Line 6:
Every popular game has a rumor around it that elevates into near urban legend, and perhaps due to an oversight or hanging plot thread it seems ''just'' [[Inferred Survival|plausible]]. It's not hard to believe them, since the games often have ''real'' secrets and glitches that are [[Reality Is Unrealistic|so bizarre that they sound made-up]] (such as the ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' and ''[[Star Wars]]'' parodies [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOxbkuD-JZI you can unlock] in ''[[Silent Hill]] 3'', or the fact that Iggy Koopa's fireballs in ''[[Super Mario World (video game)|Super Mario World]]'' will turn into glitchy blobs if you slide into them). Yet no matter how much evidence is eventually against it, the rumor just won't die.
A common source of these is [[April Fools' Day|April Fool's]] issues of popular gaming magazines. After all, if it's in print, it must be true! ...not quite. Other sources include mistranslated lines, aspects of the game being [[Dummied Out]], and [[Missing Secret]]s. If this sort of thing is ''so'' popular that developers [[Sure, Why Not?| find it doable]], it may evolve into [[Ascended Fanon]] or [[Ascended Meme]].
Sometimes, the game's creators will include a character or a feature in the sequel because of these rumors. For instance, when a cameo appearance of Cut Man in ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]] 7'' led to a rumor that he was in the game as a secret boss, Capcom added him as a secret boss in the Saturn port of ''8'' (he also appears as a secret boss in ''[[Mega Man X]] 8'', probably an [[Shout-Out|in-joke reference]] to this).
