It looks more like 100 Mario seconds in the video. I think 100 Mario seconds is equal to a real minute.HUELEN10 said:

No. Surely not. More memory could mean anything - more sound, more textures, anything. It's got nothing to do with the length of the game.
That's like an argument I used to have with a friend about the Smackdown games on the PS2. He disliked that the games were getting slower over time - the pace of them, character movement etc, and tried to argue with me that this was because they added more wrestlers to the roster. "There's less memory for speed!" he said. Pillock.

I can actually remember seeing the chomp break free once a long time ago, but I had completely forgotten about it until I saw this video.Teetris said:
On that same stage, there's a pipe in the sky that takes you to a secret area, so I spent some time at the very beginning on the short stretch of flat ground trying to build up enough speed to be able to fly. I kept fucking it up though, and after a minute the chomp broke free. I had no idea why it happened at the time, though.

Or like Sonic CD's 3 Minute Suicide.
One of my favorites is in Sky Sanctuary of Sonic & Knuckles, playing as Sonic or Tails. Once Knuckles jumps onto the switch, he stays there looking tired. Instead of moving on, if you duck down beside him, he glares at you, then once you stand up he points you on to the rest of the stage.

yup. also on Super Mario Bros. 1 on the level 5-2 you can wait around on the blocks for a while and the Hammer Bro. in the pic below will just get bored and walk under you and off of the left side of the screen. it takes about 40 seconds or so. we found this out back when it had just came out for the NES because my cousin was too chicken shit to make a move and eventually the Hammer Brother just walked off. blew our young fragile minds.

Might as well break another Sega easter egg. In Sonic Rush, get Sonic to the lower screen in a level, and touch him. He will spin his arm in a "let's go" sorta way. If you do this with Blaze, she'll jump up in the air like a fraidy cat and then complain and turn her back on you.

Lots of arcade games seem to have time-sensitive easter eggs.
I ran out of quarters in the middle of The Simpsons arcade once, so I just got to a safe point where there were no enemies left on screen and ran to the change machine to get more. By the time I got back to the cabinet, the glove/hand in the top right corner that tells you to HURRY UP and advance to the next area had actually come down and flicked Lisa to death because she was stationary for too long.

Did you know: Marge is actually a rabbit from Life In Hell.Jocchan said:
This is also revealed whenever she gets electrocuted.

Ho-lee shit. I've never seen that one. I'm trying to imagine a world where games were actually that hard.
To all those who are somehow trying to make fun of whoever played that run through the level, two things: it was probably the guy who made the level, and it was probably played "tool assisted" with save states and slow motion.

my post from the previous page. but now i'm posting to ask if anyone knows why this is? and does anyone know if it applies to every Hammer Bro. encounter in the game or just that one?

This always seemed kind of random to me. Sometimes Hammer Bros would run forward. Sometimes they would just jump up and down. I never figured out a pattern.jaypah said:

My mind was blown until I watched the video. I never ducked and Knuckles would do it anyway, so I'm not sure why (in the video) you had to duck or why that person particularly thinks that. Though I could be wrong. Sonic got boring to watch stand still.
Sixfortyfive said:
that particular one will dance back and forth until it reaches it designated time and then it will walk forward. same amount of time, every single time. seemed so arbitrary that he'd be the only one. maybe i'll play some SMB later and see if others do it in the same amount of time too.
