Do you think it was to encourage people to buy the game guide or were they just creating some extreme Easter eggs? Either way, that golden chocobo quest was fricking insane.

I think Earthbound had a few of these spots where without the internet or a guide your life could be extremely difficult.

I might be more inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt if games guides weren't (practically) always released on the same day as the game, and usually positioned right next to it in the store. If you were hiding easter eggs, you probably wouldn't give away the easter egg the moment you release the game

I can't think of any except maybe having to stand still and not touch the controller for 3 minutes being the "password" to get into Belch's Lair, but I figured that out as a kid (even though I bought it used without the strategy guide). At least at retail they included the strategy guide with that game. Fantastic game.
