i cant remember how i found this out
>tfw i cant remember how blast away the wall meant that edge of the wall
>tfw i cant remember how i found the slide
i wanna say i was a smart kiddo, but it took me till I was a teenager to find out there's a key underneath the block in the water temple in ocarina of time by reading an online guide

My brothers and I found out by accident when one of us touched the wall and it moved. I said, "hey! There's a secret level over there". I thought it would be a level similar to Peach's slider thing, but it was an entire level with all the stars.

Why was I able to figure this shit out as a 6 year old back in the day but OP cannot as a presumably 18+ year old man?

we explored every inch of a game
because the game designers told us NOTHING and left it up to us to find shit.

and kids played these games at age 5 and beat them

faggot

the dark souls of platformers

I literally never knew this was here before I got internet which was several years later. I just assumed I got all the stars when I got to 113.

People had real life friends to talk to.

You chase the rabbit to the dead end then observe the ripples on the wall.

How the fuck were you supposed to know to move Mario with the analog stick bros?

I guess you could call it a leap of faith

>Chase the bunny.
>Dive for it but miss at that spot.
>Hit the wall and see the ripple effect.

How I found it and walking past the hidden wall in Tall, Tall Mountain to find the secret slide area.

>be playing with my girlfriend
>Running around the sewer trying to catch the rabbit
>"He's too quick!"
>She takes the controller from me, makes Mario do a jumping dive, and then ends up in a world we had never seen before

I fucking love this game. And my wife

>Holy shit look how fast we can make this object react, the MIPS processor kicks ass! Let's do this twice because it's so fucking cool!

>tfw i used to be so retarded my friends used to lend me their memory cards so I could actually progress in games

I love your wife too.

Cute ending, I'm very happy for you, user.

Pretty rad moment right then wasn't it?

How were we suppose to know to go inside the castle to progress?
>Peach says "come to the castle", not "come into the castle".
>Even if you decide to go inside, a text box immediately appears and tells you to leave.

false equivalence fucktard. one is a building with doors you can see. the other is a wall that if you never go near you will never even see a ripple effect. fuck off.

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!

In the past a lot of games were not developed as 100% stand-alone things, the accompanying manual could often teach you things that the game doesn't explain.

So in some cases developers took that even a step further and implemented obscure cheats with no way to know of them except from magazines and guides.

The game is just tedious, it's explained in this video:

this exactly

okay but how was anybody supposed to guess this

we didnt have wikis back then so actually no one ever found this level until about 2008

>THIS GAME DOESN'T HOLD MY HAND EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
And I thought Nintendofags were babies.

>have to pick him up and throw him three times
how did anyone figure this out?

this idiot already got all the stars why's starting shit

>but it took me till I was a teenager to find out there's a key underneath the block in the water temple in ocarina of time by reading an online guide
My dad printed a a full color guide at this job for me, we didnt have a PC, helped me clear the water temple and find skultulas
The graphics of the guide looked great, I wonder where the pages are

this is dsp level autism

You can BLJ into the vanish cap level below the moat

Didn't know until recently that you could jump into the volcano in LLL

yeah, not understanding jokes is a big part of autism

>It's No Masterpiece

Is this a joke video in response to the Hamster man's Super Mario Odyssey video?

>You can Barf Luigi Jangle into the vanish cap level below the moat
what did you mean by this
