There was a rumor that you can find Spunky, or at least a statue of him, in a hidden room in Terry the Treasure Raider (1986). Taking the statue would then net you 100 lives.

While untrue, the devs had caught wind of these and started adding in Spunky-related secrets in later games. No 100 lives were involved tho.
