There's a couple more things you can do. To reverse the effects of the red/yellow mushroom, as "big" Mario, touch Koopa and the switch to the bridge at the same time. That one is kinda tough though. There's also a way to get a stupid amount of lives. Trap an enemy (that you can bounce off) against a ledge and keep jumping on top of them. For certain reasons I can't understand though, if you get a certain amount, it will be instant game over once you die. One more thing I remember from playing that game a million times in 1990 and then more recent on Ultra FCE (and yes, I own the cart so it's legit!) is the ability to trap yourself in one of the water levels. I know it happens at the end of the level, I just can't remember how and it's kinda pointless because it's not like something strange happens after, you just hafta beat the level all over again on your way to completing the game. With Mario out of the way and proving that Kevin Diley did it (or at least he knew it could be done), lemme talk about the other ones. There is a patch for Lara Croft to be in the buff (one of the comments mentions it) but it's stupid and even the horniest Lara fan-boy wouldn't be aroused after five minutes. Real women are better even if they can't hold a candle to what Lara might actually look like, if she were real. Enough of that though. I remember that SFII "trick" as a kid. I had the better Genesis version though, so playing as Bison or Balrog was no sweat. Sorry SNES people who tried that. I never assumed it was real, but kids say they do it and it gets stupid from there. The story about Saddam seems untrue post-Operation:Iraqi Freedom and that one about Zelda is true but manji is the smartest explanation of that ever. Hitler got the whole idea for the swastika when his cultural people went to the East to learn about the Aryans. Mortal Kombat's blood code for SNES wasn't even the tip of the iceburg for Mortal Kombat's myths. I remember when the home versions came out hearing the never-ending tales of nudity codes (how bad did I wanna see Sonya naked as a . . . I think it was third grade) and there was also a way to make Liu Kang masterbate (at least on the Genesis version) by getting out of his fatality and jumping onto the fallen enemy. I know that seems a little far fetched but that one I heard long after I first heard that to be possible. Last is Polybius. I don't know what to make of this, but I think that the U. S. Government and other governments cover up things all the time so why can't this be possible? I'm not one of those conspiracy guys or Area 51 guys or any of those whackos but why is it unthinkable that the government wouldn't do something like this? I just wish I were alive and coherent back in 1981, oh and a Portland arcade goer. That's it for me. Hope you enjoy my take as much as I enjoyed typing it.
