Older games had stuff like passwords or the konami code, but i dont see how those button combos could be figured out by one player. Im guessing some official strategy guides had them but if the game didnt have one or didnt include them, did they just spread word-of-mouth from that kids uncle who actually does work at nintendo?

Apart from the other answers (all mostly valid), there were pay-for “helplines” for the games made by the game producers. You would phone up a premium line and tell them where you were stuck and they had the developers notes on where to go, what to do, etc. and they would also have sympathy if you were really stuck or not very good, and tell you the cheat codes.
