Or do this instead, on the titlescreen enter:

B, A, Right, A, C, Up, Down, A

Ah yes, the BARACUDA (with one R) cheat. A kind of wordplay you could hardly do on other consoles.

Speaking of wordplays:

In Ecco: The Tides of Time For unlimited life and air, move Ecco left and right, and pause the game while Ecco is facing you (toward the screen). Next, press A, B, Right, A, C, A, Down, A, B, Right, A (Abracadabra). Your health and air will drop to 0 but won't kill you.

Addendum: For Sonic 3 (standalone) there was a really hard cheat code for the level select screen during the opening animation of the game.

Right after the Sega logo's screen darkens and Sonic starts jumping towards the screen, quickly press . This code is notoriously hard to do, due to the weird frame windows, but if performed correctly, the Ring collection sound will play. In the Sonic Jam version of the game the code is entered on the title screen and no precise timing is required. Press twice (or once) to see a "Sound Test" option on the title screen.

ENGAGE RIDLEY
MOTHER FUCKER

ENGAGE RIDLEY
MOTHER FUCKER

I absolutely love that password.

Funnily enough the game would crash mostly because you would've played the game for years and Ridley is technically already killed in that game so you couldn't engage Ridley at all.

Justin Bailey is another classic but isn't based off anyone.

To see Lara Croft NAKED in Tomb Raider II, perform the following actions:

Take one step forwards,
Take one step backwards,
Turn around three times
and then either jump forward or backflip.

Speaking of cheats i tried use cheats on Army Men 3D(for ps1) but not work for me.

Donkey Kong Country for SNES (and GBA too!)
before starting a new game or a save game, move all the way down to "ERASE GAME" and press buttons in this order: B, A, R, R, A, L. You'll hear a sound confirming it worked. Now start the game and you will have a TON of lives!

Sonic Advance for GBA (play as Sonic and Tails together!)
On the character select screen, press up, right, down, right, L, right, R, right, A.
Now you can play the main game as Sonic and Tails together like in Sonic 2, 3 & Knuckles.

Neat! I'm still wondering why this wasn't by default.

I was thinking the same thing. It doesn't cause slowdown or anything.

Maybe Dimps wanted to make you try every characters so Tails would've been redundant.
