It lets them think of themselves as a star without having to actually do any work.
You might wonder why these game codes are out there at all if it lets the kids cheat their way to the finish line. Probably because if the child completes the game and gets bored, the manufacturers of these games are hoping that said child will want to go out and purchase another one, and another one and so on.
