Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is a collection of minigames and quizzes that educates you (I know! Learning in video games! Whaaat?) on the ins and outs of Nintendo’s latest console. Some minigames require expensive peripherals to complete, but you can skip them with a special cheat code the game teaches you on your journey.
How to skip minigames
In Nintendo Switch 2’s Welcome Tour, many mini-games can be finished using the Joy-Con controllers that come with the system. However, certain mini-games necessitate additional equipment like the Pro Controller, the Switch 2 Camera, or even a 4K TV. If you lack some or all of these items, don’t worry! The game provides a shortcut code to help you bypass them. But keep in mind, there is a condition attached: using this cheat may have certain limitations or effects on your gaming experience.
The cheat code requires you to press the ‘Y’ button in quick successions, similar to Morse Code. Here’s the sequence:
(Press Y) (Short pause) (Press Y quickly multiple times) (Long pause) (Press Y again quickly multiple times) (Long pause) (Press Y rapidly several times) (Long pause) (Press Y slowly once) (Long pause) (Press Y twice rapidly) (Long pause) (Press Y three times slowly).

A long press equals two seconds, while a short press works out to a quick tap.
In order to input the code, you need to position yourself in front of an operator managing a mini-game requiring equipment like a Pro Controller or Switch 2 Camera (which you don’t possess). Then, follow the instructions and press the Y button. Upon entering the code, the operator will reward you with two silver medals – but remember, this is the tricky part.
Each mini-game within Switch 2 Welcome Tour presents two gold medals as rewards: one for fulfilling a moderately challenging set of criteria, and another for exceeding expectations. The silver medals do not factor into your completion rate, so achieving 100% in an area (or the entire game) necessitates utilizing peripherals needed to fully complete the game.
Nevertheless, silver medals serve as substitutes until you acquire the necessary additional features. As I noted in my game review, enjoyment can still be derived from it, although it may essentially function like an interactive user guide.
