Some of the levels seemed like you could jump over the flag pole, but it would grab it from the other side. Then Mario lost levels had one where you could get passed the flag and it felt so good finally being able to do it.
Tap for spoiler
Until you got to the end and it turned out to be a warp zone that brought you backwards instead of forwards lol
Donkey Kong Country did this to me forever
Also at the end of the level. I remember 3 had balloons n stuff there.
Mario world has some secret exits you had to access by going under the goal and past the ending as well.
Mario bros 1-2

Super Mario Bros. 2/Lost Levels is full of fucked up stuff like this. Probably why they initially didn’t release it in the US lol
Super Mario World has to be one of the most creative when it comes to hidden exits and worlds.
I remember when a friend showed me the “Super Secret Area” that you can mine for 1ups and capes and it blew my mind.
Fuck, what an amazing game.
Yup.
Metroid.
The morph ball is to the left to show you that the screen scrolls both directions, as most games at the time didn’t let you go “backwards”
