About ^^vv›‹›BA
“^^vv›‹‹BA” is a secret command in KONAMI games that has managed to be part of popular culture. First included in Gradius’ version of the NES, released on April 25, 1986, entering this command allowed the player’s spacecraft to be strengthened with special power-ups. This long but easy-to-remember secret command has since been used in countless games and has become a classic over time.
