Every single waterfall I find I must check behind it, forever.

I still get irrationally upset when there isn't. But, if a game gives me a waterfall find (or 2, or 3 like Avowed) it will rocket to the top of my list.
Lived in a place that had a koi pond and waterfall fountain years ago. I placed a small adventurer and treasure chest behind it. Wonder if it's still there.
I really love that you did that. I hope some kid (or an adult that’s a kid at heart) found it! Imagine how stoked they were!

TIL CAD is still going and it looks different.
But can you truly see it when the quality is so bad it's blurry af?
Original:
Developer: here's a fun little thing people will be excited to find!
Player: I will never trust anyone again
I love it, when Devs anticipate that players might break their levels and reward them for it.
E.g. when I played Supraland, I had it happen several times, that I managed to get to places that were obviously not intended to be reachable - you know the drill: Low poly terrain, low res textures, holes in the terrain, invisible walls everywhere,... You keep exploring that wasteland, carefully managing to not fall of, go around a corner and... There's a chest there waiting for you.
Or some of the coin stacks in Super Mario Odyssey, that you'll never really see or collect, until you do some crazy trick jumps or so to get on top of $building.
Super Mario Odyssey is such an amazing game. If the sequel is anywhere near as good, I might get a Switch 2 just for that.
IIRC the team behind SMO is the team that made Donkey Kong Bananza. So... Either another team is responsible for a new 3D Mario, or it will take quite a while before we get another 3D Mario. So far, there's no announcement for a new 3D Mario (yet).
But Donkey Kong Bananza looks dope. Also I like that Ceave Gaming video where he overanalyzes the Donkey Kong trailer and goes over all the bits that have been revealed so far https://youtu.be/xc_YjHqqTm0

Doom ]['s chainsaw.
That level was the Entryway, and the chainsaw is next to an outside area that Doomguy presumably came in from. That means he had to have walked right past the chainsaw on the way in.
How did he even make it to doom ii with such poor observational skills?
Also in this list: checking under stairs and behind waterfalls
And hitting every bit of wall that looks suspiciously flat and empty. I'm looking at you, Miyazaki.
In Sega Genesis/Mega Drive Aladdin in several levels in the beginning you have go forward a bit and then return back to the start to find the secret. Needles to say, it also messed me up for life.

Credit to Tim Buckley for briefly becoming one of the most widely mocked people on the internet and spawning a meme that lives on to this day but just rolling with it and continuing with his dream of making webcomics.

Err... wait...
Iirc correctly there was something about somewhat scamming his patreons or so. Ny memory is hazy but something about a drawing tablet?

I always try to figure out which direction the game wants me to go so I can try going the opposite way first.
I mean, we can't risk advancing the game and leaving unexplored areas behind

The most damning game for me was Dragon Ball Z: Super Saiya Densetsu on SNES.
It was an rpg. A good like 10 hours into the game you're wondering around on Planet Namek and the only way to progress in the story is to find Dende. Well you get pretty much no info or hints about where he is. Well all the houses and huts all have decorative pots in them, kind of like the kind you could smash in Zelda games. In DBZ, at no point was anything in any of these pots, and you couldn't break them, or even get acknowledgement that pressing a button near one of these pots even "checks" the pot. All the pots seem to just be decor you can't interact with.
Of course, that's where Dende was. The only thing in any pot in the entire game was a kid that you were required to find in order to continue progressing, found half way into the game after you've decided already that the game won't let you interact or check pots, and then making you check all the rest of the pots for the rest of the game because "they hid one thing in a pot, surely there could be another".

As a Wolfenstein 3D player that checks every square centimeter of every wall for secret passages, I feel this pain.

And then the movie adaptation of Ready Player One acted like placing something before the starting line is some kind of super-sneaky hiding method.

For me it's waterfalls - have to check behind every single one for a hidden cave.
This has proven to be problematic in real life, like when I visited Niagara...
