  • Video game hoaxes and rumors have existed for almost as long as video games themselves. Sonic & Tails in Melee? Luigi in Super Mario 64? Yoshi as a Pokémon? Hoaxes have always been spread around to fool people into believing things about their favorite games that simply aren't true. In this video, we'll be taking a look at infamous video game hoaxes and rumors from years gone by!
    Whether it be Super Mario Galaxy DS, Kirby Red Diamond, or a fake Zelda III prototype game, hoaxes and video game rumors are very interesting to look back on, and I cover several of the most fascinating hoaxes in this video.

      I remember the first dream of chao I had where I unlocked a chaos chao garden in Sonic Adventure 2 and the garden was even higher in the sky than the hero garden. It had a long winding rainbow staircase like the other gardens, but it lead up to space. The garden had a celestial skybox and a crystal fountain in the middle. The grass was a sparkly pink too. If I could mod games I would make it a mod.

    I majored in Media Study (with a concentration in film production) and minored in game design, and that B+ for the Galaxy DS video sounds so typical for a media-related class. Some of my classmates made amazing and unbelievable projects that got them Bs, yet my hastily thrown together Unity game got a perfect score. And the film project I worked the hardest on in my entire time at college got a lower score than all of my "oh shit this is due tomorrow and I need to scrap something together" type assignments. The hardest part of any media related major is pouring your entire soul into a project that your professor just doesn't understand or doesn't match their personal taste, and they don't see the hours and hours of effort put in.

    As much as I love deep-dives into hoaxes and ARGs, I also miss the days when we could spread urban legends without being instantly called out or prodded for "proof". Back in the 90s, my older cousins always made me believe (now obvious) bull urban legends. However, I believe that sparked my interest in the horror genre, which I incorporate into my career now. I don't think I would have cared enough to learn about the ups-and-downs and dos-and-don'ts of the genre had I not been tricked.

    When I was around 9 years old I bought a "Super Mario World 5" GBA cartridge at a basar. It had a high resolution picture of Wing cap Mario on the front and looked super nice. The splash screen had also some really good looking picture of a 3d Mario on it. Then the game started and I loved it. It was damn hard because it wouldn't save but then some faithful day I just pressed a few buttons all at once and I found a mysterious menu in English that I did not at all understand. After some trial and error I found out that I could save with it. Then many years later I found out it was Adventure Island for the NES running in an emulator. I also had the Pokemon sonic bootleg that many people seem to know nowadays.

    I'm really glad you chose to cover Waluigi in 64DS over Luigi in 64. As someone born in 2003, hearing people talk about game rumors always felt like I was just hearing everyone else's version of events. I wasn't there for the Luigi in SM64 discussions, but I was all over Waluigi in 64DS. I remember watching so many videos; one claiming that the darker blue shading in the game's logo was a hint, one that said there was a small bit of purple behind mario's head on the box, and my absolute favorite; a tutorial video where the person uses a cheat device to invert Luigi's color.

I was really excited when you talked about it. The last time I saw a hoax that fooled many people was Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's The Grinch Leak last year.
