What exactly is Super Alexa Mode, and how do I turn it on?

Hey, so check this out! There’s a quirky little feature on Amazon Alexa called Super Alexa Mode, which is basically just a nod to the old Konami Code from vintage video games. When you activate it, Alexa throws out a playful message, but don’t expect it to do anything else; your settings and functionality stay the same.

Now, if you’re curious about how to activate this mode, here’s the deal: You start by saying “Alexa” to get your device’s attention. Then you run through the Konami Code, which goes like this: “Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start.” After you’ve said it, Alexa will respond with something light and fun—kind of like an inside joke for us gamers.

Honestly, it’s all just a bit of fun and doesn’t change how your Alexa works. It’s like they added this for giggles—perfect for folks who love video games and nostalgia.

If you’re still curious or want more info, you can head over to places like Digital Trends and Lifewire. They’ve got all the juicy details on how this Easter egg came to be and why gamers might get a kick out of it.
