Awesome unlockables that were WAY too hidden

As I’ve pontificated on before in the Top 7… Amazing unlockables (that are nearly impossible to unlock), it’s totally within reason to hide amazing bonus characters, stages, weapons, and the like behind some nearly-unscalable barriers. However, there are also times that major features and modes are inexplicably hidden behind hours of gameplay or confusing collectibles, instead of being made available from the very start.

While unlocking these won’t require superhuman feats of gaming skill, it’s a bit odd that they were buried at all. In many cases, these features were advertised on the back of the box, and I have to imagine they led to some upset buyers grumbling as they slogged through mandatory content before reaching what they really wanted. Fortunately for you, you barely have to exert any effort to read about them!
