How do you get big head mode? Also, many games have big head modes. It's not really a reference to one game, but to freaking tons of games. --Hagurumon
I believe that NBA Jam was the first game to use this code that became standard. But the question of how to get it remains - I don't think we ought to have a fun fact about a mode without an explanation of how to get to it. - Tim333

49.99 km?
Can someone validate this statement by providing the combinations: "There are five different special combinations that can be put together on the 'Choose it out' screen, each of which gives you a special name rather than 'Steak Styles'. One of which allows you to start the race at 49.99 km." ? —JoeyDay (Talk) 13:16, 19 Jan 2005 (MST)
Yeah I wasn't sure if I should write all the details out or leave them to be found. I cheated by decompiling it so I guess I felt bad posting the details.
We need somebody to do confirmation before I remove it, since it's taking me way too long to puzzle out every single possible combination there could be. --TheNintenGenius 15:34, 19 Jan 2005 (MST)
.5k Glitch
I know you're supposed to walk off into blackness at 1K. But, when attempting to see this, there was a minor graphical glitch right after I crossed .5k (the message in the background was "These boots were mad|" [e for it], which then stopped abruptly as the crowd turned to white for a few pixels.) Is this normal? --Jay 12:18, 20 Jan 2005 (MST)
Yes. I found similar glitches at 1.38 K, 2.53 K, 3.40 K, 4.53 K... you get the idea. It's nothing, just a minor glitch. --Tim333
parody of Olympic Games (PS2)?
I disagree with that this is a parody of any PS2 game. The reference seems to be far older.
I believe this is meant to refer to The Activision Decathlon, where all of the running was done by moving the joystick left-right-left-right. The 1500 meter run was incredibly taxing; the 50k racewalker seems to be an extension of the concept. -- sensei256
