Cheat Codes - Scott The Woz 

I remember using cheat codes for the GTA series, my mother saying to me "why play the game, if you're just gonna cheat?" I never cheated to get past any mission, I only typed in cheat codes because it was fun, and I wanted to cause chaos.

“to change the bowling ball color in Wii Sports” haha yeah. wait what

"You cheat in Mario Tennis 64, you're the playground's messiah. You cheat in Mario Tennis Aces, the neighbors get alerted when you move in near 'em." I've literally never heard a more true quote.

Scott 6 2 97 isn't his DOB, it's a cheat code for infinite Scotts.

I think one of my favorite things about this channel is there's no irritating intro animation and music, nor two minutes of pointless blather. Just a quick hello and then bam, content.

Anyone remember the Scholastic Book Sale? That was cheat code book heaven.

If you use the Konami code while creating a RU-vid channel, you start with 1 million subscribers.

"And you want to dive into the immoral side of gaming-" *cuts to Raid Shadow Legends ad* Dies laughing.

When I got a game shark as a kid (on my game boy) I pretty much ran a trading scam behind my school at recess. I would charge every kid a dollar for five minutes with the game shark and their game boy. But if they didn’t have a game boy I would let them use mine with it for an extra 5 dollars. Once the teachers found out I had to go behind a tree, and make sure people didn’t make a line like they used to. Then the teachers found out again, and I couldn’t bring the game boy or the game shark anymore. So my dumb ass tried to start the scam again at my house and on the bus after school. I let that run up until I was in 7th grade, then I stopped for some reason I can’t remember. By the time I was done, I made enough money to buy at least 5 more game boys. Lol

Wait, YOU CAN CHANGE THE BOWLING BALL COLOR?!?

When he was like “ there’s one company who still makes cheat codes” I thought he was gonna say Travelers tales

4:57 The internet really enjoys this pairing.

5:20: "Name a better way to find out you can change the bowling ball color in Wii Sports" ...You can what?

What separated the men from the *S C U M B A G S*

Scott: “and change the color of the bowling ball in Wii sports” Me: *spits out cereal* “WAIT WHAT”

I used to watch SMG4 when I was younger, and used my action replay to mess around in Mario 64 DS, kinda pretending it was an SMG4 episode. It definitely brought me a dozen more hours of entertainment than just the base game!

Games being taken more seriously really did ruin some of my favorite parts of games that ran on silliness. Like look at the first God of War game: you beat the game once, now for no extra cost you can replay it with Kratos in a cow suit with massive udders or a fish costume. I don’t see the PS4 game giving me my udder suit.

I’m using “I’m Irrelevant” as a reaction image now thanks Scott

“Cheat Codes! What separated the men from the SCUMBAGS!” I love that line

I remember having an action replay for DS as a kid. I always used it after I beat whatever game I played to see how much I could break it. The action replay didn't really have a big life span breaking in a matter of weeks.

I remember when you were the hottest shit for having the cheat code books from the scholastic book fair in elementary school. That’s where I learned that Luigi was a playable character in new super mario bros ds.

4:49 holy shit that is the exact book I had as a kid. brought that thing with me everywhere until it disintegrated

2:43 How has accidentally unlocking the final level in Battle for Bikini Bottom been such a common thing HAHAHA

I appreciate that scott normalizes the piss out of the audio in his screaming sections.

scotts mom: ok nothing wrong here he's just reading about gta 4... wait a minute is that the A word SCOTT

R.I.P Cheat codes “If only they could give them self’s infinite lives”

4:20 that's a well-timed joke

"Look at this I'm cheating" - Katerino 2020

So I was today years old when I found out you could change the colour of your bowling ball on Wii Sports. Guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow.

Who else bought that cheat codes book at the scholastic book fair and thought they were cool

How kids cheat today: -Enter random combinations on the E Shop

I’m am unjustifiably happy to see Beatmania GB mentioned outside of small rhythm game and retro circles. I almost jumped up in excitement seeing one of my favorite obscure GBC games being mentioned.

I applaud your self restraint in avoiding the temptation to discuss the infamous Tomb Raider nude code.

Cheat codes never died out They just go by the name “Paid DLC” now

I'll be honest, those cheat books were honestly a huge reason for me wanting so many games as a kid. I thought they were the most fun you could have with games at the time.

4:27 Roads? Where we're going, we don't need... roads

Pokémon and Game Shark= good ol days

I think the reason you don't see many cheat codes these days is that back in the day, cheat codes were mainly built in so the devs could test stuff to see if the game would work properly. Because it'd be way too time-consuming to play through the game each time to do this, they put in stuff to select levels, so they could test stuff there, or invincibility, so they could see if everything in the environments was good without having to worry about getting killed by enemies. But they'd just leave them in because who knows what could break in the game if they took out the codes with a bunch of stuff layered on them. Nowadays, testing stuff is easier, and if something broken is found later, they can just release an update... couldn't do that before. This wasn't the case for every code, some were put in just for fun, but this is probably a large reason for it.

Alternate tile: Scott forgetting about Lego games having cheat codes for about 10 and a half minutes

The console commands in Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy gave me hours upon hours of extra fun. Those were the days.

Cheat codes? Psh, you haven't seen corruptions.

I had a cheat code book for nearly 11 years. The cover had torn off from age, but I loved it. Only threw it away because, you know, internet...

6:20 decades later and nintendo still hasnt changed.

I remember being one of the few people with an action replay for my DS back in Elelmentary school. I was giving out hacked shiny legendary Pokémon like it was candy. People started giving me stuff, even extra copies of Pokémon games they had like crystal and gold for the game boy.

No mention of the LEGO games? I’m disappointed Scott...

I only know one person who still uses cheat codes; my wife. She doesn't know that I know, but it's obvious. Every time I come home, a stream of men leave threw the back door. I don't want to tell her that I know the truth, I love her.

one nostalgic thing abt this, is that my dad and mom (who played video games when they became popular, like the originals) actually knew game codes, and it would just BLOW my little toddler mind, and thought they were the coolest

I remember renting the game genie for NES from Blockbuster. It came with this thick book of all the games and different codes and their function. I had so much fun with that thing as a kid.

Up up down down left right left right b a The grinch leak was fake

Too broke to buy one of those books but rich enough to afford a paper and pencil and save the codes for later

Scott: You can change your bowling ball color in Wii Sports. Me: WHAT

Awesome vid. Thanks for highlighting the fact that some of us like to use these cheat devices to do things that weren’t meant to be done in a game. Awesome keep up the good work

Did the exact same thing with the exact same SpongeBob GBA game, was also when I peaked as a human being.

I remember at the scholastic book fair I bought a book of cheat codes in third grade because I thought I was cool and the only game I owned that they had in the book was Wii sports.

0:11 Honesty, that's an adorable baby picture of you 👼

Scott Wozniak... The only person I've ever seen brag about gaming on a Mac 🤣

8:51 Here we go, Super Mario Sunshine with cheats- *game crashes*

I found out this cheat code that works IRL, it's Gun, Street, Person, Money, Jail. It works everytime.

7:46 *"Feel Invincible" by Skillet plays*

I still remember most of the codes for Rogue Squadron. Things like flying the Millennium Falcon and imperial shuttle were mind blowing when I was a kid

Cheat codes left, micro transactions came.

I remember buying cheat books in the book fair from elementary school, takes me back.

I love that the contra theme is playing in the background, so fits the vid

I love how the "book" is an instant pot manual.

9:38 “Saw the game like i never seen before *Shows fat CJ*

three things you need to know 1.your name 2.your address 3.the Konami code

I really like the Cheat Codes in Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie.

0:00 don’t mind me, this is just a replay button

When I was a kid we all had a gizmo called "Action Replay" which gave access to tons of cheats in most games... Edit: JUST after I posted my comment you started talking about it... nice

4:56 "What Bowser and ass together!?!" Bowsette ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I remember learning the codes for invincibility and infinite ammo for the original Star Wars Battlefront II from a code book an old friend of mine had, that was about 15 years ago or so and I still remember them to this day.

I remember having tons of fun messing around with portal cheat codes with my friend

"Separated the men from the S C U M B A G S"

ProJared used those a bit too much, I believe.

I love the vids. You have a very funny personality my friend. Always got me laughin with the Puns n Jokes. Haha

I love the Tomb Raider 2 joke where if you entered the "nude code" that was supposedly in the first game, Lara Croft would just straight up explode

4:20 That’s probably the hardest I’ve laughed at a Scott The Woz Video before (also, I’m not sure if the time stamp being at 420 in the video was a coincidence or a joke)

"I played it on a MAC" Every PC gamer gets triggered

This is the most informative Scott the Woz video because I never knew you could change the bowling ball color in Wii Sports

Scott: *jumps once in Pac man world 2 and wins the first level* Also Scott: moving on.

Rip creator of the Konami code :(

Finally! A new jontron video!

Travels tales still uses cheat codes and its amazing

i always liked the jump on air code for mario 3 that you showed briefly

DLC ruined cheat codes! There I said it!

The LEGO games have found a sorta middle ground, where you have to earn the cheats by doing a quest of some sort or collecting enough studs. I always found this sort of cheat system much more satisfying as you have to put a bit of effort to get them, and I’m so glad they are still doing them

I like how it is done today, like when you finish a game once you have access to different options and cheats

Great video scott

Pat Sajak: “The theme is *Code* ” Me: “Up Arrow” Pat Sajak: “...Two up arrows.” *ding*

"Like Bowser and Ass? Together?!?" Wasn't this how Bowsette created?

"The Great Edgar Hunt" is something I didn't know I need.

Scott: I’m sad that games don’t have cheat code anymore. *Laughs in Age of Empires*

That comma thing killed me for some reason 😂

I remember back when i was around 6 years old, me and my brothers went to out friends house and he showed us the flying car cheat and my mind was blown.

Pretty neat on putting Contra while talking about cheat codes

The entire mod community: “I’m irrelevant!”

4:19 This is why I'm subscribed.

5:22 I need this bookmarked Edit 1: I'm serious

I love that all PC fallouts and elder scrolls give you the console. Sometimes I like getting stacked and then seeing if I can kill a death claw/dragon in 1 hit.

The greatest game to input cheatcodes for ME when I was a kid was Pokemon GSC I always felt like a god using my gameshark and spawning whatever pokemon or item I wanted.
