Fun story: When I was a kid, I learned who Al Gore was by using a cheat code to unlock him in NBA Jam. I actually thought it was a code for "All Gore" that was misspelled and was expecting blood, but instead... some boring old man.

Watching snesdrunk feels like being brought to 10 years old again.. Warm and nostalgic

Love seeing your secret-code notebook. It reminded me of Nintendo Power’s “Classified Information” section.

Seeing that notebook full of cheat codes took me back to the mid 90s...I used to take a piece of paper and a pencil to the grocery store & write down various codes for SNES & Playstation while my mom was at the checkout. We were built different 😂

MK3 on SNES actually has 3 secret menus - "Kool Stuff" which you mentioned (Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, A, B, A) but also "Kooler Stuff" (SELECT, A, B, Right, Left, Down, Down, Up, Up) and finally "Scott's Stuff" (X, B, A, Y, Up, Left, Down, Right, Down) which all contain different cheats. There's also a sound test menu that can be unlocked (A, Y, B, X). So yeah that game was packed to the roof with cheats (and that's not even counting the Kombat Codes you could enter on the VS screen).

What a fun video. The Street Fighter code also works on SF2, as you may do it while the Capcom sign shows up and it will allow both players to select the same character. I remember this has only been discovered a few weeks after the game was released and I was renting it for like 3 weekends in a row, so when I found out about it I said to my father "well, I guess we'll have to rent it once again!". Fun memories.

This was really nostalgic to watch. One of my favorite FF6 secrets is how early on in the game, when you first meet Banon, he'll ask Terra if she'll join the Returners, and if you answer "No" 3 times, then the game will still carry on like normal, but one of the Returners will give you a Genji Glove before you go. It's a nifty little secret, because the Genji Glove lets you equip a second weapon in your shield slot, and you otherwise wouldn't get one until much later.

Its awesome to see that I’m not the only person who kept their cheat code books as they got older! I still have a little blue book that I bought at school during a book fair in the early 90’s and filled it up with cheats and passwords! I keep the book with my SNES collection and I will never part with it. (Also nice space balls reference for street fighter 2 turbo)

_“Genesis Duhhhhhhh”_ I freaking love that.

I liked the codes of Killer Instinct; playing with Eyedol or a specific map to play on, so you can perform the stage fatality.

In Final Fantasy VI, I always loved using the Vanish/Doom trick while fighting those T-Rex in that forest. I was able to gain so many levels because of that 😄

Hell yeah. You could keep this series going for several episodes. So many cool cheat codes on the SNES

I remember in the first Donkey Kong Country game there's some codes you can enter on the game select screen - there's the "BARRAL" code that gives you 50 lives, and the "BAD BUDDY" code that lets you freely switch characters in a 2 player game, which is total chaos lol.

My brother and I created our own game genie codes for Super Mario World. We had the booklet, and then painstakingly altered the codes one letter at a time to see what kind of wacky results we would get. We ended up with some crazy things. A jump so high that you literally jump over the entire level in one shot, a jump that let you float like one of those dino ghost things, every coin is a 1up... Tons of fun.

It’s not a cheat code, but I watched a friend of mine defeat Culex with Mallow’s star smash. It took forever and he never messed up the timing. Probably the craziest gaming moment I ever saw in person. Guy was sweating, and I wonder if his hand ever started working correctly again. 20+ years and I’m still impressed.

You know what SNES Drunk? You have a great rest of your day

I miss these secret codes. Whenever we were playing a game for the first time...we would just wonder if they have a secret code or other secrets. It just made games so much more fun to play.

if you bring the golden bee to the merchant that sells you the bottles, he'll offer to buy it from you with special dialogue. You can also bring him the fish that appear when you drain the water from the area south of link's house and he'll say something like "I hear eating fish is good for your health" and buy it

Metroid and Donkey Kong have some insane sequence breaks as well. I'll also just note that there is a mini boss in Chrono Trigger's Black omen who can be charmed of a strength tab and then run away from to repeat as many times as you like. Truly drunk, you do the Lord's work today.

In Faceball 2000, the SNES version of MidiMaze, you can unlock the entire Game Boy version's puzzle mode by holding L and R when selecting the number of players at the title screen! When the screen fades to black, then release L and R and the main menu will have a new option called "Cyberscape" to play in.

There are hundreds of custom player sprites for Link to the Past -- you see people using them in randomizer races a lot-- and one of them is indeed the Golden Bee.

Always a good morning with your videos

this channel is the best (for snes) because its no bs, no fake good vibe... just what were here for.

7:57 I found this completely by accident, I was curious as to why this particular bee was sparkling and caught it. "What the heck is a Good Bee?" Well, it's certainly not an Evil Bee! And you can re-catch it to reset its timer. Try it in the Ganon fight!

Cheat codes were one of the most memorable in video game history,and it still does after so many years. The Konami code is one of those famous codes. It’s incredible to see these cheat codes.

I was today years old when I found out about that bee in Zelda. Love this game, just when you think you know it all in the game, there is something new to discover.

Was expecting to see the lazy shell in marip rpg once you started talking about secrets. I used to put the lazy shell on toadstool, pretty much everything will only do 1hp of damage to her, the final boss' strongest attack will do 2hp. Sure, she can't do much damage but that doesn't matter, she's a healer. Toadstool can tank everything, even culex, and just group hug your team to victory.

An important note about Gradius III's Good version of the Konami Code (i.e., the one that doesn't kill you instantly) - it only works as many times as you've completed levels (e.g., at the start of the game, you only can use it once. But if you make it all the way to, say, level 5, you can use it up to five (although knowing most of you probably activated at the start, technically four) times). Two other cheats exist. If you rapidly mash the X Button on the title screen, you can get more continues - up to 9 before the opening sequence replays, at which point it resets back to three continues. If you want 30 lives, instead, then while still on the title screen, hold left, hit "A" three times, then hit start. It's worth pointing out that you can get _some_ additional continues in addition to the 30 lives, but it's impossible to get all 9 continues and 30 lives unless you have access to turbo-fire or an emulator that allows you to make frame-perfect button presses...and even that's not a guarantee.

I love the Link to the Past wall glitch. I generally don’t try to sequence break games, but I figured I’d try that one out last winter and it was oddly satisfying - especially when the credits roll and show that you had zero deaths throughout the game (which is very hard to accomplish in a normal playthrough, from my own experience)

Aaaw Yes another Snes Drunk video that returns me to my childhood. In my country back in the day (as in many others) GTA Vice City and San Andreas were heavy hitters, every cibercafe had either one or both. The hour back then was dirt cheap, and these guys also had a side hustle in which they'd sell you a paper sheet with the cheatcodes impressed on them. I must have bought 3 or 4 of them cuz you'd always misplace it or break it appart.

This was an awesome compilation and I can't wait for part 2. Cheat codes are such a huge part of early games. Can't wait to see the Game Genie parts next!

Nice video! In Donkey Kong Country you can get infinite lives really easy with Diddy Kong in the beginning of Millstone Mayhem. Get the Bonus barrel just over the entrance normally and when you get back to the level youll see that a "Krusha" is walking away.... You need to choose Diddy Kong and follow that Krusha (be sure you are following just one of them as there are two) and it will fall some slope and is going to walk back and forth on the entrance. Now jump again where the Bonus Barrel is, but dont enter it, you have to wait untill Krusha is just beside the entrance and by sliding down that slope while pressing left on the d-pad youll get in a bucle where diddy bounces off the Krusha and instead of falling to the ground. Keep pressing left and in a couple of seconds it will start giving infinite lives.

Thank you! That was a nice hit of nostalgia. And don't forget, there was no internet back then, so you either found the codes in a magazine or from your friends at school. Happy days indeed! :-)

What a great video. I think this is the first time I see someone mention the hidden platform in Castlevania 4 that I discovered as a kid. Snes is still great in the 2020s

Hey I just found this channel and loving the content! One cheat that I'll never forget is for Battletoads/Double Dragon. On the character select screen you can highlight any character and press up/down/down/up/X/B/Y/A/Select and the screen will flicker. It will take you to a stage selector with 10 lives and 5 continues each player instead of the default 4 lives and 3 continues (I think that's default). But once you beat the game instead of the usual "Congratulations" Professor T Bird says something along the lines of "Next time try winning without a cheat code". Battletoads in Battlemaniacs has a code where when the screen says Tradewest, hold down+A+B and press start. On the next screen the flag will flicker orange(or red?) and you get more continues and lives. Thanks for bringing back all these memories. SNES is my favorite system.

This video was really fun to watch. Its like having your older brother show you mind blowing secrets before anyone could just go online

The debug codes from the Super Star Wars trilogy are the only reason I got through those games. I used them so often that I can still recall all three.

It doesn't apply to snes, but my absolute favourite gameshark code was walk through doors on Goldeneye, and then getting to see the full level available on Facility versus map. There wasn't anything to do there, but it was there, and loaded in, and I just loved that. I would use that when I did play versus with friends to get an even bigger level than what they had on offer.

I think when it comes to SNES games, I really liked the secret minigame in Yoshi;s Island, which is unlocked if you press the POW on one chain monster, and which allows you to play with 2 players.

My brother bought A Link to the Past 30 years ago and this is the first time I ever heard about the Good Bee. Neat! FF3 SNES has another Vanish-related bug. With Relm, if you sketch a vanished enemy, the game goes bonkers, often leaving you with tons of awesome items in your inventory.

A few more Capcom games had that DRULYB code. I think the Vanish-Doom bug in FF6 was because the game checked for vulnerabilities before resistance/immunity when calculating status effects and the Vanish/Clear status made the next magical effect hit 100% of the time.

This was great, SNES drunk! I normally never do this, but it would be really cool to see an NES version with some of the info in that notebook. I'd love to see some new (old) NES cheats that I either was never aware of, or had completely forgotten about. 🤓👍

The Konami code also works on Rock 'n Roll Racing in the character selection menu. If executed right, you can play as Olof from The Lost Vikings, who has the best driving characteristics in the game.

Ah the good old days when you had cheat codes. Tips and Tricks magazines showed me those codes

Actually the Japanese version of Contra Spirits actually has working cheats - which curiously, they are inputs for Ryu and Ken's special moves in Street Fighter II including Hadouken, Shoryuken and Hurricane Kick (tatsumaki senpuukyaku). Too bad they are disabled in the US Contra III and Super Probotector Alien Rebels. The Hadouken one was the code for 30 lives.

The Sega Megadrive had some ace cheat codes that were super-simple to remember. Chuck Rock (ABRACADABRA) and Mortal Kombat (DULLARD) instantly spring to mind!

MK3 actually had 3 secret menus: Kool stuff, Kooler stuff, and Scott's stuff. Really exciting when I was a kid.

This is awesome. I've been thinking about a video like this for years. I even wrote down this idea many years ago in my phone's memos calling it "All Passwords/Cheats SNES Games" which was supposed to be a series of videos about ONE game at a time, covering all the cheats for one game and just playing around with them a bit and commenting on them. The second idea reads "Best of Cheats SNES (Best useful cheats [Yoshi's Island, Cool Spot])". This was supposed to be more like your video, covering multiple games and just showing my favourite cheats and passwords. I am not a KZfaqr though and don't plan on becoming one in the near future lol, they were just ideas. I am so glad that out of all the gaming channels on KZfaq my favourite channel had the same exact idea! Even the name of the video is similar to my idea! The video turned out great as always, thanks for your ongoing efforts. I even learned about cheats in games that I possess that I had no clue about, for example in Batman Returns, one of my favourite SNES games. To elaborate on Yoshi's Island and Cool Spot: In Yoshi's Island there's a anwesome cheat, just go to the level selection screen, hold SELECT and press X, X, Y, B, A. This will unlock a secret menu that allows you to play the mini games that you encounter during the levels sometimes at any time and some of them are even for two players! This blew my mind when I first found out about it. In Cool Spot there's a secret level selection menu, which allows you to start at any level you like, I think even the bonus levels. Good way to practice certain levels. Simply start the game and wait for the screen with the Virgin logo (the screen where you can rotate the Virgin logo left and right by pressing L or R and changing its size, I forgot what buttons triggered the change of size though). Hold L and R and press SELECT 30 times while still holding L and R. I appreciate cheats like that, especially for the bonus levels. Maybe you enjoyed those games as much as I did as a kid. In that case I'd be happy to see them featured in part 2 :) Alright, I wanna thank you for reading and I hope you have a great rest of your day!

A 10 minute + snes drunk video is always going to make me giddy. This was the first youtube channel I became attached to probably 4-5 years ago and I'll cry a river when this channel is gone. Hopefully not for 30 years or so 🤞

Me and a friend used the 10-star turbo to cram in a ton of matches in the 1 hour we'd be given to play each day, so that's a practical use!

I loved the Sim City code as a kid as well. I think it's more a glitch (probably a stack overflow) than an intended code. Here's one thing I found by myself as a kid : In Secret of Evermore, you can max out your call beads. Play the game normaly and when you get the plane go to the landing spot near the market in Antika, then go save your game in case it doesn't work properly. Then, go next to the palace entrance, you will find one call bead on the spot on the right where you found one earlier in the game, except this time mash the button and you'll get one for every button press, you'll know it works because the message should stay on-screen until you can't carry any more. You can even use the spell to make more afterwards and go over the 99 item limit the same way you can go over the max item number if you're maxed out on those and get one from boss fights (like with the giant octopus). I replicated this multiple time on the PAL version and if I recall correctly it also works on the US version.

Deftones have a really beautiful instrumental track titled 'U,U,D,D,L,R,L,R,A,B,Select,Start' off their Saturday Night Wrist album.

I loved the battle mode code for Mega Man 7, that would allow you to play as either Mega Man or Bass, and they each had their own move-sets. Makes me wonder why they never made a fully fledged Mega Man fighter-type game.

Omg! Going to try the Sim City one tonight! I had a lot of fun with the lufia 2 select glitch. It tweaks the stats of your characters. It also was a little risky as far as corrupting stuff, but I loved it. Thank you for the video! I really love the channel!

Omg Flash back I remember playing that mini game for mk3! I have been collecting for retro games for years now, but that memory never came back to me until right now. Thanks!

Ah, you've reminded me of the binder I had of hand-copied cheats for all my games from as many magazines as I could get them from, along with a big section of codes I'd found myself using the Pro Action Replay 3. Moon jumps, weird colour palettes, fast and air fireballs and more for SF2 Turbo, along with a stage select code that let you fight on any stage including the bonus ones. The main problem there being that the destructible part of the car was a background layer and would scroll as I never found the code to disable scrolling. Fun times.

Great episode! Can't wait for pt. 2.

Awesome! I JUST got the Arcade Box and I can't wait to try these out. Thanks, Hoss!

Making Tuesdays Thursdays and the nintendo power classified information section great again

I also have the notebook that I kept cheats, passwords and other things in! For Mortal Kombat 3, there is the Kool Stuff menu you mentioned but there are others too... There are the Kooler Stuff (Select, A, B, Right, Left, Down, Down, Up, Up) and Scott's Stuff (X, B, A, Y, Up, Left, Down, Right, Down) menus as well as the sound test (A, Y, B, X).

For Sim City, it's definitely the money cheat, and the code that lets you bulldoze anything, including water. It can be a little tricky to master, but once you do, its fun to make a city so massive you need 8 power plants or more, with a tiny airport only 4 tiles wide. It really helps if you hack in special buildings too, mainly because you often can't use them in the order that you get them and you can always use a few more police headquarters unless you want to have cops literally everywhere.

GREAT video. brought back so many memories. I played a lot of NES and Genesis during this era and boy were codes awesome. I don't remember many from the NES, i was too young, but the Genesis brought with it some fond memories.... some of my favorite games to use codes in: Robocop vs Terminator, NBA JAM TE, Aladdin, Jungle Strike, Separation Anxiety, MK2&3, T2 Arcade Game, SONIC DEBUG MENUS!!!! oh man... the good times. I'm sure theres plenty i'm forgetting. Also i used the Gameshark a lot on the n64 for Goldeneye - that absolutely blew the game wide open, the gameshark came preloaded with secrete levels, all unlocks, infinite health, bullets, stealth, glitches... all kinds of weird stuff. Probably the most fun i had playing on the N64 was Goldeneye with GameShark - being able to warp around your favorite levels and explore like a god while devising viscous ways to kill all the enemies.

I really miss the days of cheat codes. I used to wait for EGM or GamePro to publish the latest codes. Cheat codes added so much replayability to games, and made the more difficult games more enjoyable. The Game Genie added a lot of fun also. The SFII bosses Genie code was huge news back then.

The Mortal Kombat blood code for Sega Genesis - I don't think I'll ever forget it. ABACABB.

The Super Star Wars series cheat codes are probably ones worth telling people about. Those games can be notoriously difficult for some people and each game has a code that gives you all kinds of options and abilities that make them easier and add all kinds of fun quirks to explore. Cheers!

Bro that Spaceballs reference had me dying 🤣. Almost spit my drink all over my computer at work haha

For some reason this just gave me major flashbacks to reading game magazines with random codes to random games (some for consoles I didn't have and never played). Dk why it did that but nice video. Never got into the SNES (least haven't so far; plan to now that I have handheld emulation consoles to solve time constraints) as it was a bit before my time, had an 8-bit console but the 5th gen are my true early memories, yet this still gave me that sweet major nostalgia and sudden wave of memories flushing over me. Thank you!

The Rock n Roll Racing ones are fun. L+R+Select held down lets you choose Olaf as a racer or in Versus mode you can choose the Inferno tracks

Wow I did not know about a lot of these. Takes me back to much better times though, thank you.

Another great vid from one of the best channels on youtube, thanks brother. Hey consider making a video about famous lies or urban legends about old games, stuff we used to tell each other but was in no way true, lol. First one I can think of is Ermac from Mortal Kombat, I had friends who swore up and down they figured out how to fight him.

More of a secret than a code, but in Cybernator if you beat the first level without killing any enemies and just defeat the boss, you start the next level with the Napalm weapon. My memory is a little fuzzy, but I think there was something you could do (or not do) in the second level that would fully upgrade the napalm weapon for the rest of the game. Don't know why, but this secret has always stuck with me out of all my SNES games.

The best codes usually aren't things like infinite lives, infinite health, infinite gold. Depending on the game, I like to change rules, add equipment, or walk through walls.

Great video! I recall some of these cheat codes from old gaming magazines. I never knew about that Link to the Past ending skip, though. That is pretty amazing! That is one thing about I miss in many modern games. You don't usually see a lot of cheat codes in this day and age.

I didn't know the last one but the others I heard about when I was in middle school. Awesome video😄

There are a few other codes for Gradius 3. So many I can't remember them all, but one of the simpler ones is if you mash X on the title screen it'll give you extra continues.

NBA Jam had the best codes. How cool was it to play as the Beastie Boys?

In secret of mana you can get the mana sword. You have to save with Neko at the ice world. Start a new game and beat the first boss for a sword orb then hold down the reset button and some other weird stuff, but you are able to spawn as your master save at the beginning of the game. But then call the flammie and you are back at the master save. Go and take your stolen orb and forge the mana sword. Crazy… it’s real, I did it

Thanks for going out of your way to show the rest of the world this I knew about 60% of any code that you had and it just touches my soul that someone's got this kind of clue!

There are 2 other codes...or KODES I remember from my childhood in MK3 that add on to Kool Stuff. Kooler Stuff is select, A, B, Right, Left, D, D, U, U and Scott's Stuff is X, B, A, Y, U, Left, D, Right, Down. I think you'll enjoy these!

I'm not sure if I ever figured out how to get out of the power up pit in Super Empire Strikes Back. One code I used a lot as a kid was the debug code for Super Star Wars, you could play as all characters earlier, make yourself invincible, walk through walls, and other stuff. Walking through walls was fun for exploring out of bounds like in the Sand Crawler even though there wasn't much to see. To my understanding, the other Super Star Wars games have similar codes, but I never found them as a kid.

I love Soyo Oka’s SNES SimCity soundtrack. That outro gave me a warm fuzzy feeling! All I’m missing is the warm glow (and the annoying high pitched whine) of m CRT TV and a Squeezit and I’m 10 again. Instant 1993 vibes from this, Mario Paint or Final Fight.

I love this!! Keep making more of these.

Total length of video: 660 secs. Total length of "SNES Drunk": 3.5 secs. .53% of the video was spent listening to "SNES Drunk".

You mentioned super empire strikes back but not the debug menu for all three games. It lets you be overpowered and stage select so you can see the whole game without pulling your hair out.

ngl this is some QUALITY CONTENT (about to be the coolest one at the holiday party this year, FINALLY!.)Thank you, you totes got a sub from this one

Oh yes you are going to do more thank you this was really exciting to hear

GENESIS DUHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

SNEESSSSSSSSSSDRUNK! 🌝

Thank you for describing the high-speed Street Fighter as "going plaid." That made my day.

Shanahan playing for the Blues? Now there’s something I haven’t thought about for a long, long time.

“Hey I’m just gonna take this Triforce alright?” LMAO

Great video. Look forward to seeing said sequel.

love going down memory road with this channel

Do a part 2!! This was hilarious

Excellent video !! What about the Killer Instinct codes ?? I hope you talk about them in a next episode 😁

Those Link to the Past secrets are great! I had no idea there was a Good Bee, or that skipping to the Triforce was so simple, lol.

Love all your videos man!

didnt know about the zelda glitch xD loved the vid, happy new year

Thank you for all the nostalgic feels
