        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?”
