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

Crack a candle
One step forward
One step backwards
Turn around three times
Jump forward

The first Sonic game. At the main screen, up, down, left, right, hold A, press start. You could jump to the final zone, if you were so inclined.

I also found out that it didn't make them invincible, but rather multiplied their damage and damage reduction by 100x

On secret of mana 2 (snes), hold L R Start Select then reset to go into sound test menu. Most Square games of the time had L R Start Select as a soft reset shortcut.

I always preferred idfa, so you'll actually still get to play the whole level looking for the keys.
