Cheats

Cheats is a cheats menu located under the main menu of Conker's Bad Fur Day. The Cheats menu is zoomed in at the fireplace of The Cock and Plucker next to a Fire Imp. The Cheats menu does not return in Conker: Live & Reloaded.

The player enters a cheat from on-screen wooden computer keys which include every letter sorted alphabetically, a period, a space bar, a backspace (DEL) and an Enter key. The highlighted key has a pink background surrounding the letter. The player can use the to move between keys, or press  to input the highlighted letter, and  to exit from the Cheats menu. When the player is done inputting a cheat, they must press the Enter key, causing the Fire Imp to say whether or the inputted cheat is valid.

The Nintendo Power guide does not provide a list of cheats. This is even acknowledged on page 7 of the guide.
