Worms
PC
- Typing "BAABAA" either on the Options screen or in-game will grant you the Sheep, Banana Bomb, and Minigun. Typing it backwards disables the cheat. In Worms United the cheat code is changed to "BOBJOB" to activate and "BOJBOB" to deactivate.
- The Bazooka-Uzi trick.
Amiga
- Typing "TOTAL WORMAGE" (including spaces) replaces the Cluster Bomb with the Banana Bomb, the Uzi with the Minigun, and the Mine with the Sheep on the options screens. It also changes the palette on the main menu.
- Prod is a hidden move on the Amiga. To Prod, tap AWAY, AWAY, TOWARDS, TOWARDS. Your worm will then Prod. This ends your turn.
Sony PlayStation / PSone
- Pausing the game and tapping "X, Square, Square, X, Square, Square, X, Square, Square" will grant you unlimited Sheep, Banana Bombs, and Miniguns, and will also make the Ninja Rope more flexible.

AMIGA | ROCK LOBSTER!! | References the codename for the Amiga 500 home computer, the most common and successful of the Amiga range. |

BEN HUTCHINGS | IS A … ? | References the creator of WormShell, a tool that fixed several bugs in the Amiga release of Worms. Hutchings' ReadMe for WormShell makes some unkind comments about the coding for Worms, and so this comment may have been made in retaliation. |

Landscape Generator cheat codes
Enter these in the Landscape Generator by right-clicking the mouse, typing the code, then pressing the Enter key. Spaces must be included when typing the codes.
In addition to these codes, typing the name of a specific landscape style (e.g. HELL, ARCTIC, FOREST) will generate landscapes of only that style.
Code | Effect |
---|---|
1471 | Re-generates the previous level. |
ALL | Will generate any type of landscape. Active by default. |
CAVERN | Only generate Cavern landscapes, with ceilings. All Air Strike weapons are disabled on these landscapes except for the Concrete Donkey. Appending a space and then this code to a landscape style name will generate only Cavern landscapes of that style (e.g. "HELL CAVERN", "ARCTIC CAVERN"). Due to a character limit, "GRAVEYARD CAVERN" cannot be typed. |
CUSTOM | Randomly selects a custom level. Left-clicking the mouse will pick another random one. |
GRAFFITI | Randomly selects a saved Graffiti level. Left-clicking the mouse will pick another random one. |
HIGH | Generates landscapes with a much higher than usual water level. |
LOW | Generates landscapes with the standard water level. |
MEDIUM | Generates landscapes with a slightly higher than usual water level. |
WEIRDED | Generates hollow landscapes. |
632 800-999 | Where "800-999" is any number between 800 and 999 (e.g. 632 876). This generates a series of weird and wonderful landscapes. |
