This is how Super Mode is activated
In addition to the general commands, Alexa also masters some special codes, such as super mode or funny answers. Super mode is activated by the following command to Alexa:
“Alexa, Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start.”
If the mode is freeform, Alexa responds with:
“Super Alexa mode is activated! hehe! Added ten extra lives. Speed level 3 unlocked. All power ups available. malfunction. Power-ups have no power. Cancellation.“
This is what super mode does
In fact, turning on Super Mode doesn’t do anything other than Alexa’s response.
The command is actually a cheat from the field of video games, known as the “Konami Code”, as futurezone explains.
The code was originally used by Japanese game developer Kazuhisa Hashimoto in 1985 to speed up testing of the game “Gradius” and could not be removed afterwards due to the possibility of bugs in the game.
Nowadays, the Konami Command is a well-known cheat code that can be used in many different games as an Easter egg of sorts.
With Alexa, however, the command has no other power for the time being, apart from the funny answer.
