Hidden 5th Mission
1/14/16 There are only four missions playable during the course of the game, but recently, a password for mission FIVE was discovered in the game's code. The link below shows how to access it and links a video of it being played.

It is only accessible via password, as far as anyone knows. [speculation]It was probably dummied out shortly before release.[/speculation] The mission is fully playable, but no new passwords are generated so it has to be completed in one segment. In the mission, you control Ax and save the rest of the characters trapped on an Andalite ship... or something. You have to rescue your friends and defeat Visser 3 to clear the mission and see the credits. However, you can fight Visser 3 before freeing all of your friends; doing so disrupts the game's triggers and softlocks the game. [speculation]That's probably one of the bigger reasons why the mission was dummied out.[/speculation]
I would add this information myself, but I'm not entirely sure how to present it in the article proper.
- Thanks for the text, I just added it to the page in https://tcrf.net/index.php?title=Animorphs&oldid=729503. I came to the Animorphs page looking for information about the hidden mission after seeing it in the AGDQ2020 run by Keizaron. Mouser (talk) 22:14, 18 January 2020 (EST)
SHITSACK is a song name
UPDATE: The article has been updated with this info.
...according to DevEd_ on #tcrf.
DevEd_: so you know how Animorphs on GBC has "SHITSACK" in the rom? DevEd_: I just discovered that it's literally the name of one of the songs DevEd_: as is FAGGAGS DevEd_: also i found the program that was used to make the game's soundtrack DevEd_: http://jeremyevers.com/fatass/ DevEd_: also includes source code
Regarding the todo "Verify if the first song in the GBS file is used anywhere in the game."
The first song in the GBS file (I presume the one from Zophar's Domain is being referenced here) is used in Mission 5 when the game is finished, it plays over the last text box congratulating the player and the credits. You can hear it over the AGDQ speedrun and a bit clearer in this playthrough. Bugsbunny100 (talk) 09:11, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
