A common bonus feature or Easter Egg in later installments in a Video Game franchise is to hide a copy of an earlier game from the series in the current game. This is usually (but not always) a hard-to-find special bonus, often an Old Save Bonus or New Game Plus. Additional rewards may be offered for beating the embedded game. For technical reasons, this tends to be limited to games which have a very primitive previous incarnation. Subtrope of Game Within a Game and as such has to be recreated/emulated by the game itself, it's not the original game bundled with the new one or downloadable for free. See also Nostalgia Level and Compilation Re-release. Has nothing to do with Precursors. |

Kirby Super Star: The first game that you're allowed to play, Spring Breeze, is actually a condensed remake of the first game in the Kirby series, Kirby's Dream Land. Emphasis on "condensed"; it most notably lacks Castle Lololo and Kaboola. Kirby Super Star Ultra not only has Spring Breeze, but also Revenge of the King; the latter is a remake of Dream Land's Extra Game (essentially Hard mode), and unlike Spring Breeze, it does include Kaboola. |

Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+ includes a remade midquel given almost equal billing to the game itself, Re: Chain of Memories, which takes the GBA sprite game and turns it into a full-fledged 3D PS2 game. However, that is a standalone release in America (and thus merely a remake), with Final Mix+ itself taking its sweet time coming overseas in the form of Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 (containing a console port of Birth by Sleep due to the remake of the first game having Re: Chain of Memories). | |

The mid-2000s anime The Tower of Druaga based on the 1984 NES Video Game The Tower of Druaga has an episode where the party, while climbing the titular tower, arrive on a floor which contains the original tower from the 1984 Video Game. When the main character enters it the other characters are able to use a nearby control console together with a Guide Dang It! obtained from a nearby shop to 'body control' him through the very trials from the video game, even inserting coins into the console and respawning him on level 1 of the tower each time he died, just like the very Guide Dang It! game. | |

All the games beginning with Mario Kart DS began to feature 32 tracks. These tracks were divided into four "Nitro" Cups (containing all-new tracks), and four "Retro" cups (containing old tracks from previous Mario Karts). All such games, except for the Wii U version of Mario Kart 8, have also revisited past games' retro battle stages in addition to introducing new ones. While there are 16 retro tracks per edition, how many are from each previous edition differs: As the fifth installment in the series, DS has four tracks each from Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, and Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. In addition, there are 2 retro battle stages to complement the 4 new ones. Mario Kart Wii brings back two courses each from Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart: Super Circuit, and four each from Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and Mario Kart DS. Many of the courses are modified to make use of the new Trick ability. In Battle Mode, there are 5 retro battle stages (one from each previous game) in addition to 5 new ones. The retro cups in Mario Kart 7 bring one course from Mario Kart: Super Circuit, two courses each from Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, three from Mario Kart 64, and four each from Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart Wii. Almost all of the retro courses have been modified in some way to incorporate the new underwater driving and/or hang gliding mechanics. In Battle Mode, there are 3 retro battle stages (two of which respectively take advantage of the game's added gliding and diving gameplay) and 3 new ones. In the base game, Mario Kart 8 has 16 retro tracks: one track each from Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart: Super Circuit, two each from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Mario Kart Wii, three each from Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart 7, and four from Mario Kart 64,. As with the retro tracks from 7, those in this game feature altered sections that incorporate the game's hang-glider, underwater, and anti-gravity features. The DLC packages add an additional seven retro tracks (one track each from Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart Wii, and Mario Kart 7, and two each from Mario Kart: Super Circuit and Mario Kart: Double Dash!!) and nine new ones, all of which are included by default in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (which in turn revamped Battle Mode to bring back 3 battle stages while also introducing 5 all-new ones). The Booster Course Pass DLC adds an additional 48 courses, which include two tracks each from Super and 64, three from Double Dash, four each from DS and 7, five from Super Circuit, eight from Wii, 17 from Mario Kart Tour, and 3 all new tracksnote Courses Ninja Hideaway, Merry Mountain, and Piranha Plant Cove all debuted in Tour prior to launching in the Booster Course Pass despite lacking the label for Tour. Mario Kart Tour brings back a very large amount of retro tracks (too many to count here), as well as three battle stages alongside two new ones. |

Metal Gear: The second disc of Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence includes updated versions of the original Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, which were originally released for the MSX2 and never released outside Japan in their original form before then (only the first game had an infamous NES port). Both games are included in the HD Edition of MGS3 released for the PS3, Xbox 360 and Vita, where they're selectable via the main menu. The Metal Gear Solid 2: Digital Graphic Novel DVD in Japan includes a fully voiced version of the original Digital Graphic Novel that was released for the PSP. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots has a scene where Old Snake is sleeping while on the way to revisiting Shadow Moses Island, and in his dream you can play a perfect emulation of the opening Heliport from the first Metal Gear Solid. |

The main menus for Pac-Man World and Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness have a "Classic" option, which allows you to play a version of the original Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man, respectively. Pac-Man World Re-Pac also features the original arcade game, though this time it has to be unlocked first by clearing the main game. | |

Mario Kart: Mario Kart: Super Circuit has all the courses from the original as an unlockable, albeit rearranged from the original's four cups of five into five cups of four. All the games beginning with Mario Kart DS began to feature 32 tracks. These tracks were divided into four "Nitro" Cups (containing all-new tracks), and four "Retro" cups (containing old tracks from previous Mario Karts). All such games, except for the Wii U version of Mario Kart 8, have also revisited past games' retro battle stages in addition to introducing new ones. While there are 16 retro tracks per edition, how many are from each previous edition differs: As the fifth installment in the series, DS has four tracks each from Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, and Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. In addition, there are 2 retro battle stages to complement the 4 new ones. Mario Kart Wii brings back two courses each from Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart: Super Circuit, and four each from Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and Mario Kart DS. Many of the courses are modified to make use of the new Trick ability. In Battle Mode, there are 5 retro battle stages (one from each previous game) in addition to 5 new ones. The retro cups in Mario Kart 7 bring one course from Mario Kart: Super Circuit, two courses each from Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, three from Mario Kart 64, and four each from Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart Wii. Almost all of the retro courses have been modified in some way to incorporate the new underwater driving and/or hang gliding mechanics. In Battle Mode, there are 3 retro battle stages (two of which respectively take advantage of the game's added gliding and diving gameplay) and 3 new ones. In the base game, Mario Kart 8 has 16 retro tracks: one track each from Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart: Super Circuit, two each from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Mario Kart Wii, three each from Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart 7, and four from Mario Kart 64,. As with the retro tracks from 7, those in this game feature altered sections that incorporate the game's hang-glider, underwater, and anti-gravity features. The DLC packages add an additional seven retro tracks (one track each from Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart Wii, and Mario Kart 7, and two each from Mario Kart: Super Circuit and Mario Kart: Double Dash!!) and nine new ones, all of which are included by default in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (which in turn revamped Battle Mode to bring back 3 battle stages while also introducing 5 all-new ones). The Booster Course Pass DLC adds an additional 48 courses, which include two tracks each from Super and 64, three from Double Dash, four each from DS and 7, five from Super Circuit, eight from Wii, 17 from Mario Kart Tour, and 3 all new tracksnote Courses Ninja Hideaway, Merry Mountain, and Piranha Plant Cove all debuted in Tour prior to launching in the Booster Course Pass despite lacking the label for Tour. Mario Kart Tour brings back a very large amount of retro tracks (too many to count here), as well as three battle stages alongside two new ones. |

In Super Mario Bros. 3, players collect cards at the end of most levels. In a two-player game, if one player is on the same square in the map as the other player, either player can press a button to enter a fight. This fight is played as a round of a slightly modified version of the original Mario Bros.. The player can steal cards from the other player to earn 1-UPs, and the winner gets to go to the next level. Super Mario All-Stars also includes said battle mode as a separate mode on the title screen of SMB3. | |

All nine of the levels from PAYDAY: The Heist have been remade for PAYDAY 2, with additions and changes to accommodate the gameplay mechanics of Payday 2. Seven were added in free updates for all players, those being First World Bank, Slaughterhouse, Panic Room, Heat Street, Green Bridge, Diamond Heist, and No Mercy, while Undercover and Counterfeit, mirroring how they were released for the first game, were included with a new version of the "Wolf Pack" DLC for Payday 2. Of all these heists, only First World Bank and Diamond Heist can be played fully in stealth (the latter allowing you to complete the entire heist in stealth, whereas the original game required you to go loud eventually), while the Wolf Pack heists can only be done in stealth up to a point. Some of these heists, most notably Heat Street, have also been recontextualized to better fit PAYDAY 2's story—except for No Mercy, which plays exactly as it did in the first game (minus enemy spawns). This also has a lore justification, as the virus that is killing Bain is similar to the one the Gang obtained from Mercy Hospital, and what you're actually playing is a flashback to that event. | |

The two-disc DVD of the 1960 version of The Lost World includes the 1925 version which the later film is a remake of as a bonus feature. Ironically, the release is generally more sought-after because it has the 1925 film in fairly good quality and not because of the 1960 film, which is advertised as though it's the main attraction. | |

This is fairly common in the Doom series: Doom³ Collector's Edition for the Xbox included PC-perfect ports of Ultimate Doom and Doom II, complete with four-player split-screen multiplayer. All copies of its standalone Expansion Pack Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil also include the first two games, plus the Master Levels of Doom 2. There is also Doom 3 BFG Edition, which includes the first two Doom games. The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions play much the same as their downloaded counterparts, while the PC version uses the original wad files, plays like how it did when it was initially released (sadly with no multiplayer support), and also includes the campaign "No Rest for the Living". Thankfully, you can still extract the wad files and use it in various source ports to make up for the lack of multiplayer, and more. Later on, the Steam release bundled the BFG Edition with the original Doom 3, requiring users to buy the former to get the latter but in turn automatically upgrading anyone who had either version to owning both. Doom Eternal contains an in-game PC with fully-playable (if slightly dodgy) versions of both Doom and Doom II, meaning that, yes; now even DOOM can run DOOM. Both have to be unlocked - Doom is unlocked by collecting all 14 floppy disks, and Doom II is unlocked by entering the passcode FLYNNTAGGART. Pre-orders of the game also came bundled with a port of Doom 64. |

A subversion of this trope: Mass Effect 2 for the PS3 was released before the Mass Effect Trilogy, and as such, there was no PS3 port of Mass Effect 1 at the time. To make up for this, BioWare included an interactive comic book that summarizes the events of the first game and allows the player to make decisions on important events to determine how some set pieces are arranged. | |

Every Super Mario Advance game, as well as Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, also included a remake of Mario Bros.. And you can link two GBA for multiplayer too, even if you're not using the same game that has it! note i.e. You can use a copy of Super Mario Advance 3 and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga to play a multiplayer round of Mario Bros. Super Mario 3D World features a slightly tweaked version of the original arcade game called Luigi Bros. (meant to cap off a marketing campaign known as The Year of Luigi). It's unlocked by beating the game or having a New Super Luigi U save game on your Wii U. note For the Switch version, the game can only unlocked by beating the game; having a New Super Luigi U save file through New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe does not unlock it. WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$: Unlike all the standard microgames based on classic Nintendo games (which only replicate very small portions of their games of origin), three of the special minigames unlockable by scoring high enough in Jimmy T.'s chapters are full-fledged adaptations of games: Dr. Mario, Sheriff, and the Fly Swatter minigame from Mario Paint. The main difference in the former two is that they're starred by Wario instead of Mario and the nameless Sheriff respectively. |

Donkey Kong: Donkey Kong '94 starts with all four levels from the original Donkey Kong arcade game. Stage 9-4 is a remake of the final stage from Donkey Kong Junior, while Stage 9-5 is an updated version of the very first stage balanced out for the game's new play mechanics. Donkey Kong 64 features working arcade machines on which the player can play the original Donkey Kong and Jetpac (Rare's first game back when they were named "Ultimate Play the Game") to win a reward token. These tokens are actually necessary to access the final boss. One of the racetracks from Diddy Kong Racing (Greenwood Village) can be unlocked for multiplayer mode in Jet Force Gemini after completing both tracks (broken time records included) from Jeff and Barry Racing (itself, funnily enough, a Game Within a Game). |

Donkey Kong '94 starts with all four levels from the original Donkey Kong arcade game. Stage 9-4 is a remake of the final stage from Donkey Kong Junior, while Stage 9-5 is an updated version of the very first stage balanced out for the game's new play mechanics. | |

Hitman: Hitman 2 has two DLC "Legacy packs" that add missions, challenge packs, Elusive Targets, and certain escalations from Hitman (2016) into the game (The first DLC being the Base game and Bonus Episodes, and the second DLC adds upon this with also including the Patient Zero campaign and other things part of the Game of The Year Edition), all of which have been updated to include the new features found in Hitman 2 (such as Stealth Grass and mirrors working like mirrors). Owners of Hitman (2016) can get either of the DLC's for free, depending on purchase history. It's also notable because this Embedded Precursor will effectively double the entire game's filesize (from about 70GB to 155GB!). Hitman 3 includes all of 2016 (including all the GOTY Content), and all but the Gold Edition content (two levels, sniper assassin, special assignments) from Hitman 2. And, in an inversion of Hitman 2, the total file size of the game has shrunken down to about 67GB, almost 1/3rd of the total Hitman 2 size and only nominally bigger than 2016 was. |

The fangame Sonic Robo Blast 2 included all the levels of the original Sonic Robo Blast running on the SRB2 engine (including all the 2½D that comes with it) as an unlockable bonus in versions 2.0 and 2.1 (beforehand available as a standalone pack for 1.09.4).

The series tends to feature stages from previous entries in each new game, with Super Smash Bros. Melee featuring three stages from the original N64 game, Super Smash Bros. Brawl featuring ten stages from Melee, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS featuring three stages from Melee and five stages from Brawl (along with three stages from the original game as DLC), and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U featuring 14 stages from Brawl (13 already included and one as DLC), 3 stages from Melee, and four stages from the original game (one already included and three as DLC). Brought to its logical extension in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which features almost every stage that has ever been in the series (the only ones missing are two stages from the original game, four stages from Melee, two stages from Brawl, two stages from the 3DS game, four stages from the Wii U base game, and one stage from the DLC). | |

Ridge Racer Type 4 came with a bonus disc that includes both the original Ridge Racer and a stripped-down version of Ridge Racer enhanced to run at 60fps. (As opposed to both the original version of the game and Type 4 itself, which both run at 30fps.) According to an "Information" option on the main menu, the devs aimed to get Type 4 running at 60fps but deemed the compromises necessary to be too much. Not wanting the effort needed to get it working to go to waste, they bundled in the demo they were testing with as a bonus. | |

Tekken 5 included fully-playable Arcade versions of the first three Tekken games. You can also unlock the full version of Namco's old space shooter Starblade by finding the spaceship from that game in one of the stages of Devil Within. Usually you get to play the first part of the game when Tekken 5 itself is starting up. |

DanceDanceRevolution: The arcade version of 3rdMIX has a hidden "2ndMIX" mode that allows you to play songs from the first two games, with the exception of "Strictly Business". And much thankfully, with 3rdMIX's difficulty selection method so you don't have to enter a code for Another or Maniac difficulties. 2ndMIX gets revisited as a separate mode again in X3 vs. 2ndMIX, this time as an HD remaster. It isn't a perfect recreation, though; some of the features from the original are missing, "Strictly Business" is absent once again, it uses the X cut of "Hero" instead of the original one, and two new boss songs are added. |

Sonic the Hedgehog: Sonic Adventure DX for the Nintendo GameCube and PC has every single Sonic Game Gear game released, from the original 8-bit Sonic the Hedgehog (acquired by collecting 20 Emblems) to Sonic Blast and Tails Adventure (acquired by getting all Emblems and completing Mission Mode). Because of this comprehensiveness, this marks the first time Sega officially distributed Sonic Drift and Tails Skypatrol outside of Japan. Sonic Generations includes a port of the original 16-bit Sonic the Hedgehog as a bonus, but only in the console version (since the game is already available separately on Steam and Nintendo 3DS). Sonic the Hedgehog Megamix is a Game Mod of Sonic 1 that not only remixes all of its zones, but also has their original versions kept intact with the bonus of being about to go through them using the hack's new characters, controls, and physics. |

Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness allows the player to unlock remixed versions of Reinhart's and Carrie's quest from the previous Castlevania game for the Nintendo 64, complete with cut-scenes and everything, but only after completing the main quest with Cornell. However, since Cornell's portion is technically a Mission-Pack Sequel to the first N64 Castlevania, Legacy of Darkness as a whole is really more of an Updated Re-release of the first game than a sequel. | |

The Dracula X Chronicles, the PSP remake of Rondo of Blood, contains both Symphony of the Night and the original Rondo of Blood. The former has revised dialogue, rerecorded voice acting and an additional playable character, and the latter is fully translated to the west. Coincidentally, the later Compilation Re-release, Castlevania Requiem, also contains the original Rondo of Blood and the updated Symphony of the Night, but not the remake of Rondo. | |

EZ2DJ 6th Trax has a mode called "Remember 1st?", which literally closes the game and launches an executable for 1st Tracks that is also on the game's hard drive (to the point you can even see the empty Windows 98 desktop for a moment in between). | |

Pac-Man: Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures for the SNES has an arcade where you can play the original Pac-Man. If the player collects all three pieces of a Game Pack, they can also unlock Ms. Pac-Man. The Genesis version had an original game, Pac-Jr. (not to be confused with Midway's Jr. Pac-Man arcade game), in lieu of Ms. Pac-Man (since Ms. Pac-Man already had a standalone release for the Genesis). The main menus for Pac-Man World and Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness have a "Classic" option, which allows you to play a version of the original Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man, respectively. Pac-Man World Re-Pac also features the original arcade game, though this time it has to be unlocked first by clearing the main game. In Pac-Man World 2, if Pac-Man collects enough arcade tokens throughout the game, the player can unlock various classic Pac-Man games. 10 tokens unlocks Pac-Man, 30 unlocks Pac-Attack, 100 unlocks Pac-Mania, and 180 unlocks Ms. Pac-Man. In the Nintendo DS version of Pac 'n Roll, Stage 7-1 is actually the original Pac-Man arcade game as a playable minigame. Pac-Man Party includes the original Pac-Man as a playable game in the menu, though Galaga and Dig Dug are thrown in as well, both games receiving minor nods within the main game. |

Quake 4 Special Edition for PC included a second disc that includes Quake II and all its expansions. Xbox 360 owners have a similar deal: A faithful 360 port of Quake II, playing exactly like its PC counterpart, with the added bonus of four-player split-screen, plus up to 16 players via a local area network. The only downsides are no expansions are included, no auto-aim, and no online play. | |

Doom Eternal contains an in-game PC with fully-playable (if slightly dodgy) versions of both Doom and Doom II, meaning that, yes; now even DOOM can run DOOM. Both have to be unlocked - Doom is unlocked by collecting all 14 floppy disks, and Doom II is unlocked by entering the passcode FLYNNTAGGART. Pre-orders of the game also came bundled with a port of Doom 64. | |

WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$: Unlike all the standard microgames based on classic Nintendo games (which only replicate very small portions of their games of origin), three of the special minigames unlockable by scoring high enough in Jimmy T.'s chapters are full-fledged adaptations of games: Dr. Mario, Sheriff, and the Fly Swatter minigame from Mario Paint. The main difference in the former two is that they're starred by Wario instead of Mario and the nameless Sheriff respectively. | |

Parodied with Duke Nukem 3D. The first level has an arcade cabinet that runs Duke Nukem II. Interacting with it simply has Duke say "Hmmm, don't have time to play with myself." This is played straight for the DOS versions released at retail. When installing the game, you have the option to install demos to other DOS games, as well as all episodes to Duke Nukem, and Duke Nukem II. It does get parodied again with Duke Nukem Forever, where the first level is a recreation of the final stage of Duke Nukem 3D | |

Hitman 2 has two DLC "Legacy packs" that add missions, challenge packs, Elusive Targets, and certain escalations from Hitman (2016) into the game (The first DLC being the Base game and Bonus Episodes, and the second DLC adds upon this with also including the Patient Zero campaign and other things part of the Game of The Year Edition), all of which have been updated to include the new features found in Hitman 2 (such as Stealth Grass and mirrors working like mirrors). Owners of Hitman (2016) can get either of the DLC's for free, depending on purchase history. It's also notable because this Embedded Precursor will effectively double the entire game's filesize (from about 70GB to 155GB!). | |

Hitman 3 includes all of 2016 (including all the GOTY Content), and all but the Gold Edition content (two levels, sniper assassin, special assignments) from Hitman 2. And, in an inversion of Hitman 2, the total file size of the game has shrunken down to about 67GB, almost 1/3rd of the total Hitman 2 size and only nominally bigger than 2016 was. | |

Wolfenstein: The PC version Return to Castle Wolfenstein contains Wolfenstein 3-D on the disc as a separate game. It is an unlockable in the Xbox version. In the levels taking place at Kresiau Circle HQ, if you sleep on the matress upstairs your can play the first level of Wolf3D in Wolfenstein: The New Order. Wolfenstein: The Old Blood expands on the trend started in The New Order, with a mattress somewhere in each level accessing a corresponding level of the first episode of Wolfenstein 3-D, up to and including the first episode's end boss fight against Hans Grosse. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus features the entirety of Wolfenstein 3D as an arcade game called "Wolfstone 3D". In a twist, it stars a Nazi hero with the bosses replaced by pixelized caricature of the heroes. The Nazi imagery was replaced by the Resistance imagery as well. |

Super Smash Bros.: The series tends to feature stages from previous entries in each new game, with Super Smash Bros. Melee featuring three stages from the original N64 game, Super Smash Bros. Brawl featuring ten stages from Melee, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS featuring three stages from Melee and five stages from Brawl (along with three stages from the original game as DLC), and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U featuring 14 stages from Brawl (13 already included and one as DLC), 3 stages from Melee, and four stages from the original game (one already included and three as DLC). Brought to its logical extension in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which features almost every stage that has ever been in the series (the only ones missing are two stages from the original game, four stages from Melee, two stages from Brawl, two stages from the 3DS game, four stages from the Wii U base game, and one stage from the DLC). Brawl and Wii U also feature the ability to unlock several games from the various video game franchises represented. These are all timed demos, though, due to the existence of the Virtual Console, though frustratingly, not all demos were on the VC. With a little bit of modding, it is possible to play these games not as timed demos, but as full games. |
