Everyone seemed to have a story of that one time they did it. Yet we all know you can't, now. --- End quote --- You can jump over the flagpole in SMB. It's just endless running until time runs out. --- End quote --- I've seen in ROM hacks, and I've seen in on Super Mario Bros. Lost Levels, but I've never seen it in SMB on an NES. I've clearly jumped higher than the flagpole, and the game just forces you down the pole. --- End quote --- Speaking from experience, it can be done. You have to be pixel-perfect, but it is possible. --- End quote --- You can also do it with a Game Genie using one of the super jump codes. |

Of course Nude Raider was a huge rumor, but the one I remember best is the infamous GamePro April Fools joke which claimed you could play as Sheng Long in Super Street Fighter II Turbo. A lot of people, including myself, didn't realize it was a joke. I never tried to do the almost impossible trick, which IIRC involved double-perfecting every computer opponent including Akuma and something else I don't remember, but many other people attempted it. |

You could drive a speedboat in GoldenEye. On the first level there was a island in the distance you could use a speedboat to reach, or the ship level in the multiplayer the speedboat could be used. |

I remember the rumor that in SMB3 if you caught the wand at a specific height you got 5 1 ups. |

The rumours that having the Mossdeep Space Center reach a specific number of rocket launches in Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire would allow the player to battle Jirachi or Deoxys. When Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire were released relatively recently it made me wonder whether Game Freak/Nintendo/The Pokémon Company acknowledged those rumours when creating the Delta Episode side quest. |
