playing a game in its entirety ain’t
nobody got time for that
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
10 video game shortcuts passbook for
this list we’ve got the most useful
unique or game-breaking shortcuts to
help you save time in a game with
precedence given to those that are most
used or famous mr. bugs
we’re obviously excluding fast travel
options because we know that’s not
really a shortcut and as always one
entry per franchise number 10 various
map shortcuts Monster Hunter 4 ultimate
longtime fans of the franchise know tons
of secrets everything from the quickest
path to a powder stone to the locations
away Vern is most likely to go to is
fair game and in a game where
maneuvering the various areas on the map
quickly and efficiently is absolutely
necessary learning the various unmarked
shortcuts is very important whether it
be hopping across the palm trees to get
from area 3 to area 11 in the dunes at
night or dropping down the hole in the
starting zone to get to area 3 in the
primal forest these shortcuts are bound
to be useful to all players number 9
jumping the abyss destiny while some
shortcuts are easy and may have been
made purposefully others require a bit
more effort to let you skip ahead
jumping them all in the abyss area in
the crota raid is certainly helpful but
it takes a bit more preparation than
some
you need to have high agility and the
jump height boosts on for this to work
but the payoff is worth it allowing you
to skip the lantern part which is pretty
annoying even for experienced players
while the shortcut may only skip a
couple of minutes worth of gameplay
those few minutes could be the few that
your group needs to clear the final
battle
number eight dinner with pagan min
farcry for you sir are a gentleman I
sincerely apologize we saw terrorists in
the area and yadda-yadda are you capable
of listening and doing what you’re told
most players will get to the opening
part of Far Cry 4 and leave the dinner
table when pagan min takes that ever
important call the way they’re expected
to you know please stay right here enjoy
the crab rangoon don’t move I will be
right back however those players then
actually decide that waiting around for
their new potential friend is worth it
are treated to a quick ending to the
game which ends with pagan min returning
his promised he quickly befriends the
player takes him to deliver the ashes
and then they go hang out at a shooting
range
man that was easy I’m so glad we’re
finally back together
after you number seven the Train switch
starfox 64 over the lost battles
involving trains always have a few
distinct tropes to watch for going
through a tunnel
wires and signs above unclasping various
cars
well Star Fox 64 put some of those to
good use during the fight with Macbeth
who is attached to a train that you’ll
need to be dealing with for the duration
of the level you’ll have to try to hit
eight switch flags and then finally a
switcher which pep you will point out to
you okay
now what if you successfully hit all
nine targets the train will crash into
the enemy weapons facility ending the
battle early and destroying Macbeth No
number six Rainbow Road Mario Kart 64
if any series is famous for their
shortcuts it’s gotta be Mario Cart with
almost every track having at least one
usable shortcut that requires a mushroom
to make it any faster few tracks relies
solely on driving ability however
Rainbow Road is that one legendary track
known for its incredible length that
doesn’t really have any shortcuts or at
least not official ones but in fact with
proper timing and positioning you can
hop the track in Mario Kart 64 to skip a
massive portion of the race you can
easily hop from last to first with good
use of this but the risk is huge
number 5 shortcut to lost is a lift from
demon ruins Dark Souls few games put
quite as much effort into level and
world design as Dark Souls did with
different shortcuts opening constantly
Dark Souls gave the impression of being
sent in a huge interconnected world
instead of just being a sequence of
corridors
with options like using the master key
to skip Blighttown by passing through
the valley of Drake’s or making use of
Havel’s tower it’s hard to ignore the
shortcuts here however using the
shortcut to lost islets that the chaos
servant covenant opens up for you skips
almost the entire area placing you right
before the bed of chaos and not having
to traverse the dreaded lava area will
save you tons of time and frustration
especially on a new game number for
getting the powerbomb early Super
Metroid Super Metroid has a lot of
sequence breaking exploits though this
one is by far the most useful with some
practice Metroid’s map style can be
abused to get the power bomb really
early what it required was only some
repeated wall jumping to climb over a
long vertical corridor followed by a
well-timed shot upward to open the door
then do the same process again to hop
through that door if you can survive the
next few rooms as well as trigger a few
trap doors to progress you’ll be treated
to your reward the power bombs
number three box wraps Metal Gear Solid
every kid that’s grown up around a
pickup truck has at one point or another
wanted to or has ridden in the back
snake had exactly that chance in Metal
Gear Solid if he was smart about it
during the game if you hop in the back
of a truck and hide in one of the boxes
snake will get dropped off at a new
location in fact with the three boxes
you get throughout the game each labeled
helipad nuke building and snow field
respectively you can get dropped off at
any of these locations don’t stare at me
like that
plus fun bit of trivia this mode of
transportation has remained even in
later games number two get to Staton
island early grand theft auto 3
open-world sandbox games like the GTA
series are perfect for players that love
to explore and just run around and it’s
the players like this that tend to find
quick and easy ways to get you to places
that you really shouldn’t be yet I know
a place on the edge of the red light
district where we can lay low but my
hands are all messed up so you better
drive brother Brant a23 actually has a
few ways for players to get to Staunton
island that coveted second island well
before they’re meant to both through
glitches as well as exploits
and in addition considering the game
also includes cheats for players to have
fun with you can easily hitch a ride on
a flying car
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions do you deny it no
but it was an accident you’re in trouble
again but this time daddy isn’t here to
save you
number one warp zone world one to Super
Mario Brothers Mario games are pretty
well known for their short cuts between
keys in various games and the flute in
Super Mario Brothers 3 finding your way
to the end of the game isn’t as hard as
it always appears however none of these
are as useful as the warp zones from the
original Super Mario Brothers with the
first warp zone in the easy to reach
world one two
getting to a later stage is actually
quite easy and then again in world for
two you can find a warp zone that will
bring you to world six seven and eight
say goodbye to all that wasted time do
you agree with our list we have a party
waiting for you are there any good
shortcuts that you know of for more
quick top tens but don’t take shortcuts
