Like jumping through the boss doors in Mega Man.

Technically someone could play through all the classic Mega Man games without ever jumping through a boss door but I'm pretty sure that's never actually happened.

What else?

Looking up skirts with the camera.

*Repeatedly rolls in the corner in final fantasy type-0 HD, going up and down the stairs in tormented souls, climbing latters and sneaking a peak in nier automata, glitching the camera in PS2 kingdom hearts 2, etc. etc.*

Milking goombas for 30 or 40 lives on the second level of SMB3. I don't need the extra lives, but I always do it.

E-excuse me? You telling me I've been mashing the A button for YEARS and I didn't have to?
Wild ARMs is still the best JRPG series in my opinion and we desperately need a new game in the series!

Walked around in GTAV following people around and listening in on their phone calls.
Every day I wake up and promise I will be nice to everyone, then I deal with people at work and remember why that will never happen.

I never knew people mashed while fishing. I can kinda see how someone could make that mistake, if I think about it. But no, you don't have to.

Can't believe I forgot about such a obvious thing I always do no matter what, lol.

Even popped up as an trophy in the rondo of blood/symphony of the night bundle I believe.

I remember when the Gen 4 Pokmon games came out there was a lie/rumor going around that if you yelled gotcha into the DS mic when trying to catch a Pokmon it would increase the catch rate. My friend and I did this. We probably looked like a couple of idiots

It is faster, as long as you angle your rolls well when you need to turn. But walking backwards is faster than both, and not many kids playing probably did that.
