Released in 1995, Killer Instinct pushed the Super Nintendo to its limits. With digitized graphics, over-the-top characters and insane combo systems, it quickly became one of the most memorable fighting games of the 16-bit era.

Of course, no retro gaming adventure would be complete without introducing the Game Genie into the mix!

For this experiment I loaded up the SNES version of Killer Instinct and tested a collection of Game Genie codes ranging from playable boss characters and instant victories to one-hit knockouts and bizarre glitches. Some of these cheats were incredibly useful, while others completely broke the game in hilarious ways.
