* Psycho Mantis can read ''the player's'' mind by reading memory card data, providing a detailed analysis of the player's proficiency at the game (how good they are at stealth and combat, and how frequently they've saved their game), and suggesting that the player enjoys certain games like, say, ''[[Castlevania]]'', [[Awesome Series|for instance,]] or ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros]] Melee'' in the Gamecube port. Even better, in the japanese version, having save data from both [[Snatcher]] and [[Policenauts]] unlocks a special message from [[Hideo Kojima]].

* If you don't take the SOCOM pistol from the truck in the heliport, the cutscene when Meryl lets you out of the cell will be different. Snake will push aside the barrel of her gun instead of aiming back at her.

* If you attack Meryl when she's following you, she'll [[Armor-Piercing Slap|slap you and knock you down]] normally, although if you hide in a box afterwards, she can't hit you back. However, if you do this in an area with wolfdogs that are friendly to her, she'll instead whistle and cause one of them to pee on your box, and wearing that same box afterwards will cause the wolfdogs to ignore you due to the scent.

* There are two ways you can get a 'Mission Failed' which are highly unlikely in normal gameplay: falling down the lift shaft on Strut A and letting the bomb explode after the battle with Fatman. Both of these have their own specially-created images for the game over screen.

* The game takes into account the fact that certain bosses can be defeated in different ways. The cutscene after the Olga fight varies depending on where she was when you shot her, and Fatman is visibly still alive and breathing after the fight if you take him out with a non-lethal weapon.

* At one point in the game, you have to find a hostage by calling out to them, [[Holler Button|with a button command that stops working after the hostage is found]]. If you then backtrack to the room with a parrot in it, and call out to the parrot enough times (ten or eleven. With no indication that what you're doing is recognised by the game), it learns to say the phrase and adds it into its usual repertoire.

** The parrot can also learn to say "Enemy sighted, requesting backup" if you get caught too much in that area.

* When the player sees a cardboard box in the Strut connection area early in the game, he or she might decide to shoot it and cause the occupant to retreat quickly. This is later reflected in a codec call about the box, with Pliskin irritably telling Raiden that thanks to him, a couple of his boxes were destroyed before stopping himself, should the player decide to do that.

* Calling your [[Mission Control]] when you're imprisoned, saving and then loading the game causes Snake to have a nightmare, which manifests itself as a demo for a scrapped action game called Guy Savage.

* During the short period of time you have Eva in your party, so to speak, you can check her medical history. Turns out she has breast implants, she has eaten a Tsuchinoko, [[Squick|and]] [[wikipedia:Proctitis|Proctitis]]. Is it possible for Kojima to troll his own series?

** This can be seen as [[Fridge Horror]], if you consider that the proctitis is usually in the midst of electrical burns and other wounds caused by the sadistic pervert [[Depraved Bisexual]] [[Big Bad]]. Yep.

** Better yet, if you tranquilize her (which significantly slows down her stamina drain), she'll start talking in her sleep about Snake, The Boss and her dog, and makes several sexually suggestive double entendres.

** If you harass Eva enough times while you're paired up with her, she kicks you in the crotch hard enough to cause an instakill and a Game Over.
