    This reminds me of the Nozomi cheat in Shenmue (found by BlueMue). Essentially, in order to fulfill the requirements, you need to feed the cat to reach a certain “friendship” value (1000) with the cat. Then, as Nozomi is being harassed at the park in particular cutscene, you need to enter a very particular button code. When the cutscene ends, Nozomi will fight alongside you, doing Ryo’s moves, even able to do Arm Break Fire… it’s pretty hilarious.

    I really love when stuff like this gets unearthed so many years later after the game’s release. Just when you think there’s everything to know about a certain game, then boom, an amazing hidden secret that no one had figured out after all these years until now.
    It reminds me of when we found out that Shin Akuma was within SFA2 (SNES)’s code and it was finally revealed after 20 something years later on how to access him too. As someone thats getting into coding, seeing secrets, cut content, leaks, etc get unearthed from my favorite video games after so many years just intrigues me even more. Never underestimate the fanbase, man.

    What really gets me is how he was looking at the source code and still couldn't tell in any way that Sonic was in there until he goofed around and tested the game.
    Which really lends credence to the Mortal Kombat claim that stuff still hasn't been found. You can literally be looking directly at the code, and still not be able to figure out convoluted secrets.

      Characters were "unlocked" but then you buy a new game at full price with only 4 extra characters, the next year.
      Also, no new characters = game dies, another reality. In todays heavy FGC market, dlc keeps games alive.
