They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

    Excellent!

    But AFAIK, the Konami Code never meant anything at all like “keep going!”, it’s just the Konami Code. But I’m not what you’d call a gamer, either.

    Knix – The “Konami Code” is generally a recharge (ie. back to full power, extra lives, etc.) code of some sort, initially intended to allow developers/testers to continue playing games longer than their skill would normally allow.
