<\/a>The Game Genie<\/a> is without a doubt the coolest peripheral I’ve ever owned for the NES. When I was bored with regular old NES games, I could essentially “reprogram” them with the device and make them more interesting. Tired of being told by game designers that I had to play the games their way, I delighted in manipulating game mechanics. After all, I thought, I bought the game, and I should be able to play it however I want (“Game Genie: empowering the gamer since 1991”<\/em>). Before long, the codes included in the official Game Genie booklet got boring, so my brother and I made up our own. This resulted in some particularly reality-bending codes, the best of which I have included here. Some of these codes might have been discovered by other fellow Game Genie enthusiasts since then, but I assure you, these are straight from my circa-1994 spiral-bound, home made Game Genie Book<\/em>. This first entry on GG codes deals only with Super Mario Bros.<\/em> More specifically, the Super Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt<\/em> cartridge was used to make these codes. Try them out yourself and have fun. Also, feel free to share your own codes in the comments section!<\/p>\n

\"LUIGIO\"<\/p>\n
Code: LUIGIO<\/strong>
\nTotally whacks up the graphics, and the game freezes at the third pipe. Why use it? Just because you can (…it spells Luigi-o).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\"YLYYYA\"<\/p>\n
Code: YLYYYA<\/strong>
\nPermanent ice-skating Mario. This was always one of my favorites. Everything else seems fine.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\"SOSSSO\"<\/p>\n
Code: SOSSSO<\/strong>
\nYou get an extra life with every stomp, on every type of enemy. Awesome!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\"OZOPPI\"<\/p>\n
Code: OZOPPI<\/strong>
\nCoin blocks are in weird positions, but inside every one is a mushroom \/ fire flower. You can only have one power-up on the screen at a time though.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\"PISPEG\"<\/p>\n
Code: PISPEG<\/strong>
\nThis is hilarious: the regular floor is replaced with water. Mario falls down and dies not only on the first stage, but the title screen as well.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\"OZTLLX\"<\/p>\n
Code: OZTLLX<\/strong>
\nAh, one of the classics. With this code you can be regular small Mario and still have the fire flower. You can’t break blocks though.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Coming Soon:<\/strong> Game Genie codes for Super Mario Bros. 3<\/em>. There are some awesome ones for it in my personal code book, so stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
