The two would often intersect--early on, a boy goes missing in the sim portion which leads you to a demon nest to clear in the action portion. And while the story was sparse, it used the perspective of a god to show humankind's stumbles with a tinge of theological depth. The criss-crossing nature of these two elements made for an unforgettable experience. The time-traversing RPG starred a plucky band of kids who discover that their world is facing an impending apocalypse at the hands of an ancient beast.
As they journey through time they discover adventurers from a wide array of eras--a brash cave woman, a noble cursed knight, a sweet-natured robot--who all come together to save the future.
Remembered for its multiple endings, indelible characters, and an incredible score, Chrono Trigger is a can't-miss. In the Super NES era, Nintendo relied largely on crisp, colorful sprite artwork afforded by the new system, but the company occasionally explored other graphical styles and techniques.
One was an early attempt at polygon-based 3D more on that later , and another was a new technique utilized by Rare for Donkey Kong Country. An updated take on one of Nintendo's earliest characters, DKC made Donkey Kong the hero, protecting his beloved banana stash against the villainous King K. It was one of the first games to use pre-rendered models that had been transferred into high-fidelity sprites, which made for an almost claymation aesthetic.
It was also notorious for being an extra-hard game, challenging platforming fans more than your average Mario game at the time. The characters, a bunch of kids, were the kind you'd recognize from the schoolyard, and items were mundane household objects like pencil erasers. The world was recognizable and relatable, which made the more serious story beats related to saving the world hit that much harder. The game stars a sprawling cast of beloved characters across an epic adventure centered around an evil empire bent on exploiting the powers of a magical race known as Espers.
The game is perhaps most memorable for a major twist that occurs roughly halfway through, a powerful moment that still resonates in modern times.
But it's also remembered fondly for its beautiful sprite artwork and evocative score. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past brought one of Nintendo's most beloved franchises into the bit generation with aplomb. Now regarded as one of the best Zelda games, Link to the Past eschewed the experimental side-scrolling Zelda 2 structure and went back to the more familiar top-down adventuring from the original game. It presented a wide open world to explore--two of them, actually--with a little more structure and guidance than the original game.
The story revolved around the Dark World, a second reality hidden behind the veil of the original Hyrule. Super Mario 3D Land continues that tradition in spite of starting out as one of the easier 3D Mario games out there. But after unlocking an entire second games worth of content following Bowsers defeat, the truly final stage of the game has some perilous platforming and a big thank you waiting for the player bold enough to finish it.
How to get it: Not since Yoshi's Island has a Mario game demanded so much of players for a final stage. You have to collect Star Medals, beat every single stage with both Mario and Luigi, and when you beat every level, you have to get a Gold Flag Pole.
Do all that and the final world will unlock, and the stage is tough enough to make the requirements to get there seem like a breezy afternoon. The secret: will be remembered for a lot of things, and at the top of most historians lists will be the Year of Luigi.
Luigi was the star of this standalone DLC, and the devs made sure to hide as many references to Weegee's old pixel self wherever possible, secreting one in all 82 stages. How to get it: You have to be sharp-eyed to find all the 8-bit Luigis. Some are hiding in plain sight, others are behind breakable blocks, and others are fading into the background.
If you want to be sure you spot them all, you're better off just watching this video. L to justify that. Not only is the younger brother playable in 3D World, but the devs took similar care to hide pixelated Luigis in the game like the ones in New Super Luigi U.
Of course the greatest hidden tribute is the special remake of Luigi's first appearance in the mini-game Luigi Bros. How to get it: Luigi Bros. Created by 3D Worlds director, Luigi Bros.

Jump to discover two invisible blocks, then break the two blocks to the right. Now hit the final block to spawn a vine that you can climb up and out of the level.
This leads you to a special area with three Warp Zone pipes. To warp to World 5, you will need to continue on towards the end of the level in World Near the end of the stage, you can ride an elevator platform to reach the top of the level. From here, simply run across the top of the level to enter the Warp Zone that leads to World 5.
Note that because these Warp Zones are both located in World , you can only choose to take one of them. So, you ran out of 1-Ups. This version of Cheetahmen II is fairly unplayable, with a serious number of bugs preventing players from experiencing most of the game without utilizing a ROM of the game and fan-made patches. A fan-made update to the game, Cheetahmen II: The Lost Levels , restores the game's playability and even added some new content.
Nintendo fans have more than likely heard of the Nintendo World Championship event that was held in and later revived in both and While the grey Nintendo World Championship games used for the tournament are fairly rare in their own right, the special gold ones are considered to be even rarer. Only 27 of these were produced and were given away by Nintendo Power as part of a separate competition to the 's Nintendo World Championship.
The game itself is identical to the grey-cartridge variant, containing special versions of Super Mario Bros , Rad Racer and Tetris.
While this was thought to be the most valuable video game of all time, there are actually two other Nintendo event cartridges that are far rarer than this legendary NES game.
This isn't exactly a unique version of the original Super Mario Bros since the content of the test launch cartridges and the full-release cartridges in identical. What makes this release of Super Mario Bros so special is that it was an early version sold during an event in New York and Los Angles before the game officially hit the market.
