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

They also had “kaching” or something similar instead of rosebud in Sims 2 I think. But it was only 1k or 5k unsure. Motherlode was much more ye

Actually it works in a whole bunch of Konami games, and of course some modern games have thrown it in as an homage.
