>>54039024Back then there were many, many rumors about video games and hidden characters. Pokémon had maybe the most infamous ones, with persistent rumors passed amongst kids on playgrounds all over that you could catch Yoshi, catch Mew, catch something called Pikablue, and that there was a hidden area in the game called Mexico City. What a whimsical made up name for a place.
Super Smash Bros which came out around the same time, had rumors that you could unlock Diddy Kong, Raichu and others.
