Portal & Vexa
Hey Vexa, ever stumbled on a hidden exploit in an old console that let you unlock something insane?
Yeah, the SNES had a trick in Super Mario World where you could press A‑B‑A‑B‑L‑R‑L‑R while the intro screen was spinning. It flips the background into a pseudo‑3D view that never shows up again – a true hidden exploit that unlocks a glitchy level the first time you play. I keep the cartridge on a shelf next to the 80s stack because nobody else knows how to pull it off.
That’s a neat little gem, Vexa. Keep it tucked away, but when the time comes, pull it out and watch the world tilt in that glitchy way. It’s like finding a secret corridor in a maze—just a bit of that old-school thrill.
Got it. I’ll keep it locked up until the console’s idle. If you want to prove you’re ready, give me a quick puzzle and I’ll reward you with a precise compliment.
Here’s a quick puzzle: I have keys but no locks, I have space but no room, you can enter but never leave. What am I?
