If you ran around the fountain in Sunny Villa "enough" after beating Spyro 3, and then stared into the fountain, Spyro would have a vision of all the enemies he had killed before he killed himself out of grief.

Rented Sonic 3 and another kid in the store who wanted it told me if Sonic got hit he would bleed everywhere for the entire rest of the game, as if that would dissuade me

my friend dustin once told me that he had intel that nintendo’s next system would be called the “yoshi box” and would have slots to play your nes, snes, and n64 games as well as new next generation 3d games.

one kid at latchkey said he inviented a version of pokemon called pokemon black where pokemon could die and if you wandered around you'd see your skulls everywhere. i stopped hanging around with him when he threw a deck of magic cards at me and peed his chair at the library

before we got a snes or genesis and were thinking of maybe getting either, my dad asked the clerk at the small game shop we went to if there was some way to play games from one on the other, and the guy got really quiet and leaned over and told us "yes, but i cant sell it here"

i had a weird Aaron in grade school as well who made a bunch of spurious claims about things you could do and unlock in Mario 64 (play as Luigi, ride-able Yoshi etc.) i didn't like the kid and we were actually kind of enemies (we were both poor and fat but i was smart (for my grade) and he was borderline retarded and this was a big point of contention for us as classmates.) but after hearing him talk about this for several days i finally went over to his house for a play date to play Mario 64 with him and catch him on his bullshit. i get there and find that his single file on the game has 4 stars and has only opened Bob-omb Battlefield, Whomp's Fortress and Cool Cool Mountain. he's presumably been playing the game for weeks at this point. i felt bad for him and got him all the way to the top floor of the castle before i left. we also played Cruis'n USA and he kept insisting on having it play the lovely Bluegrass song the entire time. also one time in school i was talking to my friends about my Game Genie for my original Game Boy and he barged in to the conversation saying that there was no such thing as a Game Genie and that i must be mistaking it for a Game Shark.

gently caress that kid. i never hung out with him again after that and i'm pretty sure he's dead now (meth).

A kid in second grade told me that his dad worked for Nintendo and he had a copy of every single Nintendo game ever made. I hated that kid.

Everyone in my fifth grade class was trying various methods to revive Aerith, so we would all share rumors with each other on how to do it. The one I shared was that if you got back into Midgar on disc 1 you could save the sick guy in the pipe, he would be called THE GENERAL, and you would be able to get a special materia out of the mini fridge in the sector 5 slums item shop that lets you get past the fish in the City of Ancients and retrieve Aerith's body and revive her.

Yep, this was mine. We also had the classic Mew under the truck. Someone swore there was a way to capture the generic Ghost that shows up in Lavender Town if you don’t have the Silph Scope and it knew all the strongest ghost-type moves and the enemy would be too scared to move every turn.

Oh yeah that reminds me the smelly kid in third grade that no one liked (do not say this is me, thank you) called me at home at dinner time because he couldn't figure out how to leave Marrymore in Super Mario RPG.
