The five different entrances to the Chris Houlihan room


The Chris Houlihan room, and five different ways to get in there.

Available in the Super Nintendo version only and named after Chris Houlihan, who won a Player's Pulse contest back in the day and got a secret room named after him as a result. The telepathic message block is a message from Chris himself. (If you're wondering what the contest was, you had to find Warmech in Final Fantasy, snap a picture of it with a camera, and send the picture to Nintendo Power. Despite the fact that the room existed and can only be reached when the game made a checksum error during a room transition, it was barely found by only handfuls of people until the Internet and Super Nintendo emulation came along, when the game's code was analyzed and the room was finally discovered. Once everyone knew the many means of finding the room (there are five entrances), the room finally became a thing among gamers. (It can also be found on GBA, but you have to use a game enhancement device to check it out, as the methods from the Super Nintendo version will not work.)
