The GameCube's iconic start-up sound, a nostalgic melody for many gamers, has been hiding a quirky secret for the past 23 years. Unveiled recently by an employee at Secret Castle Toys, a local game shop in Owensboro, Kentucky, the alternate version of the well-known xylophone jingle is causing a stir on the internet, leaving gamers surprised that such a delightful Easter egg remained undiscovered for so long.
According to the Secret Castle Toys employee, who shared the revelation through a TikTok video, unlocking this hidden gem is a simple process. All it takes is holding down the Z button on the controller while booting up the console. Once successfully activated, the familiar xylophone tune is replaced by a sequence of amusing squeaks, reminiscent of a squeaky dog toy being stepped on repeatedly. Meanwhile, the console's animated G-shaped logo unfolds on the screen, accompanied by the laughter of a child, providing an unexpected twist to the usual start-up experience.
Kotaku, after thorough testing, confirmed the legitimacy of this secret intro sound. Remarkably, it had remained largely unnoticed since the GameCube's launch in 2001. The TikTok video's comments section is now flooded with users expressing their astonishment at missing out on such an easily accessible secret, though some claim to have been aware of it for years.
