The last scene of the game's opening cinematic features Ness approaching Giant Step, alone, at nighttime. However, this is impossible to do in the actual game. The only two times that Spoiler:Onett (the town where Giant Step is located) can be explored at night time are at the meteor crash, the search for Picky at the very beginning of the game, and Spoiler:Giygas's last-minute invasion of Onett near the end of the game. During the former, Spoiler:Ness cannot obtain the key to the Shack, which is required to access Giant Step. During the latter, Spoiler:Ness has a full party of four, meaning that he cannot access Giant Step on his own.
