** Kingpin Pud is a legendary minion that resummons all of the members of "the ogre gang" (a set of three specific synergy minions) that died this game. However, he can ''also'' resummon Boulderfist Ogre, a largely unremarkable VanillaUnit that's nonetheless [[MemeticMutation memed]] as being the most powerful card in the game.



*** The majority of UnusableEnemyEquipment minions have incredibly funny, bizarre, or otherwise elaborate lines when attacking, which can only be heard if you manage to steal them.



*** In the ''Knights of the Frozen Throne'' adventure, The Lich King has a different cheat card for every class which he plays on the first turn. Since these are treated as spells, they can be interacted with if you have the right set up, which were [[DevelopersForesight properly accounted for]].
*** As Mage, you can play Kabal Lackey for 1 mana to make your next Secret cost 0. If you play {{Counterspell}}, he'll ask how that got past QA. If you instead ''[[PowerCopying Mana Bind]]'' it, he complains that nobody tests these adventures.
*** As Priest, his card has the joke effect of Silencing your hero, which causes all of your emotes to be muffled. However, you can Mind Vision to steal the card, which will causes all of ''his'' voicelines to be muffled as well.

*** Turning into Lord Jaraxxus while facing off against Prince Malchezaar will have him complain why Jaraxxus was invited to the party while he wasn't. Jaraxxus explains it's because he kills at karaoke, before [[HollywoodToneDeaf demonstrating his singing skills]].

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/BugFables'':
** In Chapter 3, the party gets the option to see Bugaria through a telescope, a view that the player can move around. Looking towards the right end above the border of the land will show a large, shadowy figure barely visible in the distance. [[spoiler:This is confirmed to be Dead Lander Omega, an unknown monstrous being that is glimpsed at closer much later in the game.]]
** Naming the save file certain codes will activate modes for that save. They range from cosmetic (turning most characters in to Tanjirin) to simply changing the gameplay (randomizing [[ThePinIsMightierThanTheSword Medals]]) to being a difficulty booster. With the exception of TUFFBUGS, which enables multiple codes at once, all of the codes can be found by completing certain extra challenges not even tied to the game's standard achievement system.
** A hidden {{superboss}} can be fought in the Cave of Trials by having either a Tangy Berry in the fourth item slot when it is completed or by having four Tangy Berries in the inventory.

** Wait on the file select menu while it is dark for around 40 seconds and Peppino will [[JumpScare suddenly leap out at the screen screaming]] with a [[NightmareFace huge, gaping mouth]] and [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou forcefully closing the game]]. While the lights are on, you can click on Peppino (or press the Mach Run button if you're using a controller) to beat him up. He'll contort in comical ways, including turning into a pizza, and will [[WhatTheHellPlayer clench his fist in anger]] once you stop.
** Hold the parry button as Peppino to breakdance and spawn a boombox.

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/NewHorizons'', has plenty, mostly regarding Pirates of the Caribbean, and set on Isla de Muerta. Though there are also other ones present:
** Joshamee Gibbs can be found in the tavern on Tortuga/La Tortue, with voice lines from the movies. He asks to join as a boatswain, and then gives Jack Sparrow's compass to allow access to Isla de Muerta.
** Blackbeard waits at Witch's Rock, armed with the Sword of Triton. Unless you know his weakness, however, he's invincible. Defeating him grants the most powerful - and useful - melee weapon in the game.
** Hendrik Van der Decken, the original captain of the dreaded Flying Dutchman according to the legend, appears himself in the bones, and resides inside a shipwreck at the coast. He mostly serves to sell movie-ships, but is also the only way to obtain quest-exclusive ships that would be Lost Forever should they get sunk or sold, with some very rare ones for good measure. He also offers every type of cannon in the game, including some unique ones, and one Infinity +1 Sword - with their prices to match.
** Clint Eastwood in his role as Dirty Harry is hidden somewhere in the jungles of Nevis with a small shack. He exchanges some words, and then comes gunning with four horse pistols - or a freakin' shotgun when playing in Arcade Sailing Mode.
** Edward Kenway's flag can be chosen as personal pirate flag in the Beyond New Horizons-version. The long awaited Black Flag 2 is finally here, ladies and gentlemen!
** Generally there are a lot of playable characters from different books, movies, and games. Including Geralt of Rivia, of all people.

* On ''Website/Neopets'', searching for some things in the site's mean search bar can yield interesting results. Searching for "cheat" causes several images of robotic Chombies to appear, along with a message saying that cheats aren't allowed and attack Chombies are being dispatched. "Asparagus" yields a cartoony drawing of Adam, one of the site's founders, accompanied by text saying "You can't have it, [[TrademarkFavoriteFood it's all MINE!]]". "Treasure" yields a Pirate Grarrl saying "ARRRR! YE BE SEEKING TREASURE!". The site used to return a fake error if users searched for items sold in Jelly World (as part of a RunningGag about how Jelly World supposedly does not exist), but no longer does.

** The ''VideoGame/DukeNukem3D Plutonium Pak'' CD, which patches Registered v1.3D to v1.4 and adds a fourth episode, contains a CD audio track of the finished version of "Grab Bag", the game's title music. A little-known fact about the tune is that the UsefulNotes/{{MIDI}} version included in ''Duke Nukem 3D'' is actually incomplete. In response to increasing interest, on June 2, 2014, Lee Jackson [[http://leejacksonaudio.lbjackson.com/ released the complete MIDI]].

** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'': The spirit of one of the Composer Brothers will appear before Link when he enters the Spring Water Cave in Ikana, and begins to curse him and slowly drain his health. Playing the Song of Storms that the other Brother composed will heal his spirit. Playing the Song of Healing, the standard tune in the game for this kind of purification and healing effect, will have the ghost pause and say that it soothes him but that it's not enough to make him stop the curse and spare Link.

Moving Paper Mario to the RPG section, adding Super Mario RPG.


* ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'': In the postgame, you can buy a robotic duplicate of Tippi the Pixl named Tiptron, if you go and visit Francis in World 3. Tiptron's tattle readings are exactly the same as Tippi's for most characters, but if used on Francis Tiptron will begin to say that 'He created me...', before seemingly having an identity crisis and desperately trying to assert that she's the real Tippi.

** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'':
*** Going behind a curtain in Booster Tower will have Mario emerge with his original 8-bit appearance from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1''. It only lasts for the room before Mario automatically runs back in to the curtain and changes back.
*** [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]] and [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Samus]] can be found sleeping in beds at different inns after clearing certain events, which need to be backtracked to in order to see. Link's cameo is missable as he disappears when another event is completed, but Samus stays in her bed for the rest of the game.
** ''VideoGame/PaperMario64'': If you left the controller idle on the Chapter start screen (e.g. the ones that displayed the Chapter's title), the original version of the ''Super Mario Bros.'' theme would play.
