Rayman 2: The Great Escape

In the Nintendo 64 version of the game, in the cutscene during the Iron Mountains level where Rayman is riding the hot air balloon, repeatedly mashing the Z button before Rayman jumps off will cause one of two different hidden messages to appear:

• ALWAYS BET ON DUKE !
• COME GET SOME !

These are both references to Duke Nukem.

If you have a full inventory up until the point where Porky's mom squashes Buzz Buzz, he will notice that Ness can't hold the Sound Stone right now and won't give it to him. Instead, he will transport it to Tracy, meaning that you don't have to hold the Sound Stone in your inventory for the entire game and it will still record the melodies of the "Your Sanctuary" locations even in Tracy's possession. Normally, the Sound Stone remains in your inventory for the whole game and cannot be held by Escargo Express. If you do wish to have the Sound Stone back from Tracy, you must talk to her in-person.

One of the news articles and forum posts that appear in the game talk about the announcement of a new nonexistent handheld device from Bandai called the "WonderHawk", touted as the successor to the also nonexistent device the "WonderSwan Revolution". In reality, the only new models Bandai made after the original WonderSwan were the WonderSwan Color and the SwanCrystal. All three were originally meant to be competitors to the Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance, and all three were outsold by them, leading to the WonderSwan's discontinuation in 2003, the year after this game's release in Japan.

In the original game, the mural in Hyrule Castle Town was blurry and hard to make out. In Twilight Princess HD, the textures were updated with clearer, brand new designs. Notably, this updated mural features a Rito, a species which does not exist at the time the game takes place nor in the series' Child Timeline.

Separately, in the Temple of Time, a picture frame can be found with a backwards message written in Hylian along the lower border. Translating it reveals a hidden developer credit: "Jack Kirby Crosby Made This".

Crosby, a graphics designer working for Tantalus on the HD remaster of Twilight Princess, later confirmed that he was responsible for both that credit and the mural, the latter of which was the result of a higher-up at Nintendo asking for some reliefs in Hyrule Castle Town to be redone in the same style as a shop he had re-textured. The new mural design was inspired by Crosby's own idea of a story for a Zelda game and drew additional inspiration from a Zelda art book without any story direction from Nintendo, meaning the events depicted therein are non-canon.

In Level 3-17, after blasting yourself down past a set of two crushers, you will come to a split path with two scientists on each side. Going down the left path and activating the switch at the end will open a pit which will lead to a small laboratory featuring a creature contained inside of a tube. Destroying the tube will trigger a bonus cutscene featuring The Maw, the titular star of Twisted Pixel Games' first game released a few months earlier in 2009, getting sucked out into space as 'Splosion Man nearly gets sucked out himself before waving goodbye, and cutting to a shot of The Maw hungrily swimming after a suffocating scientist. This cutscene rewards you with an Xbox Achievement called "Eventual Destruction of a Galaxy".

The song that plays during Map 09: Deimos Anomaly, "Breath of Horror", features several slowed down voices saying something unintelligible. Speeding up the song reveals that it is actually several slightly edited copies of the same sound clip of a few people singing what most closely resembles the phrase "Danny won! Hey!" and noises that fans have speculated sounds like a ping-pong match happening in the background. When asked about the origin of the clip in a 2010 Game Scares interview with the PlayStation version's composer Aubrey Hodges, he said:

"I did use a spoken phrase in that piece from a previous game but I can neither confirm or deny it’s exact content. Hehe"

At Lakehill Seattle Hospital, while Ellie is looking for Nora, she holds a guard named Whitney at knifepoint, who is seen during the game playing a PlayStation Vita. The game she is playing is Hotline Miami, as indicated by the second floor of Chapter 7: Neighbors on the Vita's screen and the song "Hydrogen" playing in the background.

In a 2020 Eurogamer interview with the game's co-director Neil Druckmann, he revealed that they were originally going to use a previous Naughty Dog game in that scene, until they thought:

"Okay, is there an opportunity here to just make some meta-statement about the kind of narrative we're after? And we're also just huge fans of Hotline Miami - like, I love that game. I love the engine of that game. So we reached out to those guys, and they were nice enough to let us put it in there."

If you get the Dragon Fang through trading or by hacking it into the game rather than getting it from the shrine within Dragon's Den, Clair will call you out for cheating and will not give you the Rising Badge until you get the Dragon Fang yourself:

Clair: "You did not get that at Dragon's Den. Trying to cheat like that… I'm disappointed in you."

If you can sequence break by acquiring the Grapple Beam and Bombs early, a quicker way to defeat Kraid can be performed during the second phase of his fight. Spoiler:By bombing the bottom left corner of the area once the second phase starts, a Morph Ball Launcher can be accessed which will shoot Samus into Kraid's stomach, where you can continually bomb him to death so long as Samus has enough health, which will gradually be drained the longer she is in Kraid's stomach.

Additionally, acquiring the Flash Shift through sequence breaking gives Samus an additional way of attacking Kraid. Spoiler:When the Spider Magnet platform raises back up to Kraid's face, Samus can Flash Shift into Kraid's mouth and hold onto it for a short period of time to get some shots in.

In Part I: The American Dream - Chapter Three: Playing It Bogart, if the player goes past Rico Muerte's room and goes down the hall where the boarded up doorway is, destroy it and follow where the blood trail leads. There's a dead body with a stake in his back, and a word on the floorboard that said "BUFF" written by him with his own blood. This is a reference to the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
