The Kirby franchise got started back in 1992 with Kirby's Dream Land on Game Boy. Since then, there have been a plethora of games that star Nintendo's pink puffball, and Kirby has even branched out and partnered with restaurant chains, apparel, toys, and more.

As one of Nintendo's most iconic characters, fans continue to play Kirby games old and new. In playing through 2000's Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, one fan recently discovered a cheat that seems to have gone unnoticed for over twenty years.

Just a few days ago, a Kirby player uploaded a video on Twitter showcasing what seems to be a brand new cheat for Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. The trick is to have a second controller plugged into the device and reset the second file to empty. The third file will also need to be at 0 percent. The next step is to hold the L button and then do a specific button combination of C up, C up, R, C right, C left, and then start. If done correctly, the third file should now be at 100 percent completion.

The trick does not appear to work on the Wii Virtual Console, but does work on any other device that allows C button mapping, and it works in all regions. There are plenty of Kirby fans out there, but it seems like this may be the first time this specific cheat has been discovered. The fact that Kirby 64: the Crystal Shards has been around for over two decades and new secrets are just now being discovered is quite remarkable.

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards is available now on Nintendo 64 and Wii U Virtual Console.
