Cheat code to unlock the special cup does not work on Wii U Virtual Console

I just got Super Mario Kart for the Wii U today off of the Nintendo eShop. I found a cheat code online that you can use to automatically unlock Special Cup in time trials mode. The steps are:
- Select 1P
- Go to Time Trials
- Select Mushroom Cup
- Press the buttons LRLRLLRRA
I did all of these in order, but the problem occurs when I select the Mushroom Cup. I feel like it's not selecting it correctly or something because when I use the cheat code, it made my selection go back and forth where on the video, it didn't. I'm very confused. Does anyone know how to properly do this?
