Konami code

The Konami code was a cheat code that provided extra health in certain Konami video games such as Contra, Gradius and Castlevania. It was popularized due to many of these games being very difficult to beat and using the code was a necessity a certain points.

Due to the popularity of the code, it has become incredibly popular in video games where using the code will result in an easter egg being activated. Chris has also borrowed it and used it in his own comics for a totally different reason, since he already has infinite health.

The code is Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start. In that order.

Uses

Chris explaining the use of the code to Diamond Melody

The code is prominently discussed in Sonichu 12-9 where inputting the code before entering Equestria prevents humans from turning into ponies. Where and how the code is input is a mystery. In the comic, Chris explains to Diamond Melody that the code is a "technical override" that is input on a gamepad. Chris has talked about it again in the Count Dankula interview, where he tells Dankula that without the code, he would become an alicorn.

Diamond Melody and Night Star entering CWCville without using the code

The code may also work vice-versa, as when Diamond Melody and Night Star portalled their way into CWCville park, they turned into humans and Chris explicitly states that they didn't use the code in this situation.

Night Star used her powers to convert them to humans, but since they did not use the code, shouldn't that be automatically done?

But a problem arises a few pages later when Night Star and Kun Hanphuc portal into the GE plant, Night Star uses her powers to turn them into humans instead of it automatically converting them.
