Kid icarus game genie

What the hell is this thing? I guess I have to throw some credit to the developers for coming up with something so absurd, but I at least wish there was a way to shake the curse. A similar problem manifests while ducking. The moving around is useful, but not nearly as much as plain ducking. One of my favorite aspects of Kid Icarus is the beautiful scenery. Yes, the graphics are old and dated looking, but they perfectly capture that NES-essence that many of us crave.

Simple but colorful imagery abounds, and although a few enemies appear to be little more than amorphous blobs, most of them contain an appreciable level of detail.

The real treat though is the scenery. You have to use your imagination a bit, but I love the settings that the graphics suggest. The Underworld is cave-like and subterranean while the Overworld has a normal, terrestrial feel. Skyworld is most impressive with its use of clouds and basic Greco-Roman structural elements. The music is also top notch. In fact, I think it gets better with each and every level.

Note that these cheats have been removed from subsequent digital releases of the game such as the version on the Virtual Console. And of course the Game Genie can be of immense value as well. The final battle with Medusa! Notice how Pit is both flying and shooting. I will say that even with various codes on, Kid Icarus still poses a significant challenge due to the unavoidable and intensive platforming design and the time consuming mazes of the boss stages.
