What is the Super Alexa mode?

Super Alexa mode is a hidden function for Amazon devices that unlocks when entering a special access code.If you guess the correct code, the smart speaker will begin to reproduce a start sequence that will turn on a super secret mode.

Do you remember when you had to introduce a sequence of keys in old consoles to activate some tricks into the games?Because the essence of the special access code to activate the Super Alexa mode is very similar.

The code that uses the Super Alexa mode is based on the famous Konami trick code that was launched in 1986 and could be used in certain Nintendo Nes games such as Gradius or against.

Kazuhisa hashimoto was responsible for the creation of the command, and apparently forgot to delete it from the test version.The success of the Trick Code was brutal, so much that it has become present in more than 100 games for different consoles over the years.Of course, the controls were adapting to the different buttons labels.

How to activate it?

There it goes!To activate the Super mode you just have to approach the speaker and say: "Alexa, up, up, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, start".

Immediately Alexa will answer you: "DIN, DIN, DIN, the code is accurate, downloading updates".If you are wrong and do not say it quick enough, Alexa will tell you that you have failed, that you entered the incorrect code and will ask you to say it again.

So try again and try to say it clearly and quickly, without long pauses.This will be effective on any Amazon Echo, show or DOT device, and also in the Alexa application for iOS or Android.
