Sure, completing the main story of a prized video game can be exceptionally rewarding in and of itself. Even knocking out that plot on the easiest level with a series of cheat websites and walkthroughs pulled up on your phone can still prove to be a difficult task. And few things are as satisfying as fully completing a game, start to finish. But sometimes you just crave more content. And when that gaming itch strikes and you find yourself needing to re-immerse yourself in the world of your favorite games after the story has been completed, you can find yourself frustrated if you are unprepared to restart the story from the beginning. This itch can be satiated by playing these games through a new set of eyes. A completionist set of eyes to be more exact.
Venture through these worlds you’ve come to know and love with the sole goal of collecting each and every single one of the objects scattered throughout the game, explore hidden worlds, and embark on some elusive secret quests. Travel to places few gamers have ever seen before and make a name for yourself in these uncharted lands. And there are few platforms which provide players with as much hidden content as the wonderful world of Nintendo. It seems as if each game was created with a secondary game hidden inside intended for completionists and completionists alone.
So, without further ado, here are twenty-five secret locations that you may not have known were hidden throughout several unique Nintendo games.
2 Chris Houlihan Room: The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past
In the very first Fire Emblem game, you have the ability to take control of Marth and his posse as you travel across Archanea. Along the way, you are tasked with making friends.
Castle Roof: Super Mario 64
Minus World: Super Mario Bros.
Mirage Island: Pokémon Ruby And Sapphire
Regi Caves: Pokémon Ruby And Sapphire
Whirl Islands: Pokémon Gold And Silver
Gaiden Chapters: Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
Most players of this series will simply reset if any character is lost, but that action is guaranteed to lock them out of the secret chapters.
These chapters will only unlock if you lose a certain amount of units before reaching them. The rewards that lie within them are usually treasure, experience, and even a new person to fill your depleted ranks.
1 Crossbone Isle: Golden Sun
The El-Saghira Temple (also known as the Egyptian temple) is the ultimate bonus level from the Goldeneye game. Simply being able to access this level is testament to your skill at this game. To enter the Egyptian temple, you must first complete every other mission in the game on the highest difficulty level: “00 agent.” And believe me when I say that game is known for having some famously difficult levels. After unlocking this temple, you must complete a floor tile puzzle to find the Golden Gun in preparation for a final showdown with Baron Samedi.
