The [[Gallery Corner]] is where most special features are unlocked. These include a [[Music Room|sound test]], a Game & Watch timeline, the credits, and nine games (listed below). However, the games must, in essence, be unlocked twice—the first time a game is unlocked, the player is treated to a short write-up on the game and a video of the game in action. Later on, the player can unlock playable versions. After 160 stars have been collected, [[Link]] becomes playable in the final unlockable game, ''Zelda''. | The [[Gallery Corner]] is where most special features are unlocked.

For those who are, the experience will be considerably more limited. The modern modes with updated graphics and sounds are very good, but, ultimately, they are not what’s carrying this game. What’s carrying this game is that you get 20 slices of pure, classic Nintendo gameplay.''" | ||
