When the player faces Mantis, Mantis demonstrates his psychic powers by breaking the fourth wall. First, he activates the controller's rumble feature, then reads the player's memory card and comments on how often the player has saved the game and the player's preference on certain other games. In the original PlayStation game, he reads off the titles of other Konami-published games, while in GameCube version, he reads Nintendo-published games.[52] In the Japanese PlayStation version, he can read save data from Snatcher and Policenauts, which triggers a special message from Hideo Kojima (his only line in the game).[53] Then, at the beginning of the actual battle, Mantis causes the screen to go completely black except for the name "HIDEO" in green text in the top right corner of the screen, much like TV or VCR on-screen-displays, in an attempt to throw the player off. Furthermore, Psycho Mantis could "predict" Snake's attacks and subsequently dodge all of them until the player unplugged the controller from its current port and plugged it into another port.
