Dead by Daylight ( Windows, Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch) - When the code is entered while having one of the Silent Hill characters equipped on the main menu, the game plays a jingle from Gradius and grants the player a charm that can be equipped by characters.BioShock Infinite ( Irrational Games, Windows, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch) A variation of the Konami Code at the game's menus unlocks the game's more difficult "1999 Mode" from the start.Anno 1800 ( Ubisoft Blue Byte, Windows) - Entering the code within the gameworld spawns hundreds of random animals flying through the air and chaotically bouncing off the terrain.Similar cheats are applied to other games in the series. Tokimeki Memorial – Entering the code allows the player to unlock special features in the game and also extra power ups in the Twin Bee mini game.The code has been subsequently re-used in a large number of other games and other computer programs.

The Konami Code was thus included in the series' other sequels and spin-offs, with some key differences. The sequence was easy enough to remember for testers and simultaneously sufficiently hard to enter accidentally during the gameplay for unsuspecting users. The developers decided to leave it there, as removing it could result in new bugs and glitches. The code was meant to be removed prior to publishing, but this was overlooked and only discovered as the game was being prepared for mass production. After entering the sequence using the controller when the game was paused the player received all available power-ups. Finding the game too difficult to play through during testing, he created the cheat code, which gives the player a full set of power-ups (normally attained gradually throughout the game). The Konami Code was created by Kazuhisa Hashimoto, who was developing the home port of the 1985 arcade game Gradius for the NES. The code has been used to help non-experts players to progress through the game. The code is also known as the "Contra Code" and "30 Lives Code", since the code provided the player 30 extra lives in Contra. The Konami Code was first used in the release of Gradius (1986), a scrolling shooter for the NES and was popularized among North American players in the NES version of Contra.
