The Cow Level in Diablo 2 was actually a reference to a fake rumor for Diablo 1. The old hoax went that if you clicked on a cow enough times, it would take you to "The cow level." Much like Mortal Kombat's various rumors, it was immortalized in later entries in the series.
So for the triforce quest done at gdq. They basically used multiple controllers in 2 to 4 ports and button combos to basically write the code of the rom hack into the cart. This is a grossly simplified explanation but basically using a tas bot they programmed it to hit a bunch of buttons to alter the in carts code and basically ran a script to import the rom hack into the cart in real time. Also it was botw link not skyward sword.
my facorite gag on this channel is definetly all the strays Miyamoto catches literally for anything and i fucjing love it, youre so fucjing funny it makes your iceberg vidoes stand out so much for me and even more enjoyable
So, the 1987 thing in the first fnaf wasn't a reference to the year the game took place in. It was a reference to the Bite of '87, which was referenced by the phone guy in one of the phone calls. The game itself as been assumed to be 1993, since that year matched the minimum wage that the character earns for their paycheck at the end of the game.
So, I didn't see it in the chapters, but a Video Game/Urban Legend I remember reading about was the 'Wheat Sword' from Golden Sun and it seems like everyone has forgotten about it.
This video was so good that I stood up really fast in glee and smashed the back of my head into a cabinet, keep up the good work and I may end up in the morgue
When I young and playing ocarina of time 3D I encountered a different myth around beating the running man time trial that in reality is unbeatable when I tried looking up there was a way to do it. The video I saw was hacked to make the npc say link finally won and said his reward was in the sky temple basically creating another myth to drive players crazy.
The way they "obtain" it is pure clickbait and a complete scam, and I'll always hate those guy for wasting my damn time with their fake triforce obtaining
The Mew Under the Truck one... You get HM Cut from the ship. Surf is later on in Fuchsia City's Safari Zone. The way to get Cut without having the ship leave is correct though. There is also a glitch to get through to the dock after it leaves, I've done it a few times but don't remember the steps anymore.
Hello, Mr. Gambado! What an amazing video. One nitpick, the image that you used when discussing Totaka's song was actually of Koji Kondo, not Kazumi Totaka. PS: Adapting the Duck Hunt title screen at the beginning is inspired. I love it!
On the final topic: if you upload these all as a compilation, I will not only watch all the individual parts when they come out, I will also put on the compilation when it comes out.
The Triforce in Ocarina of Time was achieved using Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The simplest explanation would be: Using controller inputs to re-write the game's memory on the fly while it is running. Like using CheatEngine but to completely re-write an game entirely while you're playing it.
Our playground version of the pokeball myth was holding B on the game boy and then holding both a and b on the ds and one time one of us tested it by doing 5 pokeballs holding B, all 5 were caught and then doing the same without pressing a button and all 5 failed Except we didn’t know that health and pokemon determined it and all 5 of the failed catches were trying to catch Lugia
4:45 remember two things: 1: this isn't explicitly a fetus, and is obscured by the motion effects, moreso implied than outright stated 2: Takeshi's Challenge on the Famicom lets you get drunk, divorce your wife, murder your wife and children, and then get beat to death by the yakuza on your way to karaoke. I dunno if implied infanticide is all that much darker.
My theory on the realistic Mario ghost is, the current state of undeath is a result of Bowser's dark magic. Now, anyone who dies becomes a boo. But if you died prior to that, you became...something else.
Dunno if these are in future parts of the iceberg (I didn't check the chart earlier in the video), but two good ones would be Halo 2's Golden Warthog and MW2 (2009)'s Old Lady hoax
When i was a kid, maybe 12 or 13, a salesman at Sears told me the turbo on an NES Max would help you get iver rhe flagpole in 3-3. I begged my parents for that controller and they finally got it for me.
One of the first urban myths I encountered when I was young is the one around the unbeatable race in ocarina of time. I looked it up wanting to know if there was a way to win and found a fake video the seemingly did and created a different one where the running man said your reward was in the sky temple being another place that didn’t exist exist. I recently found that hackers made it so the timer had 0 seconds and it still said you lost by one.
18:17 Ho boy, here goes nothing. So, arbitrary code execution is a very fascinating form of code vulnerability. Basically, if you do very specific actions to break the game in a very specific way, you’ll be able to inject code into empty space in memory for the game to execute. This allows things like the Triforce and the Skyward Sword cutscene to be made without actually changing any of the base game’s code.
17:02 the dog was an a-hole and I love animals by the way but that one dog man that dog had to go Old Yeller Style. And if anyone's mad at that comment it's a computer dog calm down
34:55 I think the dog following the smiley face is a ref to a type of mid-20th Century character toys called 'Ramp Walkers.' These were pairs of cartoon characters (Top Cat and Benny, Popeye and Olive, Fred and Barney) which were mounted on two pairs of balanced 'legs' (or one pair and a wheel) which, when placed on an angle, would waddle to the bottom in a walking motion. For the mechanism to work correctly, the characters always had to be molded in pairs. front and back. For the short story, google 'mickey and pluto ramp walker.' There were two versions of this where it looks like...well, it looks like Mickey is WAY too close to Pluto's butt.
BLEEPING TRUCK. STRENTH TO PUSH TRUCK. WHY!? >_< also then I found out YEARS LATTER (thanks to youtube) that you can find a Mew by doing other glitch's... SIGH. Got mine from Toys`R'Us ... that store no longer exists... :/
12:16 it worked blowing in the Nintendo cartridges Sega cartridges Super Nintendo I swear think about it if it was Dusty you got the dust off and you don't get spit in it if you cover it you know. I'm telling you it worked
This was really well done. Your summaries were great, I appreciated how you were both informed and got straight to the point. It made you seem confident and trustworthy. And I loved those creepy intro screens for each entry. Your editing deserves more praise!
Also this ended up to be true but it took a while for people to figure it out. But the level called encrypted in btd6 it had a mystery for a while to open a portal in the middle but it took for everyone for people to find it. So mabey mention thst
21:00 this was already solved, it's a reward for 100%ing the game. Each of the 3 icons represent each character the egg being Franklin having a new start. The ufo being Michael being alianized from his family and the man in the jetpack being tevor because he was a pilot
Earthbound is full of other implied mature themes, and I don't think there's any way Giygas' baby shape could have been unintentional. I don't know if it was supposed to be in utero specifically, but there's definitely some infanticide going on.
18:48 The rumor I heard was slightly different, you had to time the button press JUST as the ball closes and hold the button, that's what increased the chances. At least, in my area and decade XD
In 2003ish my neighbor and friend who was a known liar was telling me about mr game and watch as an un lockable character in smash bros melee and I straight up thought he was lying. That just sounded fake as fuck with how he was described to look and everything. That was just one of the few truths that kid told
The pokemon mashing thing is like innate human nature. Even as a kid with no outside interference, I had a superstition that holding the B button and pressing down on the D-pad would increase my chance of catching the pokemon.
I totally fell for the "mewto under the truck" rumor back as a kid. School yard rumors back in the day caught like wildfire. Reminds me of my own child gullibility as i remember one time as a kid going through an issue of nintendo power (probably around 1999 or 2000) I cant remember the exact issue but it had a long joke article about how scientists were building real life mario warp tubes and how it was going to be the future of transportation. I ate that shit up as a kid and thought it was 100% real and i told all my friends on the playground about it cause obviously it was real and nintendo power wouldnt just joke around like that, right?
The Tails Doll stuff was wild, I remember when people said that if you played tag and tagged characters in a certain order, then went to the bathroom at midnight and played "Can you Feel the Sunshine" (Living in the City in some accounts) backwards, Tails Doll would come from the mirror and eat your soul. All these years later and I still can't believe the absurdity of that story. Was it a creepypasta?
Really interesting to see a lot of these easter eggs and mysteries in games, some of them I've heard of in the past. I have a few notes notes about both SMB mysteries and tricks, which are not really criticism, but some extra fun facts: - the Minus World is actually a lot different in the Famicom version of SMB1, and it can be beaten. -1 is an underwater version of 1-3/5-3, then -2 is just a copy of 7-3, and -3 is an underground variant of 4-4. Beating the world just resets the game back to the menu. There's also a "world 9", which people used to believe it was an official thing in SMB1, but it could only be accessed through glitches or hacking the ROM. This "world" actually inspired Miyamoto and his crew to add World 9 in Lost Levels as an easter egg, which was a direct callback to the wacky underwater variants in the original game. - there's one level in which you don't need to use the screen wrap bonk glitch in order to jump over the flagpole. In 3-3 if you jump right before the left weighted platform breaks, you'll end up with the second being at the peak of its height, and if you get a good running jump, you can jump over the flagpole without any glitches. It's the only level in which you can do it without the wrap glitch.
About the personalize mario 64 thing, i swear i rememeber a tollbooth at the other side of the courtyard. Like bro i rememeber it so vividly. Am i trippin?
Hot take but I think the reviving aerith myth came from gamers who were upset about her death not because they actually liked the character but because they spent all that time leveling her up for nothing

Here to support the iceberg king 👑
I’ll be honest, I never hated the duck hunt dog. Even after playing hours of NES Duck Hunt myself, I never had the urge to shoot the poor mutt.
This video was so good that I stood up really fast in glee and smashed the back of my head into a cabinet, keep up the good work and I may end up in the morgue
I haven't watched the whole video yet, but I just wanted to say I am very happy to see a new iceberg video by you!
Its a nice refresher to see iceburg videos back
Getting the triforce in OOT doesn’t even make sense in the context of the story. You literally have a piece of it.
When I young and playing ocarina of time 3D I encountered a different myth around beating the running man time trial that in reality is unbeatable when I tried looking up there was a way to do it.

Finally, another Gambado video to watch while eating lunch!
The Luigi throwback at 43:58 made me mad nostalgic. Wonder where that dude is now.
