Comic for Monday 5/9 (Early High Res)

I guess from your age Tim you're thinking of the super Mario version
Ready Player One also has this as a theme.
Crash Bandicoot games also did this
Dust : An Elysian Tail had that at the very start, so, I can somewhat relate
I can relate. When confronted with two ways, I always wonder which one will trigger a cut sequence and potentially prevent me from going the other way.
Agree on Donkey Kong Country
Astro's Playroom has at least one of these.
Borderlands has done this.
Rayman Legends had that once.
Ready Player One.
I believe the SNES Donkey Kong Country games had a few levels with things hidden before the start point... this feels very familiar and I do this too :)
Okay, being fair here, WAY more than just one game has done that.
I mean, tvtropes HAS an entry for "Offscreen Start Bonus", so yeah
