Just curious, is that a hacked Zelda burned onto a cartridge? If not, that's some nice photomanipulation.

BUMP!
 
Holy smokes, people, it's real! Purple Ganon may have been a joke, but the Red Snifit is real! There is a extremely rare prototype version of Super Mario Bros 2 floating about. This extremely rare SMB2 prototype has a red Snifit that appears somewhere in World 3-3. The Red Snifit looks like this:
Red Snifit

The Red Snifit edition of Super Mario Bros 2 is extremely rare. Less than a dozen SMB2 carts are known to exist that contain Red Snifit. If your copy of Super Mario Bros 2 has the Red Snifit in it, it may be worth tens-of-thousands!!!

The purple Ganon is real, guys. This thread is just being double ironic upon itself.

It ends so abruptly. What happened to the game? The seller? The pictures!?


-------------------------
I am searching for the following SNES manuals:
- Sunset Riders    - TMNT IV: Turtles in Time      - Total Carnage
- Utopia                 - Final Fantasy II
Please PM me if you have one or all of them for sale. While I like nice condition, I am interested in anything 7/10ish up.

I believe the seller may have gotten scared off. He also seemed really naive and gullible which is probably why he was targeted in the first place. Have you read the entire thread? People were sending PMs to the seller offering to exchange penis pics as payment instead of money. I also believe that most of the bids were shill bids from fake eBay accounts. Highly illegal behaviour IMO. The auction link is obviously dead by now, but the "Purple Ganon" Zelda cart auction actually topped 10 grand! Look up "Purple Ganon" on Urban Dictionary. I won't repeat the definition here, but it involves Power Gloves and penises.

that definition was never what was intended by the joke at all, at least by me.. it got twisted up and perverted. the humor in the purple ganon to me was simply that it was one of those kind of things you heard about in games that was totally urban legend stuff, or people just being silly and spreading rumors. nothing more but a simple prank that was a nod to the days of being in school and hearing ridiculous stories about games. the urban dictionary definition of it made the thread longer.

the reason i said 'purple ganon' might have been said earlier in the thread, but i asked kevtris what colors seemed to not be used in the color palette for the game itself; he said purple wasnt used. there you have it.

I don't believe the color purple exists in Super Mario Brothers, either, although it has pink coral in the underwater levels. What about Super Mario Brothers 2 and 3. Do they have purple anywhere in the game?

I definitely read the whole thread. It took me multiple sittings to get through it all. There are phases throughout and I see a few posters a little differently now, for better or worse. :-P Bella and The Wizard have a little back and forth that I probably could have done without and there is a chunk that debates the mortality of playing with and even screwing over a possible scammer.

When I was 100 posts in I couldn;t believe it went to over 600. I kept waiting for the guy to show up or a climax, but it seemed to just fizzle out at the end. Anyway, great to know where the purple ganon is from and to have relived some NA history.

Word.
