Absolutely fantastic video, I loved turning on Big Head Mode in NBA Jam. I'm always pumped for new Codex and this didn't disappoint. Keep up the great work!!
Sega branched off the idea with Virtua Fighter Kids, and made a "kids mode" a staple in a lot of their games, before removing it as being able to shoot kids in Virtua Cop might not look so good for them.
I would be SO HAPPY to see you do an entire video on "NBA Jam". Not only is it a brilliant game that still holds up today, but there were so many great cheats.
I would like to note that in Saints Row, that's not a big head cheat, it's a mascot mask you can buy and wear. However at least in SR2, there was a Giant cheat that just scaled up the entire model, not just the head.
Great as always. You went to nba jam and i remember the psx version had a gigantic mode where the screen would be filled if all four players are onscreen at the same time. I remember someone saying something about this be a joke since in normal mode the players already seem to have big heads and in hangtime it makes the players have the right size for their bodies
dude your videos are just amazing; do...whatever you want! i'll keep watching every codex videos! p.s. i played long time ago with big head mode on konami's pro evolution soccer, what a great game!
Hi Kyle. I really like what you are doing. Thanks! I don't know if there are any cheat codes for Final Fantasy 7 but that is a great game and would love a video on that one. I remember spending hours on that game.
there's one series in particular that I grew up with where big head mode was a staple: the ratchet and clank series. it was probably the first thing I thought of when I clicked on this video, tbh
great video and production quality once again! Have you thought about covering the cheats of Turok: Dinosaur Hunter and Turok 2? Some of the best ever "Beware Oblivion is at Hand"...
Just so we have at least one mention of it: The BigHead crew of developers found in a secret room in the first level of Serious Sam 1/The first encounter!
It was! I believe it started in UT2003. I thought about adding more shooters to the list, but ultimately felt I had covered that territory with Goldeneye. Thanks for commenting!
Awesome vid! Honestly, shame theres nothing regarding the Mother series that fits with the channels whole concept of cheat code origins... Or is there? Idk. Sounds like something to look into, and if theres nada, well, your search will likely end quickly so it wont be much time wasted
I thought about explaining big head mods for games like GTA and Minecraft, but felt I should leave it to just the cheats. I'll consider it for a future episode!
As amazing as it was to have little cheats like this back in the day, I always hated big head mode. I actually hate it MORE now because it has practically become its own cariacaturesque art style. It's just obnoxious. Every time I see big head mode, I think of the annoying kid who used to flick his bogeys across the class room.

You're a real kind feller! Thanks for commenting buddy :)

Larry Bundy Jr you have a good channel
Oh damn, good to know! Definitely should have included this - thanks!
The intel you spread is priceless. You always have the big story behind things I personally did not even remember but grew up with.
Criminally underrated video. This was fascinating.
This is... BIG
Top notch video Kyle, I think you're going places with this channel. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Paul, miss you dude! I should be in town in a few weeks, I'll give you a buzz.
Such a great channel. You deserve more subs!
Fantastic video! Awesome that you did some deep digging and reached out to industry professionals to get the whole story/timeline!
Thank you! It's sadly not quite as fleshed out as I would like, but chalk that up to devs being very busy :)
I would be SO HAPPY to see you do an entire video on "NBA Jam". Not only is it a brilliant game that still holds up today, but there were so many great cheats.
You may be pleasantly surprised sooner than you think! :)

Thanks Pedro! Hahah I thought about putting mammoth head mode in, but felt it might belabor the point.
love the videos, the production is fantastic
You deserve a lot more subscribers, awesome video, keep it up!
Keep up the good work man. It's amazing how much this channel has grown since video #1. 💪
Thank you for following the channel! I'm glad you've enjoyed everything so far :)
I am! I found your first video by accident, and I've been hooked since. I can tell you put a lot of work into these.
Another great trip down memory lane! Keep up the good work and congratulations for 20.000 subscribers, you deserve it.
Thank you Rico, and thanks again for all your support! It's very much appreciated :)
Big Head Mode... Damn, that brings some memories!
Good going bro. Brings back old memories.
Thanks Wilfred! Researching THPS2 and Goldeneye got me right in the feelins
Love to see how your channel is growing and all the new videos, just make sure you don't get a big head about it (that's the best I've got)
lmao ayyyy my dude
Great video. Thanks! I loved BigHeadMode in NBAJam as a kiddo.
Thanks CODEX for keep proving new games.
Loving your channel, bro ! Keep up the great work!
Love your videos, been following since day one. keep it man!!!
dude your videos are just amazing; do...whatever you want! i'll keep watching every codex videos!
p.s. i played long time ago with big head mode on konami's pro evolution soccer, what a great game!
That's really kind of you to say! I've definitely got some plans for future videos, but I think people will be excited for what comes next :)
I had completely forgotten about Big Head Mode!
Thanks for the memories.
Any time! Thank you for watching!
Great work! Really loving this channel
Just stumbled upon your channel and subbed after this video. keep up the great work!

The Unreal Tournament and Championship games had a 'mutator' which gave you a bigger head for more kills and smaller for less kills.
great video and production quality once again! Have you thought about covering the cheats of Turok: Dinosaur Hunter and Turok 2? Some of the best ever
"Beware Oblivion is at Hand"...
Imagine if Big Head Mode added into competitive FPS.
Every shots a head shot.
I'm gonna give you a sub because I know you can do great things and I want to see you grow. Don't let me down, pal
Awsome :D Really Cool that you got to ask Original THPSs dev&got answer :D
Yeah! I was pleasantly surprised by the response :) the peek at the source code was pretty swell!
@@CodexShow Yes :D :D
Big head mode scared tf out of me as a kid.
great video and great subjects.. you are very unique !
Thank you Roberto! :)
Just so we have at least one mention of it: The BigHead crew of developers found in a secret room in the first level of Serious Sam 1/The first encounter!
Great video!
This is the first and only time I've ever heard the phrase "DK Mode"
Another great video :D
keep doing the good work. btw did you ever see the fanzine Scroll by ray barnholt? he had a whole issue about cheat codes
Thanks Ryan! And I'm just looking it up now - really good stuff! I'll have to dig deeper, thanks for the recommendation!
Nice video, It reminds me of the "Fatboy" mutator in Unreal Tournament 99.
Pretty good job
it was a powerup in carmageddon
DAMN, you're right! I loved the original, didn't realize Carmageddon 2 had a big head mode! Thanks for pointing this out :)
Can't forget about Army of Two!
I’ll always remember it in Turok on N64
great video!!!
That's a nice cheat, I wish every 3D game had it...
Quality content good sir.
it was kinda a big feature in the unreal tournament's mutations
It was! I believe it started in UT2003. I thought about adding more shooters to the list, but ultimately felt I had covered that territory with Goldeneye. Thanks for commenting!
Codex UT and Carma? Good taste in games mate
i remember the big head mod in jak 3
Awesome vid😀
Where can I see more videos with that Husky puppy?

Enjoy! :)
This is a happy comment.
No but seriously, good video!
Ayyy lmao, thanks my dude :)
I use to play ratchet and clank only on big head mode
Your voice is soothing
Guess I'm doing ASMR now
@@CodexShow you should

Thank you Ashlynn! I don't think there are any cheats in that series necessarily - possibly some Game Genie stuff though!
@@CodexShow Game Genie should get its own video, I'd love a deeper dive into my childhood cheats :)
90s was some big head ilove big head 💖
is this the right CODEX?
What's the name of that wrestling game?
just thought was something werid that happened trying to tune a radio frequency in Batman Arkam City.

Fucking love codex!
Fucking love you, dude!
Make a video about San Andreas' cheats.
It's on the list!
U forgot abt the early mlb 2k games
Ay yo shouts out to Jebailey!

Modding?
I thought about explaining big head mods for games like GTA and Minecraft, but felt I should leave it to just the cheats. I'll consider it for a future episode!
if you think big head mode is genuinely funny you ate glue as a kid
I don't think Mortal Kombat was the first game to have big head mode. For one Ghostbusters on Sega Genesis came out before Mortal Kombat.
1:08 A-Akira?
figured it'd be some sort of dev bug they thought was funny...

Ooooh.... BOOM SHAKALAKA
Yeah sure it must be kids schema when i like to blew of big zombie heads in dead trigger 1 or 2... They are soooo cute.. Splash
Big if true
Ah ja ja

Where is Batman : Arkham City ?
Chibi
Easier headshots.
1:08 Not kawaii uguu~.
Bro did you steal a scene group name, lol wtf.
Goldeneye 64 anyone?
Can people respond to this Comment with examples of modern games that have this? (possible spoilers below if you consider that a spoiler)
Great video!
