The highly era-specific experience of renting a game with an on-cartridge save battery and getting to play the files of people who made it way further than you can
I remember renting a Super Metroid cartridge with a save past the point of no return at Tourian (which was a bit disappointing because I wanted to explore the map with my ridiculously powerful full loadout).
I went into the Mother Brain room and wondered "Why is there a cacodemon from Doom in a jar?"
Found my friend's save file on a Jet Force Gemini cartridge like this once
I remember buying a used copy of Metroid zero mission that had the entire gallery unlocked
