>>24994752You may remember the Dragon Ball Z game: Buu's Fury, for the Gameboy Advance. There's a level-up system that let's you increase your stats as you gain levels. The entire time I played that game, all the way through to the post-story content, I was completely unaware of this feature, and had essentially been playing the game on secret hard mode.
It's kind of like that, but Risu things like this intentionally.
