What is that one video game cheat code you'll never forget about?

I'll start us off with the classic "Explode All Cars" cheat from the classic 2004 game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, as that is one that I remember using a lot for no rhyme or reason:

R2, L2, R1, L1, L2, R2, SQUARE, TRIANGLE, CIRCLE, TRIANGLE, L2, L1

Works for Sonic 3D Blast on Genesis and probably the other games as well, but BARRACUDA (b a right right a c up d a) for certain things. I'd like to think it's debug mode, but I don't fully remember since it's been more than a few months since I last played and tried on either 3D Blast, 1, or 2.

tuck tuck tuck and arrrrwalktheplank are two of my favourites. The first summons a monster truck in AoE3, and the second has a large pirate ship jump into the battle in Free Space 2.

Actually there is a set of missions in FS2 that can only be reached by cheating to become invincible during an event you were supposed to die I think.

I find it neat when companies put in assets and extra content most players wont find without trying to break things a bit.

Flying car cheat in San Andreas. I don’t know what the buttons are, by my muscle memory is so ingrained that if I start it I can usually get it after 1/2 attempts. Even if I haven’t touched the games in years.

I have it on a T-shirt & still try it on games randomly to see if there's an easter egg.

I wasn't particularly wowed by the gameplay of the sims 4, but I really enjoyed the building mode, especially with the freedom to put stuff exactly where I wanted, collision and autosnapping be damned.

Down up left left A right down to get the cheat menu on Mortal Kombat on the Sega Megadrive.

On Revenge of Shinobi set the number of shurikens on the Options screen to 0 and wait 20 seconds. The zero turned into an infinity symbol, giving you unlimited shurikens.
