Sometimes the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) leads to an attack with many choices to enforce checkmate.

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
7.f4 Ng6
Black appears unfamiliar with the Jerome, and chooses to save his Knight, not the Bishop. Main line was either 7...d6 or 7...Qf6.
8.f5+
An interesting idea, played only a few times before, according to The Database. Simplest was 8.Qxc5.
8...Ke5
Bold, but the retreat 8...Ke7 was required.
9.fxg6+ Kxe4
Suicidal. White has many choices as he pursues checkmate.
10.Qxc5
Strong, although he had the alternative 10.Nc3+ Kd4 11.Qd5#
10...d6
This does not stop 11.d3#
11.Qe3+ Kf5 12.O-O+ Kxg6
There is no escape.
13.Qg3+ Kh6 14.d4+ Kh5 15.Qf3+ Bg4 16.Qf7+ g6 17.Qd5+ Kh4 18.g3+ Kh3 19.Qg2 checkmate
