    Hold down the "Z" button just before the Gamecube logo appears on screen. Z is the blue button on the back side of your controller where your right index finger goes. If done correctly you will hear an alternate squeaking monkey and laughing sounds on the Gamecube logo screen.

    Yes! Yes, it does. Unfortunately, to get the ninja drumming sounds, you need 4 controllers or get a glitch or corruption.
  • Question
    I only have one controller, so how do I get those ninja drumming sounds with that?
