Editing Cheat code

'''Cheat codes''' are built-in cheating mechanisms in video games that usually give the player considerable advantages, such as the ability to skip to any level regardless of progress, invincibility, or power-ups to the player character. Cheats are typically activated with unprompted button sequences in the game's menus or by accomplishing an obscure or illogical series of events within the game. Despite their name, cheat-codes do not always give the player an advantage, as something entered like a cheat-code may instead result in graphical changes or unlock extra content that does not directly benefit the player.

====''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''====

Holding the {{button|nes|A}} button and then pressing {{button|nes|start}} on the title screen after a [[Game Over]] will allow the player to continue from the first level of the world the player died on, rather than being sent back to the beginning of the game.

*'''KPXWN9N3''' will start a tournament on [[Toad Highlands]], at the end of which a promotional code for [[Nintendo Power]] will appear.

The player can enter the following button combinations after selecting "Erase Game" on the File Select screen:

*{{button|snes|B}},{{button|snes|A}},{{button|paddown}},{{button|snes|B}},{{button|padup}},{{button|paddown}},{{button|paddown}},{{button|snes|Y}} ("Bad Buddy") - in a 2-Player Game, lets the inactive player become active without the active player's input

These codes can be entered by holding {{button|gba|select}} while highlighting "Erase" on the File Select screen. Entering them correctly will have a voice say "Not Bad!".

*{{button|gba|B}},{{button|gba|A}},{{button|gba|R}},{{button|gba|R}},{{button|gba|A}},{{button|gba|L}} ("Barrel") - gives 50 lives

*The player should go into the cabin where Kaptain K. Rool's note is found, then leave without collecting the [[Extra Life Balloon]] or reading the note.

*The player should then collect the first [[Banana Bunch]] without collecting any other [[banana]]s.

*The player should leave the cabin, and repeat step 2.

*The player should go back into the cabin, without collecting any bananas. A Kremkoin will be inside, and once it is collected, the player's Kremkoin count will jump to the maximum of 75.

After this cheat is performed, the player can still collect regular Kremkoins from boss battles and [[Bonus Area]]s. Collecting the coins in this manner will not count toward the player's [[completion]] percentage.

While creating new file, pressing {{button|paddown}} five times while highlighting Two-Player Contest Mode gives access to the game's Music Test. Doing so

again opens the Cheat Code option, allowing the following codes and effects to be added:

On the Cheats section of the Options Menu, players can input the following codes:

*'''WELLARD''' - removes all DK Barrels

*'''WEAKLING''' - gives 55 lives

Players can enter codes in both the Super Nintendo and Game Boy Advance version of the game, resulting in gameplay changes.

*'''LIVES''' – Players are given 50 lives. Entering it before starting a new profile will result in players being ranked "Cheatin' Chump" after beating the final boss.

*'''ASAVE''' – The game automatically saves after each level. Entering it before starting a new profile will result in players being ranked "Cheatin' Chump" after beating the final boss.

*'''MUSIC''' – Enters Dixie Kong's Music Test, where players can choose any in-game music to listen to.

*'''ERASE''' – The record time for [[Riverside Race]] will be deleted on all files.

*'''HARDR''' – 29 of the 139 [[DK Barrel]]s will be removed. This code must be entered before starting a new file to work. If the game is beaten with this code activated from the start, the player will have a score of 104% instead of the standard 103%.

*'''TUFST''' – All [[Star Barrel]]s are removed. If entered before starting a new file, almost all [[DK Barrel]]s will additionally be removed; the effects will be permanent to that file. If entered before starting an existing file, the effect only lasts until the game is reset. If the game is beaten with this code activated from the start, the player will have a score of 105% instead of the standard 103%.

Players can enter codes by pressing "Enter Cheat" in the "Options" menu.

*'''EXTRAS''' – Players can play all of the minigames included in the game from the main menu.

*'''MUSIC''' – The game opens the music test, where players can choose any in-game music to listen to.

*'''MONKEY''' – Players get 50 additional lives when used.

*'''TUFFER''' – [[DK Barrel]]s and Star Barrels are removed if the player starts a new game.

*'''KREDITS''' – The credits play.
