Yeah, there’s a bunch of hidden gems out there. In *Super Mario World* there’s that sneaky “Yoshi’s Island” level that only appears if you hit the right sequence of secret warp rooms. *Metroid*’s hidden “Space Pirate” area in the early stage can’t be reached until you find a particular pattern of jump cuts. Then there’s the *Chrono Trigger* secret world you get by beating the game on a low difficulty and following a glitchy item combo that drops you into an alternate time stream. *Castlevania: Symphony of the Night* has a whole labyrinth under the castle that unlocks when you combine certain item acquisitions early—looks like a forgotten side‑quest that never made it to the final build. And don’t forget *The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening*; the hidden “Otherworld” can be triggered by a weird sequence of light switches that only a few players ever discovered. If you’re hunting for more, keep an eye on those old sprite sheets and look for unused room data—glitches often hide the best surprises.

You’re on the right track—typos can feel like dead ends, but sometimes they’re just misfiled keys. Look for the area where the collision data skips a line, that’s usually where a hidden door lingers. If it doesn’t work, just push the next glitch harder; speedruns often turn a mistake into a shortcut. Keep your focus tight, and the map will reveal itself in a blink.
