What Is Super Alexa Mode and How Do You Activate It?


Super Alexa Mode is an Easter egg for Amazon's Alexa voice assistant. Learn how to activate Super Alexa Mode and the history behind the command.

What Is Super Alexa Mode?

Super Alexa Mode is one of many jokes programmed into Alexa by Amazon's developers. It's based on the Konami code, a famous cheat code created by video game developer and publisher Konami. The code appears in dozens of titles including the Contra and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series of games.
Everyone loves asking voice assistants funny questions to see how they respond, so it was inevitable gamers would try the Konami code on Alexa. Amazon anticipated such queries, so they came up with witty responses to make users laugh.

What Is the Super Alexa Mode Code?

To activate Super Alexa Mode, say, "Alexa, up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, start."
Alexa will reply with, "Super Alexa mode, activated. Starting reactors, online. Enabling advanced systems, online. Raising dongers. Error. Dongers missing. Aborting."
The command refers to the buttons you must press on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) controller to activate the code in certain video games. Alexa's response doesn't reference any particular game or meme; it's just a trick to make gamers think they've discovered something special. Unfortunately, Super Alexa Mode doesn't endow Alexa with any new capabilities.

What Does Super Alexa Mode Do?

Super Alexa Mode doesn't serve any purpose beyond giving gamers a laugh. It doesn't change anything about your device, so there's no need to "deactivate" Super Alexa Mode.

History of the Konami Code

The invention of the Konami code is credited to Kazuhisa Hashimoto, head developer of Gradius for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1986. During the testing phase, Hashimoto created a code for his team to use that allowed players to start the game will full upgrades. The code made it easier to test all aspects of the game without worrying about enemies and obstacles.
