Return of Donkey Kong Mode to GoldenEye
Recently, cheats have been discovered to allow a big head mode (Donkey Kong mode in the original GoldenEye) within the Wii’s GoldenEye 007, although only within multiplayer mode. Additionally a “tag” mode and invisibility mode also exist. The codes are as follows:
NotIt!!!11 – Unlocks Tag in multiplayer Split-Screen (see under modifiers. Requires three or more players.)
Inv1s1bleEv3ryth1ng – Unlocks Invisibility Mode in multiplayer split-screen (also under modifiers. Invisibility is activated in lieu of sprint by holding B).
<477MYFR13NDS4R3SP13S> – Activates Big Head Mode in local multiplayer. There is no toggle in the local multiplayer modifiers, the only way to switch it off is to reset the defaults; the only way to switch it on is to re-enter the code.
