When you tell Alexa “up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, start,” you are actually triggering a reference to the famous Konami Code. This code was originally used in video games to unlock special features or power-ups. In this case, it activates a hidden Easter egg or a playful response from Alexa called “Super Alexa Mode.”
Upon hearing the command, Alexa will respond with a confirmation message saying, “Super Alexa mode activated. Starting Reactors, online.” This response is a playful nod to science fiction and gaming culture, making it an amusing interaction for users.
However, it is important to note that Super Alexa Mode does not actually activate any new features or change the functionality of your Alexa device. It is simply a fun and entertaining response designed to add a bit of humor to your interaction with Alexa.
While it may not have any practical use, it can be a great conversation starter or a little surprise for friends or family who are unfamiliar with it. It’s always fun to discover these hidden gems and share them with others.
When you tell Alexa the Konami Code, it triggers Super Alexa Mode, which prompts a playful response from Alexa but does not alter the device’s functionality. It’s a fun Easter egg that adds a touch of entertainment to your Alexa experience.
