A cool secret: If you press start at the beginning of Where's Waldo for the NES, and then just as the game loads, swap out the cartridge for any other game, you'll have more fun.
We miss you Larry. Glad to see you posting comments around the internet. Apparently we browse many of the same websites. Every time I stumble upon a comment on an article from you it makes me smile and hope for a swift and full recovery for you.
the cool thing about the super spy hunter pong mini game is that you are actually rewarded extra lives by beating it. however its almost equally as difficult as the game itself so good luck lol
Okay, I thought I knew basically all there was to know about NES Easter Eggs, but that Castlevania III one definitely had me doing a double-take. I love that, even now, there is random little secrets to discover in my favorite classics.
When I was a kid, I rented Magic Darts and Robocop 2 as my family watched their rental of City Slickers, and I ended up finding the Darts easter egg by accident. Don't even remember how I did it, but I remember that Alien changing into a Spock knockoff, and now that I KNOW how to access it officially, I guess Young Me simply used "SEX" as a name.
@@BigOleWords No! The time I saved a school camping trip by teaching a team of volunteer chefs how to prepare 75 lb of tri-tip for a potluck in 3 hours. Gotcha is #4. :)
Okay, you might know this one, but in CLASH AT DEMONHEAD, there's a part where you encounter your wounded buddy Joe in Route 32. If you keep going back and forth, Joe's health deteriorates, until he's nothing more than a skeleton. Yikes.
Man, some cool secrets I never heard of. Especially from Mechanized Attack. I was shocked! I thought, "They did it. They actually did it!" Love Kickle Cubicle! Underrated puzzle game along with the Lolo trilogy...
Can I just say how much I appreciate you not censoring the 8-bit nudity, even though I'm sure youtube wants you to. And I'm not just saying that cuz I'm a perv.
The Castlevania III trick you mentioned is actually used in the Grant speedrun, funny enough. Since he can only use the weakest subweapons, the dagger becomes best for this particular fight. Not only does it deal 4 damage on its own, it freezes him in place and allows you to land a few more hits before he recovers!
On Magic Darts in some games, there will be a fly buzzing around the dart board. If you select the normal alien as your player, use his time stop ability, and actually hit the fly, the game will also switch your alien with the Spock twin.
Fantastic video. The only thing I know about these Easter eggs is that Family Feud was developed by RARE and (from what I've heard) a lot of British game programming 'culture' at the time revolved around beer and the pub. Maybe there was a Mr Swankey who liked beer.
The Fire n Ice one is your reward for completing the game. The ending sequence tells you how to unlock the extra levels. I actually did a full clear of the game recently on Switch, and boy was the rewind feature helpful every time I messed up minutes of careful setup with a mistimed drop .. The Chain Chomp one was in the Nintendo Power guide, but all the rest were new to me. For your next one, you should include Final Fantasy's sliding number puzzle ( press A+B 55 times while on the ship, earn gold for completing it) and the hidden messages on the level terrain in Snake Rattle n Roll.
You know that there is a secret in the NES Game called Rollergames, it has to do with the final boss in the game You see right as he appears at the top of the screen if You time it correctly You can jump kick him “right” into one of the columns in his lair rendering him defenseless then You can just walk up to him and unload Your attacks on him until he’s defeated.
On top of all those glorious Easter Eggs, you also introduced me to Dragon Strike, which looks like a fantasy version of Tornado Low Level or Cyclone! I must now play this!
Hey there, BOW WOW. I've been finishing a lot of games recently (alas, very few in my backlog), and now that I'm on this craze, I'd like to see you cover NES endings. Are they COMPLETELY CRAZY? What about the TOTALLY DISAPPOINTING? Maybe one or two sent a tear rolling down your cheek. Who knows? If you need pictures, I've got plenty! Of course, you'd need to include the ending to Stanley: Search for Dr. Livingston. It's genuinely crazy and almost worth going through the whole game to see.
9:45 If you wait around after the credits play, the game actually tells you about this code. I love Fire and Ice to death, and easily consider it the best puzzle game for the system. It's so polished and well put together, and maintains its challenge without resolving to cheap or obtuse mechanics.
The chain Chomp was actually a continuation of the first Super Mario Bros. I forget how long you have to wait, somewhere around 90 seconds, but the hammer Brothers will give chase and once they do, if you can escape, there is a 24k pure gold star in your future.
@@BigOleWords , in SMB2J, for Worlds 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, and D, you don't even NEED to wait 90 seconds for the Hammer Brothers to chase you, as they begin to do so immediately. However, for Worlds 3, 4, 5, and 6, the same rule from Super Mario Brothers also applies to this video game. These rules hold true for any version of the video game as well, yes, even for Super Mario Brothers Deluxe/DX, though, in technicality, only Worlds 7 and 8 are able to be discovered by legitimate means, though the coding for Worlds 9, A, B, C, and D can be found in the video game, yet it was not on the cartridge for some reason. Also, the 90 second Hammer Brother rule works on Versus Super Mario Brothers and Super Mario Brothers Special, while a modified version of the SMB2J rules applies to ANNSMB (All Night Nippon Super Mario Brothers), and, in that case, it acts like Super Mario Brothers for Worlds 1 to 8, but in Worlds A to D, it acts like SMB2J.
Don't know if this is known or not, when I was a kid it was well known, but if you enter the name ZELDA in the original The Legend of Zelda game, the dungeons are all in different locations.
I don't think this is an easter egg, but I haven't seen anybody show this anywhere on the internet so it seems like a bit of a secret. In the game Demon Sword for NES, if you stand around in the same location for long enough without advancing the screen all of the constantly spawning enemies will be replaced with super fast skeletal tigers.
okay the kickle cubicle one is new to me! yeah would've been nice to just play as kid niki but what can you do. neat easter egg all the same!! wasn't ready for the mechanized attack one though, holy hell how would anyone figure THAT one out?! have not heard about most of these!
@BigOleWords Hopefully it didn't come off as saying in a Steve Erklle nerd voice. "uhm ACTUALLY it means....meh meh meh". Just a random fact Incase you're on a trivia game show. Love the channel
4:36 That is one yellow controller. Looks like your SNES matches. BTW, will you ever cover anything not just NES related? Before I saw that Super Nintendo console, I thought the original NES was the only thing you owned.
Hi sir I watched both videos about strange secrets in NES games and I gotta tell you that you gotta check the famicom version of Golgo 13, a game I personally used to play on a famiclone console called the terminator console which used to be popular in my country, anyway trust me when I tell you to check the famicom version of golgo 13
Damn, show me a game and say it was like Lolo and Lala and I thought mom would have loved that, then you show off Fire 'n Ice which mom did love. Now Im sad.
Wait Dragon Spirit was released for the famicom? In north america i think it was only released for turbografx, never heard of a JP famicom release either. Is castle of dragon within the same franchise as dragon spirit? They're not similar games at all and don't think namco did castle of dragon
@BigOleWords yeah your right, they added a subtitle to it, I assume its going to be very different from the arcade but is it a good shoot em up for the nes?
Butterfly knife? That's Kid Niki's Spinning Sword! Everybody knows that! JEEZE James, do your research! GAAAWWWD! I better say something else or some moron will think I was being serious.
!Amazing video! The part at 6:10 reminded me of Rod land in the options when you change the player names to "S-H-T", "F-U-K", "B-U-M", "T-I-T", "S-E-X", "V-A-J", "C-N-T", " P-O-O", "N-O-B", "D-I-K" the fairies blush. I hope the third part is very interesting, these video of Easter eggs from the NES games. Greetings 😉
Sorry, with due respect, I can't even watch the video that I came to see because I get smacked in the face with a "Do you wanna join this channel?" Likely not the fault of the content creator, but a reason to file a complaint to the YT service for pushing people away instead of trying to draw them in.

A cool secret: If you press start at the beginning of Where's Waldo for the NES, and then just as the game loads, swap out the cartridge for any other game, you'll have more fun.
what happens? I can't find any information on it
What if I throw in The Great Waldo Search?
@@nxtvim2521 You don't play Where's Waldo, that's what happens. The game is more entertaining when inserted in a toaster oven.
I literally lol. Thanks 😁
Instructions unclear, hastily inserted Win Lose or Draw and had literally negative fun. I demand a refund on this video game secret.
I might be wrong, but I believe there's a hidden game in the NES version of Ikari Warriors via a cheat code.
Wait what?!?
We miss you Larry. Glad to see you posting comments around the internet. Apparently we browse many of the same websites. Every time I stumble upon a comment on an article from you it makes me smile and hope for a swift and full recovery for you.
Maybe you think of the japanese version of guerilla wars, Guevara. There is an old arcade game hidden in the code
Hello you.
I hope you are doing well
@@djachmedd that could be it, yeah.
Man I forget just how expansive the NES library is, Attack of the killer tomatoes, on NES? What!?
Great video btw!
Yeah there’s a lot of random ones out there!
the cool thing about the super spy hunter pong mini game is that you are actually rewarded extra lives by beating it. however its almost equally as difficult as the game itself so good luck lol
I just got that game, so now I'm gonna play that minigame as long as it takes.
And I got the game for 5 bucks
Similar, then, to the sliding number block puzzle in Final Fantasy that rewards you gold for completing it.
Okay, I thought I knew basically all there was to know about NES Easter Eggs, but that Castlevania III one definitely had me doing a double-take. I love that, even now, there is random little secrets to discover in my favorite classics.
Yeah that one is wild. I wish I knew about more of those non-code Easter eggs.
7:08 ...dang it, I was hoping for 8bit dragon tiddiez :

Hahaha awesome!
This will go down in history as my number two contribution to human kind, for sure.
Number one being that Gotcha footage ;)
@@BigOleWords No! The time I saved a school camping trip by teaching a team of volunteer chefs how to prepare 75 lb of tri-tip for a potluck in 3 hours. Gotcha is #4. :)

Ok that’s wild, but that makes sense as an achievable bonus, especially compared to some of these other games
*This video is really neat. I didn’t even know of any of these before. Thanks for that.*
That’s what I’m here for ;)
I remembered the chain chomp one, I think I got it from a Nintendo power magazine.
Fantastic video. The only thing I know about these Easter eggs is that Family Feud was developed by RARE and (from what I've heard) a lot of British game programming 'culture' at the time revolved around beer and the pub. Maybe there was a Mr Swankey who liked beer.
Family Feud was actually Beam Software. Rare did the original Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune games.
@@jefflavenz7285 Huh. I swear I saw it on a list of Rare games. Ho-hum. Beam were based in Australia.

The slide puzzle was one I wanted to include, but I just wasn’t committed enough to play FF long enough to get that footage. One day!
That Super Mario 3 Easter Egg gives me a great idea for a themed speedrun - when’s the first Dog Liberator% gonna be done?
I’m on it!
You know that there is a secret in the NES Game called Rollergames, it has to do with the final boss in the game You see right as he appears at the top of the screen if You time it correctly You can jump kick him “right” into one of the columns in his lair rendering him defenseless then You can just walk up to him and unload Your attacks on him until he’s defeated.
Say word?!? I love that game, I’ll have to go back and try that
lol That darts game guy looks like Steve Jobs with that black turtleneck
Hahahaha yes!
Holy crap the CV3 dagger lightning trick… been playing this game for close to 40 years and just now I find out about this 😅
I know right, same here! So random.
Super Spy Hunter is one of my all time favorite NES games lol but i never knew about that easter egg that is awesome
On top of all those glorious Easter Eggs, you also introduced me to Dragon Strike, which looks like a fantasy version of Tornado Low Level or Cyclone! I must now play this!
Ooooh those look awesome!
Been really enjoying your stuff!
Thanks dude(s)!
Hey there, BOW WOW. I've been finishing a lot of games recently (alas, very few in my backlog), and now that I'm on this craze, I'd like to see you cover NES endings. Are they COMPLETELY CRAZY? What about the TOTALLY DISAPPOINTING? Maybe one or two sent a tear rolling down your cheek. Who knows? If you need pictures, I've got plenty!
Of course, you'd need to include the ending to Stanley: Search for Dr. Livingston. It's genuinely crazy and almost worth going through the whole game to see.
That is a topic on my list! Stanley is one I keep planning to review but I’ve tried multiple times and just cannot get into it. One day!
I figured that hidden messages and shout outs in the credits weren't really Easter Eggs. But the expression of the truest love ... wow.
man that castlevanina 3 knife thing is pretty amazing
Right?!
Love that Mr. Show/Jeepers Creepers reference in your splash
I was on the 18th holllllllle!

Did the mechanized attack easter egg with my buddies a few years back, had a good laugh.
I’m impressed you could pull it off!
Amazing stuff, all this info is going straight to my Tips n Trix section in my NES notepad!
Thanks for another great video!
Haha yes!
@@BigOleWords Just love how your info filles in the blanks of what me and my brothers already worked up for 40 years!
Love these weird games. Thanks for making unique NES content !
Makes me nostalgic for renting a random cartridge from the local video store…
And we’re back toooooo…… “Check this Shit Oowwwt!”
Spit my drink out at the start of win lose or draw 😆. Gotta love those RUSH cover bands
I’ve never seen one but I have to assume they resemble Rush themselves :)

Magic Darts was one of my regular rentals and I used the alien code all the time because his stats were better than the rest.
SMB3 is where I learned the slang phrase "no dice"
Hahaha nice!
I really appreciate the aspect ratio.
You have great videos that explain things well.
Hey thanks for saying that!
Great stuff. Always entertaining and interesting 👍🏻
Hey thanks bud! Hope alls well
I could be wrong about this. But, wasn’t it also possible to get the secret darts character by hitting the fly?
Huh, no idea!
there's the hidden HAL letters room in Kirby's Adventure
I thought about that one but decided it wasn’t quite weird enough :)
Regarding the lightning in the Japanese version Grants normal attack is the dagger sub weapon so maybe that made it easier?
Good call!
