April Fool's DYKG

[JonathanPonikvar]

In Super Smash Brothers Brawl, a cracked version of the Japanese release revealed that the unlockable "demos" of previous classic titles could be further unlocked into full versions of each game using a hacked save file. The US version also featured this trick; in fact, diving further in, it was even discovered to contain the full version of Earthbound hidden in its code. The game's title was simply removed from the demo selection screen, but never deleted from the final game's code. This means Earthbound did indeed see a re-release in the US, but is completely unplayable through conventional means.


In the PS1 version of Chrono Trigger (as part of the Final Fantasy Chronicles release), Schala was added as a hidden unlockable character. Unlocking her requires a completed save file from Chrono Cross to be present on the memory card with the final ending achieved. Simply rescue her in Cross and then play Trigger until Magus joins your party; speaking to the survivors of Zeal with him as the lead character will unlock her side quest, which will end with her being rescued from the Black Omen and added to the party.
