    BTW: One of the codes for DKC2 was first found this year, 29 years after the game released.

    There is also the Kirby 64 cheat that was discovered a year or two ago, it goes like this:
    If File 3 is at 0% and File 2 is completely empty, do this at the HAL Laboratory splash screen when starting the game up:
    On the controller in Slot 2, hold the L button and press C-Up, C-Up, R Button, C-Right, C-Left and Start. If done correctly, File 3 should show 100% completion.

    12:25 If you insist on beating Metroid with that particular password, I'd suggest picking up at least 1 Missile expansion. The game WILL freeze if you kill any metroids, mainly because the game's trying to drop missile refills for missiles you technically don't have. While you don't have near infinite missiles if you do pick up an expansion, I think having the max amount of them you can normally hold (pretty sure it's 255) will do just fine, heh.

    The Gold and Silver code also exists in Crystal, but it's more complicated, as it involves more buttons, and holding them in specific order.
    Given that you also need to know the password to reset the clock (which you are not knowing without messing with the game or using external tools lol)...
    it's most likely a debug feature that was left in the game, especially since it's not present in Japanese versions, where the only way to reset the clock is when the game thinks clock data is invalid or corrupted and makes you set it again.

    You know, the ending that prompts you to DELETE YOUR SAVE FILE in order help another player's credits sequence minigame. Usually the very last ending you're gonna see.
    The code is: hold R (R2/RT for other consoles) and press *up down up right left square circle triangle cross* . You need to have defeated Marx and to stand exactly between the two barrels.

Is it just enter and exit the cabin, run to where the first Kritter is then double back, enter the cabin, grab the 1-up and leave, run to where the first Kritter is again, double back again, enter the cabin again and the coin will be there? Do you have to grab and break the DK Barrel on the way back to the cabin for the last time? Do you have to stomp on a rat on the first trip to where the Kritter is? Do you have to hit a rat with the DK Barrel on the way back to the cabin for the last time?

      3. Jump over the two bananas to the right and head over to the four barrels that have the banana bunch on top. Take note to NOT touch or kill any of the enemies along the way.
      4. Grab the banana bunch and head back to the cabin. You still much avoid the enemies and the two bananas on the ground.
      5. Back in the cabin, jump over the note and grab the balloon then exit without touching the note at all.
      6. Repeat steps 3 and 4
      7. The 75 Kremcoins will be there in the cabin.

    Rock Shore: L + Left Stick Left + A.
    also in NSMB as well as in NSMB 2 you can play as Luigi by pressing L+R in the file select screen
    in NSMB you can play a harder mode if you press L, R, L, R, X, X, Y, Y in the pause screen in the world map, this makes it that you cant move the camera backwards in some levels, like in the original Super Mario Bros

      I would argue the famous Metroid passwords are not true cheat codes, as they were not intentionally programmed. The password system is really just a transcription of the game state into human-readable form that can be restored later. JUSTIN and ENGAGE just both happen to be valid passwords, though the latter really shouldn’t because it breaks the game by drastically overflowing the play time counter.

    • @NintenUnity
      @NintenUnity  18 днів тому +8

      It's really weird. The passwords get generated based on your ID number, money and name, although the game does not tell you how. So, people in 1999 had basically no way of actually getting the correct password. Nowadays, there are generators like this one: legendarypkmn[dot]net/pass/

      I had that moment but with Ocarina of Time. There's never any cheat codes for Zelda games so I was always skeptical of the method to get the Golden Scale early. I had my ex-best friend try it since I was watching him play it. In the fishing game as Young Link catching the biggest fish awards a Piece of Heart. As Adult Link doing the same awards the Golden Scale. It's an item that let's Link dive deeper and an upgrade to the Silver Scale. I forget the method but you must do something specific as Young Link. I told my ex-best friend what to do and both of us were so shocked when it actually worked. This made me wonder if other things I thought were bupkis were actually legit. I can confirm the Sinking Lure is real and that I have found it. As far as the Hylian Loach goes I've never caught it or even seen it yet.

    the title makes it sound like Cheat Codes can just 'appear' in games out of nowhere...the devs HAVE to code a specific Cause+Effect in order for specific button inputs to trigger specific results...
    (then theres methods such ss GameGenie, GameShark, ActionReplay, etc...but those are more like Directly Editing the game's code to overwrite certain values, so theyre more-or-less "community-made" rather than dev-intended)
