Something that totally shocked you learning it or realizing it. I might be using the wrong wording here, but ill give you my example:

In Ocarina of Time, we all know the Triforce was cut, or otherwise not something you get in the game, save for in the cutscenes towards the end. BUT - did you know you can actually go find it and see it in the game?

If you have a Gameshark, turn on the levitation code. Go go Zeldas Cortyard in the room where she is, and fly over the wall. When you fall, you'll land in a pool of invisible water, and underneath the center of the room with the flowers, look down - there it is. Can't interact with it, but you can see it, and i choose to believe putting it in that exact spot was intentional for lore reasons.

What do you got?

Fan theory that is sorta supported: Star Fox is a furry retelling of a real war that happened in the F-Zero universe. James McCloud is a human F-Zero racer.and the weird DS star fox game has an ending where fox totally fucks up his life and he gets it back together when he and Falco join the f-zero grand prix. The Arwing and F-Zero machines are both powered by a G-Diffusor System. The F Zero world not being full of anthropomorphic animals leads me to believe Star Fox is a sanitized telling like Disney's Robin Hood is Robin hood was a real historical guy or weird furry ww2 fanfics

I buy it

There's a few animal-people in F Zero, no?

Bio Rex is a raptor but I think he was made by science. I think the rest are just aliens who kinda look like animals

Lmao I was just on the FZERO wiki after reading your comment and having learnt a bit of Japanese since last playing all that time ago, I noticed that Gomar & Shio ( ごま + 塩 sesame and salt) are both Furikake (rice topping) aliens.

The F Zero X character descriptions are some of the greatest paragraphs ever written. Most of my gaming time is currently spent trying to get really fucking good at the game and high level play of X in counterintuitive and weird, it's neat but I've always been a grip car normal driver, I gotta learn my low grip Tokyo drifts

Yeh I love the descriptions and the goofy little videos you unlock for each character in X. You can tell that the character designers enjoyed thinking up these outlandish (otherworldly) backstories that play out like wrestling drama but with actual in-game-world intrigue and consequence. My hands are itchy lol I wanna play gimme the sticks

Edit: i got my versions wrong, I meant gx. I didn't play much of x until it was on the virtual console

Everyone is so fucking weird and they give just enough information that it really only raises more questions but you know whatever is going on is cool as hell. VAHOOOM!
