Lol, I wasn't serious about that, I just suggested it because it would please both BombAHead and Bag of Magic Food. As for what the code does, you can read all about it here at GameFAQs where it's been the most popular SMB3 topic for over 3 years:

Clearly you are missing the best part of this code.
THE SHOE.
But yeah, you can also abuse the statue invulnerability by hold down+b to go to statue, then hitting select to switch to another ability. This'll let you walk around while still invincible.
I think the best combination is entering a level with the P-wing, flying up, quickly switching to Tanooki statue and back to Raccoon Mario before landing. Invincible, infinite flight enabled power.
Hmm, Frogsuit-Mario walks without any jumping delays.
Err, it seems I didn't fully think what I wrote.

You need to start FCEU with the "-gg 1" option (game genie emulation), and have the Game Genie ROM somewhere where FCEU can find it. In Linux, store it as gg.rom to your .fceultra directory.
It uses the KKKZSPIU game genie code and chooses the frog suit as early as possible (but not at the map), and intends to keep it all the time.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that you need to set the "first emulated scanline" and "last emulated scanline" to 0 and 239 respectively, for this movie to work.
FCEU inconveniently saves these settings and recalls them when I don't need them...
EDIT 2: Oh... and you must not use the FCEU's built-in game genie code support.
Interestingly enough, the Game Genie ROM seems to have been authorized for distribution by the original maker nowadays - it can be downloaded from the University of Alberta's website here, for example.
Now, why can't Nintendo allow this kind of redistribution as well? :)

It is indeed interesting, considering that Galoob originally refused emulator authors' requests for information regarding the Game Genie codes.
I have an actual Galoob Game Genie for Snes and let me tell you its a piece of junk sometimes the codes dont work that you put in and it changes the value. Its better using an emulator.
Hmm.... I didn't know this topic existed.
(And now that I do, I combined some existing discussion about the subject into this thread.)
Well, now that I do, I might as well mention this movie:
https://files.tasvideos.org/bisqwit/smb3j-frog-test.fcm
It plays the first few levels of the world 1 using the frog suit.
It requires using the master cheat code.
(Address $A9C5, value 204, compare 53, type "read substitute")
(In Game Genie syntax, KKKZSPIU)
I know this can be done as I've done several levels myself and it would be pretty interesting to see. I would like to see one of the SMB3 masters beat SMB3 using only the Froggy Suit. I know you don't get the Froggy Suit until World 3, but maybe a code can be used to give it to you at the start, seeing as how it isn't progressing you any further through the game and is actually making it harder.
What do you think? Can it be done? I think it can.

Nothing at the moment.
Ooops sorry, I should've checked to see if there was a topic for this already.
