Video Game Urban Legends

[The Mask of Norro]

I remember in Elementary school how fucking vivid those Pokemon rumors got sometimes. Something about how in R/B there's a way to unlock Togepi and get its evolutions, because it was reserved for a special event but you could use a glitch to obtain it. Then when you had that you taught its last form fly and you'd be taken to some sky world when you used it ala Mario, and you'd encounter a few "preview Pokemon" from the next gen just chilling out there in cloud patches. Snubbull, Pikablu, etc.

Doubtful that that was a particularly popular urban legend, but it's one that I'll always remember because like two kids in my class insisted that they'd done it but never brought the games in to prove it, for obvious reasons.

There was all kinds of shit for Final Fantasy 3 on the SNES. Stuff like unlocking a sword called "The Gamma Sword", ressing a certain dead character, and just more nonsense.

One I remember is this one for NBA Jam where you could unlock "Super Shaq", since Shaq wasn't on the console versions.

Allegedly uncensored versions of games, only one I remember my friends talking about was Sewer Shark on the Sega CD, where your partner would use profanity.

What was the urban legend about the guy on the roof in either Pokeman blue or red? I seem to remember there being something but god knows what it was.

I think it had something to do with MissingNo.

Or I could be wrong. I haven't read it in ages.

On a similar Pokémon note, would the story about you rival's Raticate dying count as an Urban Legend?

I remember on NBA Jam, I heard if you go to the Chicago Bulls and hit some random combination of buttons, you'd unlock Michael Jordan.

I also remember on the first ECW game, my best friend read online that there was a way to unlock Enter Sandman for the Sandman's entrance. He spent like two hours non-stop attempting to get it because if it existed it would be 'worth it'.
