These alphanumeric strings, designed for use with a specific peripheral, modify the behavior of a role-playing video game originally released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. They alter aspects such as character statistics, available items, or game difficulty. For instance, a code might grant a character infinite health or provide access to powerful weaponry early in the game.
The appeal of these codes lies in their ability to provide customized gameplay experiences. Players could circumvent challenging sections, experiment with different character builds without extensive grinding, or simply explore the game world with significantly reduced risk. Historically, they provided a way to extend the lifespan of games and offered accessibility options before such features were commonly integrated into the game design.
