In the following Jerome Gambit game, White's pawns advance to disrupt his opponent's position, clearing the way for his pieces to invade the enemy position and deliver a sparkling checkmate - even more impressive because it was a bullet game.

1 0 bullet, lichess.org, 2024
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Ke8
Seen as early as Blackstone,John - Dommeyer,Carl, skittles game, Campbell, CA, 1960 (1-0, 13).
6.Qh5+
More aggession. Wolfpack1051 earlier played the better 6.Nxc6 in Wolfpack1051 - gks3, lichess.org, 2022 (1-0, 69), but in that case one has to be ready for the wild 6...Qh4.
6...g6
Not 6...Ke7 7.Ng6+ Kd6 8.Qd5 checkmate, Wolfpack1051 - S-YusupovRustam-7, lichess.org, 2021.
7.Nxg6 Qf6

Black's counter-threat of capturing on f2 with his Queen, is part of the right idea - this happens in bullet games. Instead, 7...Bxf2+ was best, i.e. 8.Kxf2 Nf6 9.Qh4 Rg8 10.Rf1 Rxg6 11.Kg1 Qe7.
Wolfpack1051 has also faced 7...hxg6 8.Qxh8 Kf8 9.d3 Qe7 10.Bh6+ Kf7 11.Nc3 Qf6 12.Qxf6+ Nxf6 13.Be3 Ng4 14.Bxc5 Black resigned, Wolfpack1051 - pohang, lichess.org, 2022
8.Nxh8+ Kf8 9.Qxc5+ d6 10.Qe3 Qxh8 11.O-O Qf6

White is up 3 pawns and the exchange. He still has to beat the clock, as well as his opponent.
12.Nc3 Nge7 13.d4 Qg6 14.f4

White puts his pawns in motion.

Black could have grabbed a pawn with 17...Nxf5, but, with his King on the same file as White's Rook, it looks too dangerous - especially in a 1-minute game.

21...Ncxe5
It is not immediatly clear, but this capture is with the wrong Knight.
It also allows a forced checkmate.
