<\/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>.<\/p>\n

This second entry on GG codes deals only with the US version of Super Mario Bros. 3<\/em> (the first entry is here<\/a>). Unfortunately, I didn’t have as many SMB3<\/em> codes in my book as I thought I did. Still, these are definitely neat. Try them out yourself and have fun. Also, feel free to share your own codes in the comments section.<\/p>\n

\"OOKXGLIE\"<\/p>\n
Code: OOKXGLIE<\/strong>
\nTired of getting hit and losing the rare Swimming Purple Raccoon Mario<\/em> power up? Well tire no more, since this code makes it permanent!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\"ANKXGLIE\"<\/p>\n
Code: ANKXGLIE<\/strong>
\nPermanent Mario Shoe<\/em>, as I like to call it. Exactly like Kuribo’s shoe, but different. You’re black and white, invincible, always small, and hopping around, but your shoe looks like a green Mario split in half. Awesome.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\"POKXGLIA\"<\/p>\n
Code: POKXGLIA<\/strong>
\nPermanent regular Mario. No, not invincible — just small. All the time. It’s tough being a short, stumpy man.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\"XNKXGLIA\"<\/p>\n
Code: XNKXGLIA<\/strong>
\nIntroducing…Black and White Mario<\/em>! This is like having permanent Kuribo’s shoe powers, but you always stay small, you don’t hop around, you look like Mario, and you’re intangible and invincible. You can stomp piranha plants too.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
