Excerpt from a Twitter thread translating posts from a hashtag where Japanese developers share their contributions to old games:

Super Mario Bros.

Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt / World Class Track Meet has unused graphics from Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels, which can be activated by a Game Genie code, allowing one to play SMB1 levels with The Lost Levels graphics, albeit with some glitched tiles in different parts of the game.
Pokémon Emerald Version

Because the developers were still experimenting with Double Battles where the player teams up with an NPC ally to fight two NPC opponents, this lead to a glaring oversight during the battle where the player joins with Steven Stone to battle Maxi and Tabitha where, during the battle, Steven's Level 42 Metang can actually gain a substantial amount of EXP simultaneously with the player's own Pokémon. This essentially means that, with careful manipulation, the player can have the ally Metang get enough EXP to grow to Level 43. This so far is the only instance in the entire Pokémon main series where, in a non-scripted battle, an NPC's Pokémon can gain EXP and level up.
GoldenEye 007

A common debate among GoldenEye 007 fans is whether playing as Oddjob in the multiplayer mode is cheating due to his short stature going below the auto-aim bullet radius. This would be addressed by lead environmental artist Karl Hilton and gameplay and engine programmer Mark Edmonds in an oral history article released by Mel Magazine in 2018, 21 years after the game, who stated that they too thought playing as Oddjob was cheating, and they were aware of this during development:

Hilton: "We all thought it was kind of cheating when we were play-testing with Oddjob [due to his short stature, the auto-aim of the weapons goes above his head], but it was too much fun to take out and there was no impetus from any of us to change it. It’s clearly become part of the culture and folklore of the game  —  I noticed playing GoldenEye as Oddjob was mentioned in Ready Player One, so ultimately, I think it’s fine."

Edmonds: "It’s definitely cheating to play as Oddjob! But that can just add to the fun when you’re all sitting there next to each other and berating/poking/hitting the person who chooses him. Personally I like to pick Jaws [who originally appeared in 1977’s The Spy Who Loved Me] and then beat the person with Oddjob just to show them! We could have put something in to stop this blatant cheating, but why not just let players decide on their own rules?"

Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed
subdirectory_arrow_right Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (Game)
2
The post-credits scene of the film Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed has Scooby present the audience with a "Game Boy Advance Secret Code" for the tie-in video game of the film, the easily-guessable "SD2". This code is promoted as working with both the GBA and PC versions of the game and is prompted to be entered at the end of each port of the game.

In the GBA version, entering the code will reveal who the main culprit is. If it is not entered, the ending cutscene will cut off before the culprit is revealed as to prevent spoilers.

In the PC version, entering the code will instead trigger a bonus Dance the Fright Away minigame between the main villain and every member of Mystery, Inc.

As of version 1.3, after inputting a secret code on the Practice Mode select screen, "Mike%" is activated, which adds a timer to the game which stops once Mike is defeated. This is presumably a nod to the Mike% speedrunning category found on the game's page on Speedrun.com.

If this code is active while playing the game's final level, Mike is found sleeping in the corner of the boss room.

In 2024, a hidden variation of the Konami Code was discovered in the game that allows you to unlock all characters and costumes from the start. To activate it, on the title screen, press C-Up four times/C-Down four times/C-Left/C-Left/C-Right/C-Right/C-Left/C-Left/C-Right/C-Right/L/R/Z.
Kingdom Hearts

In the Bizarre Room in Wonderland, the fireplace's flames can be "put out" if Sora attacks the fireplace's grated opening with a Blizzard spell, and it can be lit anew if the grated opening is hit with Fire magic instead. Being able to put out the fire makes the second phase of the Trickmaster Heartless boss fight even easier, as the frantic boss cannot light their juggling apparatuses and fling their own Fire at Sora. This is also possibly why the Cheshire Cat gifts Sora a Blizzard spell/upgrade when Sora obtains and shows him at least the Claw Marks piece of evidence during Alice's trail, and also why the grated opening itself is able to be locked onto.

The original release of the ROM hack was criticized by many players for having an unexpectedly high difficulty spike in the latter portions of the game. Among these critics were Vinny of the livestreaming group Vinesauce, who conducted a livestream of the hack thanks to it being a fangame designed around his content. In response to this, the hack's developer, Eminus, released an "easy mode" version on the r/vinesauce subreddit which reduces slowdown, adds additional power-ups, and allows the player to toggle indefinite invincibility on and off using the R button.

• R1/L1/Left on the D-Pad/R1/L1/Square/Down on the D-Pad = Dedicated No Chestburst code.
• R2/L2/Right on the D-Pad/R2/L2/Circle/Down on the D-Pad = Dedicated No Drowning code.

Remaining miscellaneous cheat codes that can be activated include:

• L1/Circle/Square/L1/Down on the D-Pad/Up on the D-Pad/Circle = Have weapons you can have at selected point in the game.
• R1/Square/L2/L1 = Selecting quit warps you to section 0 of selected level.
• R1/Triangle/Square/L1 = Quit functions as a restart.
• Triangle/L1/R1/Square/L1/R1/L1/Square = Press L2 + L1 to display debug information while in-game.

Alien Resurrection
1
On December 19, 2023, programmer Martin Piper revealed a pair of hidden cheat codes he included in the original release of Alien Resurrection. To execute these codes, you need to go into the game's Options menu and unlock the Cheat Menu with the code Circle/Left on the D-Pad/Right on the D-Pad/Circle/Up on the D-Pad/R2. The cheats Piper revealed include the following:

• A level selection menu can be unlocked in the Options menu right after unlocking the Cheat Menu by pressing R1/Down on the D-Pad/R1/Right on the D-Pad/L1/Up on the D-Pad/L2/Square. If entered correctly, you will hear a "bonk" sound indicating the code has been activated. Re-entering the Cheat Menu will reveal an additional option to re-visit any section in any level in the game.

• The more notable of the two codes Piper revealed is one that allows the Alien Resurrection disc to act as a boot disc to play PlayStation games on any burned CD-R disc without the use of modding. This novelty method works with any PlayStation model (as long as you have something to block the tray disc sensor on newer models so you can swap out the disc with the tray open), and must be done after unlocking the level selection menu (you can save after unlocking this menu so you do not have to unlock it again if you want to perform the disc swap trick). Once that is unlocked, go back to the Options menu and enter the code Left on the D-Pad/Up on the D-Pad/Right on the D-Pad/Down on the D-Pad/Right on the D-Pad/Up on the D-Pad/Left on the D-Pad/Square/Triangle/Square/Triangle/L1. The "bonk" sound will again be heard if the code is activated. Next, go back to the Cheat Menu and set the level selection to Level 6 and Section 1. Then while highlighting Section 1, hold down L1 (Note: it's imperative to keep holding down L1 for the remainder of this method) and press X. The screen will turn black and the Alien Resurrection disc will stop spinning, at which point you can swap out the disc with a burned CD-R disc of any PlayStation game you desire. While still holding L1, hold Square and Triangle, and then release all three buttons to boot the burned CD-R game.

When asked by YouTube channel Modern Vintage Gamer, Piper revealed that the latter cheat code had never been disclosed to Sony when the game was sent in for certification as Sony would have immediately sent the game back and forced the developers to remove it since it acted as a backdoor for playing pirated games, and he believed that no other developers who worked on the game were made aware of it either. In a YouTube comment, he explained that he only revealed the codes now because it had been so long since the game's release and he did not want to hold onto the secret for the rest of his life. According to him, the intent of the feature stemmed from Alien Resurrection potentially being planned as a multi-disc game, with the feature being implemented as a test to see if discs could be changed without resetting the PlayStation. Unlike standard multi-disc games that function with the PlayStation's built-in ability to swap out discs through an API call to maintain memory data without fully resetting the console, Alien Resurrection has code that loads an .exe file on any burned CD-R disc you swap it out with to start that new game up while bypassing the PlayStation's anti-piracy protection check.

Dance Dance Revolution Disney Mix

In the North American/Worldwide versions of the game, you can unlock Maniac charts by completing all Trick charts. However, the Japanese version of the game which released first contained a much more convoluted two-part process for unlocking Maniac charts that went undiscovered for several years and was previously only thought to be accessible through GameShark cheats:

• The first part involves highlighting several songs in a specific order for very brief seconds:
1. Highlight "Mickey Mouse March (Eurobeat Ver)" for 1 second by coming from the song to the left of it
2. "Chim Chim Cher-ee" for 2 seconds from the left
3. "Macho Duck" for 1 second from the right
4. "ELECTRICAL PARADE (Radio Future MIX)" for 1 second from the left
5. "IT'S A SMALL WORLD" for 2 seconds from the right
6. "I Want You Back" for 1 second from the right

The first song, "Mickey Mouse March (Eurobeat Ver)", must be selected by coming from the left, which means you must immediately move to the song to the left when the song select screen loads. The songs do not count towards unlocking Maniac charts until at least roughly a second passes, so there is some wiggle room to correct mistakes. If you succeed with the first part of this process, then you will not need to redo it should you mess up the second part.

• The second part requires plugging in a second controller and inputting several button combinations on both controllers (P1 = first controller; P2 = second controller):
1. Press Down on the D-Pad twice to select Trick mode
2. Press P1 Triangle and P1 Cross
3. While still holding P1 Triangle, press P1 Cross again
4. Press P1 Square and P1 Right
5. While still holding P1 Right, press P1 Cross
6. While still holding P1 Cross, press P2 Square
7. While still holding P2 Square, press P2 Triangle
8. While still holding P2 Triangle, press P2 Cross
9. While still holding P2 Triangle, press P2 Right
10. Press P2 Cross and P2 Square
11. While still holding P2 Square, press P2 Right
12. While still holding P2 Square, press P2 Triangle
13. Press P2 Cross and P2 Right
14. While still holding P2 Cross, press P2 Square
15. While still holding P2 Square, press P2 Right
16. Press P2 Triangle and P2 Cross
17. Press P2 Square and P2 Right

Should this code be inputted correctly, a ding sound effect will be heard, and Maniac mode will be selected automatically and can be reselected whenever you want without inputting the code again.

Garfield Kart: Furious Racing
1
If a player beats a Garfield Kart: Furious Racing time trial in less than 40 seconds - something believed to be impossible without cheating - this message will appear:

You cheated not only the game, but yourself.



You didn''t grow.

You didn''t improve.

You took a shortcut and gained nothing.



You experienced a hollow victory. Nothing was risked and nothing was gained. It''s sad that you don''t know the difference.

The text is lifted from a Tweet by user @Fetusberry about a PC Gamer article on beating Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice with cheats.
