Welcome to the the Nintendo Code Book. If you want cheat codes or need to find out more about hidden features in games for the various Nintendo game systems, look no further than this pile of ASCII text.GAMES WITH CODE ENTRIES, LISTED BY SYSTEM Super NES 478 ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| NES 8-bit 406 |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Game Boy 294 ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Nintendo 64 239 ||||||||||||||||||||||| GB Advance 202 |||||||||||||||||||| GameCube 187 |||||||||||||||||| GB Color 148 |||||||||||||| DS 33 ||| Virtual Boy 11 | Game&Watch; 2 | Arcade 5 | Total: 2000 (Checked: 187 Partial: 136, Unchecked: 1679)This text file is meant to be read using a fixed width font, such as Courier.

----- File and Game List Information ----- Anyway, getting back to the important stuff... this archive should contain the following files:NESCODES.TXT The main file containing the preface and codes REVISION.TXT A list of revisions. INDEX .TXT A list of all games covered in this archive FILE_ID .DIZ The description of the archive.The game entries in NESCODES.TXT are listed in alphabetical order. The articles "A" and "The" are ignored. If a game title begins with the word "Super" merely because it is a sequel to a previous game on a Nintendo platform, the game will be found under the series name (example: Super Castlevania IV is listed below Castlevania III. Super Bomberman is listed below Bomberman); there is one exception to this rule - all Super Mario games will be found in the S listings.
Next to each game title is an abbreviation used to designate the system the game is for.
nes Nintendo Entertainment System snes Super Nintendo Entertainment System gb Game Boy (grey cartridges) gbc Game Boy Color (black and transparent cartridges) gba Game Boy Advance ds Nintendo DS vb Virtual Boy n64 Nintendo 64 gc Game Cube gw Game & WatchPlease note that the GBC code will refer to both dual-compatible games (the black cartridges that will run on both a Game Boy Color and an ordinary Game Boy) and those that will only run on a Game Boy Color (the transparent cartridges). The GB code is only used to refer to games that have no built-in support for the Game Boy Color. This is important, as there are many games being released for the Game Boy Color that have the same title as older Game Boy games, even though the game program may be different (for example, the standard Game Boy Defender/Joust is an entirely different game than the Game Boy Color Defender/Joust).
----- Symbols Used in Code Descriptions -----
To understand the codes given in this code book, you'll need to understand the abbreviations I use to refer to the controllers.CNTRL I/II/III/IV Game controller number 1, 2, 3, or 4. If none are listed, use controller number 1. [On the N64 and Game Cube, this will be used when the code can be entered using either the joypad or the joystick.] PAD I Crosskey Joypad (+) on Controller #1. [On the Virtual Boy, PAD I is the joypad on the left side of of the controller, and PAD II is the joypad on the right] STICK I Joystick on Controller #1. cU cD cL cR Up, Down, Right, and Left on the C buttons OR C Stick U D L R Up, Down, Left, or Right on the joypad or joystick. U+R U+L D+R D+L The four diagonal directions possible on the pad/stick. U+R is the upper right diagonal, D+L the lower left, etc. These rarely appear in the code book. A B X Y Z The A, B, X, Y, or Z (trigger) buttons. [R] [L] The R and L shoulder buttons on the top of the controller. [On the Virtual Boy, these are the two triggers on the underside of the controller] SELECT The Select button START The Start button RESET The Reset button on the system itselfSymbols used for special code moves:+ Press two buttons at the same time. For example, "Press A+B" means you must press A and B at the same time. It might also mean that you should hold the buttons down in the order given; that is, hold A and then also hold B. x Number of times a button must be pressed. Ax4 means you must press A four times, or "A A A A". () Repeat a set of buttons a certain number of times. For example, "Press (A B)x2" means you must press A B A B. "Press U (A+B)x2 B" means you must press U A+B A+B B.A little piece of advice: often, you can make a one player cheat code into a two player one by pressing SELECT before you press the final START in the code on the title page, as this highlights the 2 Player option usually available.
----- Checked Codes & Assistant Editors ----- You'll probably notice that every game title has a small line under it which reads CHECKED-something. This is my system for determining which codes are fully confirmed, and which codes ... aren't.
CHECKED-YES These codes work. I guarantee it. CHECKED-NO These codes probably work. Please tell me if they do or don't CHECKED-PART Some of these codes are confirmed, some aren't.
Every code in the book is preceded by a small ASCII arrow. In CHECKED-PART entries, these arrows tell you if a code has been confirmed (=>) or if it hasn't been confirmed (->). CHECKED-YES and CHECKED-NO entries only use the => arrow, as I think it looks nicer. So remember, a -> arrow means that the code hasn't been tested by me yet; if it doesn't work, let me know.
Some codes are split into multiple sections using * asterisks. When a code is marked as -> to indicate that it is partially confirmed, I may use . periods instead of * asterisks to indicate that a piece of the code has not yet been confirmed.
Any comments? You can always write to me at DavidDayton@ISNTJUNKMAILLOVELYpotchgult.com and I will try to respond!
