I love watching them. Ever since I started messing with GG codes in the early 2000s I've always loved pumping in random codes to see what crazy effects would happen. One of the best, which I unfortunately didn't document, was in Ninja Gaiden 2. It made the background in the first stage scroll like the parallax stage 2 background, so it was just chunks of the level scrolling at different speeds.
The original "Luigi moon jump" code worked like the hover code, however there were a couple of steps involved physically to get it to work. Basically, it was like this: - Use Luigi to do high jump charge after implementing code - Let go of Jump button to allow Luigi to fall (make sure jump is performed on elevated platform for full effect), then hold jump button before landing. - While holding jump (preference only), run in either direction off the edge of platform and don't stop. Instant airwalk!! **Side note** For extra fun, you can make Luigi into a UFO by doing the "jumping duck and slide" from the original Super Mario Bros. Basically, if you duck before running off the edge, Luigi's crouched form looks like a little "green Luigi saucer". I lost my book years ago, but I'm sure the code is online somewhere.
These videos always bring me back to the days of homebrewing Game Genie codes for games and seeing what I can come up with. Sadly I didn't have SMB2 to play with.
I am going to give that challenge a try. SMB2 is one of my most played games from the past and I cannot wait to see how it obscures certain places. Awesome video good Sir! Thank you!
Thank you for reminding me of how of much I love Super Mario Bros. 2 and of hours of messing around with Game Genie when I was a kid (which included pronouncing the codes phonetically as you do here!). This video made an instant subscriber out of me.
I came across your channel a few months ago and have been binge watching your videos. I think my favorite part of every video is how you attempt to pronounce the game genie codes like they were actual words. Keep up the good work.
hell yeah sweet video gruz! I happened to discover a code for Mario 1 while I was just punching in random stuff. OPENZZ: Mario is either on the left or right side of the screen, weird beeping noise and trippy colors. you dont get very far as the game crashes by the 3rd pipe in 1-1
Some codes work differently on PRG0, PRG1. The Japanese version (Super Mario USA) is the same as PRG1. If you don't know what PRG0 and PRG1 are, the game pak and box have the revision letter of REV A and REV B respectively.
Mario 2 was my favorite Mario game on the NES . I could beat it as a young kid . Mario 3 I liked but it was to hard of a game for me at that time . It needed a save option .
Awesome vid Killgruz. Just walked my dog (named Yoshi) and sat down eating a burger with a beer whilst watching this. Time for some Luigi's Mansion before the wife gets back!
To add to my comment. I like your no nonsense commentary, would you be up for regular play throughs? I enjoy a relaxed background of good gameplay. Life can be unnecessarily stressful and stuff like this is a distracting world of bliss.
Oh, hey, it’s LGR’s long lost relative bringing us more awesomeness in the form of Game Genie codes for the best NES Mario game. Glad you’re back, bruh. 😆
Nik Clint (Also known by his UA-cam channel name Lazy Game Reviews or “LGR” for short). Killgruz sounds remarkably similar to LGR whenever he talks, hence my comment about them being long lost relatives. 😋
They look pretty fun especially the pull stuff from the background code. Question. Since a code gives you a carpet, what happens if you enter that first door in the sky in 1-1?
I'm intrigued by the commentary pacing/tone. It almost has a feel like, Bob Ross gentle explanation, mixed with kids movie narrator like "Milo and Otis" where theres personalization of events on screen.
That magic carpet code makes me wonder what happens if you go up to that door you fall from at the start of the game and go in it. ...Looking it up, it seems somebody tried it and what ends up happening is you just go to the same area you're in, but higher up than the door.
Some friends of mine (3 brothers) had an NES that started glitching sprites on games, especially SMB2. So all doors would be birdos, shy guys would be mushrooms and your character could be anybody. Made for a funny time
Great video! I'd love to see what you can do with the Game Genie with the Super Mario All-Stars version of SMB2 in the near future. Keep up the good work.
Great video K'gruz. There's a game genie code for SMB where all enemies throw hammers. Have you seen a game genie code for SMB2 where all enemies shoot eggs bullets or fireballs. That would be a real challenge code!
I like the way the original NES versions looks as compared to the SNES Super Mario All Stars version. I just picked up the original today and will be trying your codes. Thanks!
This game was a unique and refreshing take on the series. As a matter of fact, the first three Mario games were all weird experiences with the third game drawing directly from the first one but with such a different feel to it. Such pure talent! If only Nintendo was still what it was back then today...
@@TrentonDoesStuff. Dude... Give me a break! I can easily handle 21 FPS and with 4 sprites on the screen at the same time! I bet you can't process anything over.... ummm... wait... Where's my walker? Billy, is that you sonny? You were always my least favorite grandchild!
These codes are definitely cool ,i wish i discovered them back then,now i remember that i discovered a code wich will not only turn the game into B&W but also will glitch music into a pitchless version of it.
Its doing the cherry noise constantly because the tiles are all acting like cherries in some way, including air blocks. That's why they disappear. Should i try to look how to disable that sound effect, or you no longer care?
I once found a Game Genie code for Metroid II on the Gameboy that let me select different upgrades... And I actually discovered an unused beam that fired bombs. I don't remember the code though, and my Gameboy died so I can't go check.
I remember back in the day I would waste hours creating game genie codes for SMB and SMB2 and testing them and I'd write what the code did if it was worth it. I had lots and lots of pamphlets full of different codes for many interesting and cool effects. I wish I still had those around. Plus I had many other codes for other games as well.
hey, if you are going to do more smb1 game genie codes i have a few right here. aaeaea- cant explain this one lol pppppp- underground music plays when you are in overworls vice versa apleai- removes score shown when defeating enemies or collecting powerups aploai- removes the rest of a level
There was a Mega Float code for just the Princess in the original Game Genie codebook that I used to love! Combining that with giving all characters Quick Grab to make up for her shitty plucking stat and she was gloriously OP'd. I want to try Earthquake Mode though. It makes it seem like the planet is about to explode, Krypton style 🌎💥!
I realized it's been 5 months since my last Game Genie video. Love making these, so look out for more this year!

Thanks for the video man. This is what UA-cam is about.
Great video! My sister and I used to sit and put in foul words and random stuff. So many memories.

10 genie game codes.
PERFECT.

It won't let you on the carpet, but there is another code that lets you enter the door. It respawns you at the top of the screen

Mah favorite code is YEAAAAAHHHH BOI. Glad to see you back.
I don't know any codes but I think if they could add codes than a tag team code would be sweet
Ah yes, Doki Doki Panic. I love this game. :)
What?

My NES use to initiate the ‘graphics enhancer’ code quite often all by itself, at random times, no Game Genie required. On multiple games at that.
You missed the chance on number 2 to say "We all float down here" :P
cool video dude!
Mind......blown!! Little did I know about these!
3:40 GTLEGA
aka... Blast processing!
Gotta go fast!
Speedrun it
So you are my grandma and can't process things going over 20 fps

On the nes
woah drunk mode is wild
Hello the griz. Keep em up my dude.
It'd be awesome if there was a Super Mario Bros. 3 code that somehow allowed you to spawn Goomba Shoes, similar to the magic carpet code in this video
With the LEGPIO code, if you go through a potion door and try to collect a coin, the game will freak out.
8:23 Toad: "damn"
The behind the background code reminded me of in SMB3 when you duck on a white platform and you fall behind the background
Dunkeys game of the year for 15+ years running! Supa Mario 2 babyyyyyyyyyy
These codes are definitely cool ,i wish i discovered them back then,now i remember that i discovered a code wich will not only turn the game into B&W but also will glitch music into a pitchless version of it.
That last code could be a simulation of Frieza destroying the world Planet Vegeta style lol
I used Mario bro’s 2 game genie codes on a Mario bro’s 2 homebrew hack that was hard as hell and they worked. Got me through most of the game.
This wasn't exactly a brand new mario game, it's a re-skin of Doki Doki Panic
I love exploring areas!
What was the remix used in the outro? I really like how it sounds.
if you use legpio and then enter a door that has super mario bros music in it then when you pick up an item then it glitches the game out
Its doing the cherry noise constantly because the tiles are all acting like cherries in some way, including air blocks. That's why they disappear. Should i try to look how to disable that sound effect, or you no longer care?
Breaking the game! Breaking the game!
The American release of Super Mario Bros. 2 was literally a Japanese game with mario sprites placed on top of the characters and other slight changes
I love Game Genie, PAR and RAW codes! they make the games so fun to play!
why the zee code happened without the game genie sometimes when u had to blow in the tape to get it to work
earthquake mode too
4:46 the vegetable on the top was supposed to be a 1-up mushroom but it was a bomb instead
The "drunk mode" really messed with my head
They all float down here
This really helped me well sort of I just wanted to play around
my brains too fried to tell if GXXVLGAX is working
I once found a Game Genie code for Metroid II on the Gameboy that let me select different upgrades... And I actually discovered an unused beam that fired bombs. I don't remember the code though, and my Gameboy died so I can't go check.
On the PAL version, With LEGPIO code, the game crash reeeeeally bad when i try to pick up a coin 😅..

I had lots and lots of pamphlets full of different codes for many interesting and cool effects. I wish I still had those around. Plus I had many other codes for other games as well.
If you get drunk and play drunk mode it becomes regular mode again
I think what you get with LEGPIO depends on the background tile.
When I heard the ok bye police sirens rang outside lmao
What happen if you enter in the first door while you use the carpet code??? We can't enter at the start.
I love how he says code
7:34 - We all float down here...
For the game my favorite code was the infinite float. I think it only works with princess peach.
hey, if you are going to do more smb1 game genie codes i have a few right here.
aaeaea- cant explain this one lol
pppppp- underground music plays when you are in overworls vice versa
apleai- removes score shown when defeating enemies or collecting powerups
aploai- removes the rest of a level
(only tested on duck hunt ver)
3:07 “You’d have to be pretty drunk for things to look like this.”
A trick is to get through the door you are falling out of.
