If you write out the code on a sign, walk into the Konami headquarters brandishing it, and shout incessantly about the failings of modern Konami versus the old days, it unlocks a secret IRL cutscene where the police come to escort you to a temporary, minimalist apartment.
You forgot about Rocket League: entering the Konami code during startup will turn your title screen into a throwback of its predecessor "Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars" with it's bonkers theme song included, and you would('ve) receive(d) a Moai antenna to put on your car. (Tested it, still works even after the F2P update and during the Ghostbusters Halloween makeover)
well, that explains why they are not arround anymore. Insted of godmode forever, they got it for some minutes to build their stonehenge, and than exploded. xD
“Enter the Konami code, and you’ll turn the turkey into an Assassin.” Nah, you’re just bringing out its true nature. Turkeys have always been ruthless.
Lol I have to remember the code trick for when I next replay the assassins creed games haha Every so often I go back to them and replay, Ezio's story is so much fun- specially when you can totally send in your minions to do all the dirty work haha
(Looking at the animal transformation title there) "There you are, using the Konami Code in your game of choice, and suddenly, you're a furry...you didn't ask for this, you didn't choose this, but there it is...and it's treated no differently than playing a human character"
I grew up in the 2000's so when people started talking about Contra/the Konami Code, I was like YES! I TOTALLY RECOGNIZE THAT AND DIDN'T ASSOCIATE IT WITH A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GAME FOR YEARS!!! *Hides copy of Mercenaries POD*
Hey, Larry! I know it's been years, but I'd love to see you bring back your video series where you exposed the flaws in classic films. It was always fun to see these "easter eggs" that were continuity errors, and exposing the filmmaking business. If you've ever thought of bringing the series back, 2021 would be a great year to return that long lost series. And if you don't, well that's okay too. Thanks for keeping up the great work! :)
You know, I spend £100 buying a super rare VHS tape of the '90s remake of Apaches years ago, and never got around to making it. But it was all people asked me once at a convention I attended years ago. I might do one soon, would be nice to do the odd non-gaming video every now and then.
Larry do you plan on making your little Larry icon lose weight also? But seriously Dude we are so damn proud of you for losing that weight and getting healthier.
I gotta agree with Kougaji on this one although, if you used your actual face and super imposed the cartoon one I think that might look kool. Then again you do have a really nice smile so now I dont know what to think.
Yep, the Gradius 3 version startled the hell out of my younger self because it made the screen flash and made a larger explosion sound. “Wait a minute, am I doing it right?!”
Here's another that could fit into the 3rd one: In the wrestling game AAA Lucha Libre (published by Konami), entering the code will transform all the wrestlers into mini versions including any created characters.
The transition music combined with the giant text saying "KILLS YOU" absolutely broke me and I will be ripping that from this episode to use as a reaction lmao I'm slightly surprised that the Metal Gear Solid 2 one didn't end up on here, but there's so many of these that I've never heard of (the one in the Scott Pilgrim game shook me, I ground the hell out of that game for money!). Thanks for the great stuff as always!
I never get tired of these great Fact Hunt videos Larry! Also Larry, I'm still hoping you will give us more LIVESTREAMS please. Your loyal supporters will give back!
@@thisisnotachannel thats alright lol, its strange to think that im an adult but never had full exposure to it, and seeing today's kids not know how good games like the sims 1 were, just because of the semi-isoteric view makes me kinda sad
11:31: (to a friend playing Gradius III who forgot the cheat code): If you put in the original Konami Code, it'll destroy everything on the screen. (Inputs code, watches as ship blows up). Everything including yourself (not technically true, but the point was made). Use the shoulder buttons next time.
The Ratchet 3 one goes pretty close with "up up down down left right circle square square" for the Quark ballerina dress. It definitely is an homage to the Konami code, and it's not even hidden, as a character explicitly says both the code and what it does in a cutscene!
I remember in the first AVGN game, if you entered the Konami Code on the title screen, the game displays a fake error screen essentially telling you "that code is too obvious"
The bit about unlocking Spyro in Crash Bandicoot is interesting, since, at the opening screen of Spyro 2, you can unlock Crash Team Racing. Quite amusing parallels
Hearing classic Konami beats and seeing so many classic Konami games hit me hard early in the morning. Even now, the pain of their fall into assiness is raw.
If you pull the arm on the Silent Hill pachinco machine up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right; you'll be thrown out of the casino for breaking the machine.
In the fourth topic about the Konami Code killing you in the game, you forgot to talk about Contra 4 on the Nintendo DS that would either take away an extra life or upgrade a power-up to its max potential. It was a 'risk vs. reward' type of factor for using the Konami Code in that game. Just thought I would throw that out there since that didn't make it in this video. :)
16:13 Reminds me of the horse in Daytona USA (Sega Saturn version) that you unlocked either by clearing Saturn Mode or using a cheat that unlocks every hidden car and the horse.
I implimented it as an easter egg, in the final website, when I passed my web programmer education. Triggering the code, it would display a picture of a hunter in greenland, showing off Santa as his latest kill. Bizarre, yes, however quite the laugh. It was actually a polar bear that had been killed in self defence. I photoshopped santa into the picture instead of the bear.
@@TankEngine75 We did it on a closed network. It was an exam, creating a webshop/corporate site from scratch in 5 days. 6 hours a day. Fully documented, with site map and everything. The proposal for features had to be aproved before any programming. We only had time for programming the actual site the last two days. And 80 percent were bug tracing and quality controll. So... Nope. I have it on a cd-r somewere. But we were alowed to use any code snippets we had in advance.
@@TankEngine75 It was online for one year, if you had a password for the schools website. Basically everything that I did during the education was sat up as a personal portfolio. Yet I never used the education for anything, as I went on a different route in life. I never had any real luck in life, getting a job in the IT industry, despite knowing so freaking much. But I guess that is natural to know a bit, since I have been interrested in anything computer related since 1985.
When I use it in Bloodlines, it's usually in conjunction with the "Goroawase" code. Essentially, enter the BGM in the options menu to "05" and SFX to "073", making sure to play them once. Then back out to the title, have it loop the pseudo-Mode 7, enter the menu, then enter the Konami Code. Your reward is not just 9 lives and Expert mode, but it also cause the music to change when John upgrades the Vampire Killer or Eric with the Alucard Spear. In this case, it will randomly change to either "Beginning" from "CVIII: Dracula's Curse", "Bloody Tears" from "CVII: Simon's Quest," or "Vampire Killer" from the NES original. Resetting the console keeps the codes active, allowing you to pick up where you left off, and even get a better ending in the case of the fight with Dracula
I remember that one easter egg in StarCraft 2: Legacy of the Void, in the mission Templar's Charge (where the Protoss assault a Moebius Corps base that's producing Hybrids), which features a platform, which the player's base is located on, that can be moved around by clicking on the arrow buttons. Attempting to enter in the Konami Code with those buttons will cause a new button to appear. Clicking on that new button will cause a flying outhouse to crash down in a nuclear fireball, with a controllable Tauren Space Marine emerging from the explosion.
I remember in bravely default, there was a secret ending that teased the 2nd game, you had to enter the konami code while hovering on the bottom option of the profile screen.
You're not alone. I had no idea this was a real thing either... Until today I'd always thought the trope was referencing some kind of fighting game power attack... But I grew up in a Euro-centric, Commodore 64 and Amiga culture. I've never actually owned a console.
To be fair, multiple games have used the code for the same (or functionally similar) effects, so it's not 5 _games_ that use the Konami Code but 5 _uses_ of the Konami Code implemented by many different games.
Hi Larry, I read the subtitles! Also, in the modded module “The Gamepad” for the PC game “Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes”, if the left-hand number is prime then the first half of the answer is Up Up Down Down, and if the right-hand number is prime then the second half is Left Right Left Right.
I like how when talking about RuneScape you used the login screen from a private server and not the RS3 login screen. I might've accepted the OSRS login.
Another interesting use: if you enter the code into the Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Controller, it’ll play sounds similar to Mario and say “You’ve won!”
That sponsor 'Hunt a Killer' is to me genuinely one of the most bad ass ideas ever, loves me some murder! Mysteries! Murder Mysteries! Not killing people to death then cutting up the still warm corpse to deposit at various drop off spots along the canal. No deffinately not that at all...
@@RippahRooJizah Through to the mid 1990s and early 2000s too. It wasn't until the PS2/XBox era that games started being less about fun and more about telling a story.
@@Dargonhuman Oh it started far earlier than that. It just became more known as time went on. That said, I am not sure what your issue is with telling a story.
@@RippahRooJizah I don't have "a problem" with story telling in general, just when some pretentious game developer makes their game boring by focusing too much on story with too many pointless cut scenes or other methods of taking control from the player to force them to pay attention to the usually awful and banal story. If a game has a story, it should be a service to the game play, not an interruption.
@@TheDjcobra2001 i love it, too. i could never clear post-game sphere 211 because the bosses always crashed the game, though. that, and fayt leingod is the worst protagonist name ever, lol.
I played that game too, and I absolutely adore it. It's one of the first 3d Jrpg's I ever beat, and is the cornerstone of my early development that turned me into a weeaboo. Albel was always my favorite party member... Good golly I'm gonna have to go play through it again.❤️
Fun fact: using the Konami Code on BuzzFeed's website (of all places) would change every text on the page to copy-pasted "Justin Bieber", and using it on the Vogue website would summon a rather fancy-looking dinosaur (that in my memory also appeared on the BuzzFeed website at some point). No clue if it still works, but why would you want to try that out? Why would you willingly go to BuzzFeed?
In GTA Online: using Konami Code on Invade and Persuade II, grant you 99 lives, but forbids to complete Live Saver challenge. In GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition, entering this code, will be enlarge every character heads.
The Konami Code was used much the same way in the International Superstar Soccer 64 on the N64 as it was in ISS98. Getting teams such as European All Stars A, European All Stars B, Asian All Stars, African All Stars, All American All Stars and World All Stars. It was like all the best players (at the time in their pseudo names) got into teams to play against each other in a Fantasy Football exhibition match.
I'm a bit surprised that there are so many different variations on the code. I never would have tried holding the controller upside down before doing the input.

If you write out the code on a sign, walk into the Konami headquarters brandishing it, and shout incessantly about the failings of modern Konami versus the old days, it unlocks a secret IRL cutscene where the police come to escort you to a temporary, minimalist apartment.

If a game has a story, it should be a service to the game play, not an interruption.
"Making a woman who just got out of the shower cry," I feel personally attacked.
It is a masterful, all conquering code.
Great episode, I loved the puns 😂
Cheers bud :)
The code even made it into Wreck-It Ralph, anybody remember the scene.
I remember it. I'm glad someone else noticed it too
My favorite relatively obscure use of the code was in the anime 'Battle Athletes: Victory' towards the end of the series
wait...does that mean someone besides me played star ocean: til the end of time?
I love that game.
@@TheDjcobra2001 i love it, too. i could never clear post-game sphere 211 because the bosses always crashed the game, though.
that, and fayt leingod is the worst protagonist name ever, lol.
I played that game too, and I absolutely adore it. It's one of the first 3d Jrpg's I ever beat, and is the cornerstone of my early development that turned me into a weeaboo. Albel was always my favorite party member... Good golly I'm gonna have to go play through it again.❤️
Wasn't that the game that all the oldschool Star Ocean fans hated because it retconned the entire series as taking place in a virtual reality MMORPG?
@@Fyrmer yep. I didn't mind it though
Great analysis! Thanks for uploading, Larry!
I wonder why and when they decided to make the code hurt you.
Just to toy with you.
Fun fact: using the Konami Code on BuzzFeed's website (of all places) would change every text on the page to copy-pasted "Justin Bieber", and using it on the Vogue website would summon a rather fancy-looking dinosaur (that in my memory also appeared on the BuzzFeed website at some point). No clue if it still works, but why would you want to try that out? Why would you willingly go to BuzzFeed?
Enter the Code on our newest game from Kumnami and we'll turn off the Microtransactions!
Oh, if only... ...If only a dare to dream.
That's bold of you to assume Konami will ever go back to making games.
@@LordArikado Live Bold Live Mas.
The sponsor wasn't Raid Shadow Legends, thank you Guru Larry!!
Let's face it, the Konami code is more famous than Konami, because at least a cheat code didn't go into a downward spiral of making pachinko games.
Did you see that video of the fisher price toy that has an easter egg when you input the konami code?
I'm not sure what a "SNEZ" is. Super Nintendo Entertainment Zyztem?
I have never heard of "Sayga" either. Did you mean "Sega"?
In GTA Online: using Konami Code on Invade and Persuade II, grant you 99 lives, but forbids to complete Live Saver challenge. In GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition, entering this code, will be enlarge every character heads.
The puns are amazing!😂
Ah the Arnold Palmer Golf one was a golden nugget wasn’t it!!🤣
Don't forget about the Secret Screen Song from Adventure Time!
I have to give you a thumbs up for the puns alone in this one! :)
The Konami Code was used much the same way in the International Superstar Soccer 64 on the N64 as it was in ISS98.
Getting teams such as European All Stars A, European All Stars B, Asian All Stars, African All Stars, All American All Stars and World All Stars.
It was like all the best players (at the time in their pseudo names) got into teams to play against each other in a Fantasy Football exhibition match.
I'm a bit surprised that there are so many different variations on the code. I never would have tried holding the controller upside down before doing the input.
Ah, yes, the Konami Code. I believe it's the numbers on the front and back of your card.
Great as always Larry!!
