Mew truck

Pokemon red and blue

This is one of the more popular rumors out there, which takes place in Pokemon Red and Blue. Rumors say that a Mew hid under a truck and parked on a ledge that was a little hidden. There was no way to confirm this, but the rumor took off.

As you probably suspected, this rumor was not true. Nintendo never explained the truck, but in later Pokemon games this rumor has been recognized. Instead of being a truck that serves no purpose, you can find items hidden under it.

Herobrine's existence

Minecraft

This is another absolute classic that is still referred to this day. Who is exactly Herobrine? Visually he looks like Steve with white eyes. He is also rumored to destroy things that you build in the world. The thing is that Herobrine has never existed. This did not prevent players from all over the world from having Herobrine “observations”.

There is no white -eyed version of Steve, but an interesting phenomenon took place, where Herobrine was mainly spoken to existence. Sure, he wasn't really to start with, but he is in a lot of Minecraft -Mods and even ranked 46th place on a survey for the best video game villain (through Guinness World Records). Who knew that all this would come from a 4chan post?

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Bigfoot is a cryptid that many people claim to be real in our world, but these adopted observations have even entered the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. In the back and beyond, there were rumors of a lurking Sasquatch that caught the attention of players very shortly after the match was launched.

GTA: San Andreas could be modified, leading to many fake Bigfoot observations.

However, it was never a bigfoot. Interestingly, it seems that some players thought that hunger noise from CJ's stomach was actually Bigfoot's Rumble. This turned out to be false, but Bigfoot entered the Grand Theft Auto 5 as an Easter egg.

Minus world

Super Mario Bros.

Did you ever hear the rumors of a secret Super Mario Bros. -The level that you could take care of? In the world 1-2 in this game from 1985 you can enter this hidden world. Interestingly, it is actually called World 36-1, but it was shown as “-1 world” which gave it the name minus the world.

However, this is not just a playground rumors; Minus World is real! We found an article from 2010 and translated information about the minus world from Miyamoto itself. He mentions that the world is a mistake, but since it is not a game crash it is a feature.

Not missing.

Pokemon red and blue

This is another rumor that takes place in Pokemon Red and Blue. This is technically an error, but it is shown as a swirling of pixels named Missingno., Which causes players to spread the rumors of not missing. is another pokemon -species.

Rumors of not missing. Is a Pokémon is not true, but it is true that you can grab the game and see it. Nintendo has actually taken up this error and says that if you try to catch it you can ruin your game. Of course, this led to even more interest in missing.

Tomb Raiders nude code

Tomemas

Lara Croft is quite the sex symbol, so it makes sense that there were rumored code that you could use to make her naked. We even found a video game magazine that was published in 1997 that explained how to do it.

In the article you are instructed to basically press in time to wannabe of spice girls. The article even mentions a spokesman from the core that someone under 18 does not have “Rythmn” (spelled error) to use the code. None of this is true, but you can find players over the internet who still claim it is real.

If you have the original Tomb Raider (1996), try!

L is real 2401

Super Mario 64

Super Mario 64 was launched in 1996, but you could only play as Mario. In the castle's farm in the game you can find a statue that seems to be etched with words that read “L is real 2401” or just the phrase “Eternal star”. The latter alternative is more meaningful, but “L is real 2401” became an immediate rumor.

When I was for Luigi, players thought that if you gathered every coin in the world (all 2,401 of them) and returned to the statue, Luigi would become a playable character. So am I real? Miyamoto mentioned that Luigi would be in the game originally, but it was scrapped; However, this can back up L. Overall overall this seems to be false.

24 years and one month (2401) after the launch of Super Mario 64 revealed a leak a character model for Luigi in the game. It is up to you to decide whether this proves that L is real or not!
