* 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 (Video Game)|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.

* You can unlock, with some difficulty, the Solar Gun from ''[[Boktai (Video Game)|Boktai]]''. It's very powerful, but difficult and impractical to use due to its limited ammo capacity and the fact that you can only recharge it manually in sunlight. Sunlight, of course, is a stock vampire weakness and the Solar Gun in ''Boktai'' kills vampires, so naturally, a player might consider using it on Vamp. He has a special animation and response to the shot (which is almost impossible to land due to how insanely fast he is), and fully-charged it can knock him down him in a single hit.

* Similar to ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater]]'', spinning Snake around on the model viewer/OctoCamo selection screen will result in Snake vomiting.

* Have Snake die in various ways, continue, and then call Rosemary. Snake (or, in the event that Snake was killed via an explosion, Rosemary) will begin the call stating that he got the feeling that he was killed before in the specific manner in which the player died.

* There's a couple of joke [[Dating Sim]] missions where you can date either Paz or [[Gay Option|Kaz]]. Normally, the game prohibits you from taking weapons into the dates, but if you hack the game to allow you to take them, you can kill them. When Kaz [[Everything Fades|fades]], his glasses remain and clatter onto the sand.

* While the Codec lines in ''Peace Walker'' are usually generic or generic for the stage, thus making them hardly worth bothering with for the majority of players, making Big Boss stand on a specific riverbank in a specific stage after recruitment of Huey, the man who will become Otacon's father, leads him to remark that [[Futureshadowing|he always gets a bad feeling when he looks out at the water]]. (''[[Metal Gear Solid 2]]'' revealed that Otacon's father committed suicide by drowning himself.)

* The game has two situations prepared depending on how well the CQC quick action cutscene turned out for the player: If the player successfully managed to do the CQC, the player will be able to use the ID card that Snake stole from Strangelove earlier to escape from the cell, although the call with Miller after Snake escapes will be somewhat short. If the player fails, the player can utilize a jigsaw strapped onto him, and after escaping, Miller's codec call will have him reference the Jigsaw.
