One of the most iconic parts of Metal Gear Solid is Psycho Mantis's ability to "read your mind", or rather, "your past". He analyzes the player's performance in gameplay up to that point and judges them for it (much like the codenames obtained at the end of the game), but most notably he can also detect save data from other Konami games, and taunts the player about their gaming habits. 1

You're a careless man, aren't you? |

Save Data#
Voice Lines#
The catalog of Konami games that can be detected by Psycho Mantis in the cutscene prior to his boss battle is much greater in the Japanese version compared to the later international versions, due to Konami naturally releasing more games for their native market. As a result, many of Psycho Mantis' lines in which he makes references to games that were released only in Japan, such as Tokimeki Memorial (a dating sim that was popular at the time and had numerous spinoffs), were cut and replaced with references to localized games for the international versions. This included a special voice-only cameo from Kojima triggered by having save data from both, Snatcher and Policenauts.
Contrary to popular belief, Psycho Mantis does not have a specific line when he detects a Snatcher save file like he does with Policenauts, despite being a requirement to trigger Kojima's cameo. Mantis will simply treat it as any other Konami game and will only pay special attention to it if it's detected alongside Policenauts. This was likely due to the fact that the PlayStation version of Snatcher was developed by KCE Tokyo and not by KCE Japan.
The following are the Psycho Mantis lines and the conditions to trigger them.
