Test Mode Menu#

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Is there a cheat code to enter this menu in-game?

Start the game with patch code 000672:47F8. The game will boot into a special Test Mode Menu with debugging features. Up and Down navigate through the options; Start selects an option.

I/O#

Opens a screen which shows a simple test of the controller buttons. Press Start to exit.

Rikishi Anim#

Opens up a menu ostensibly for testing player animations. Up, Down, Left, and Right navigate the menu, A and C decrement the selected value, and B increments the selected value. Start exits the menu.

To run the test, select Test and press A, B, or C. Controls will lock up while the test runs; press Start to stop the test and regain control.

Rikishi Center#

This tests player sprites to ensure they are centered properly. The controls are the same as for Rikishi Anim.

Rikishi Original#

Seems to be identical to the Rikishi Center except for the name; unsure how it differs exactly.

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.

Sound#

A simple sound test. Key in sound codes using Left and Right and press A to play. Press Start to exit.

As with other SMPS games, sound codes above 0x80 should work.

Engyutu#

Opens the Visual Test menu available as a password. Choosing Exit returns you to the Test Mode Menu.

Ending#

Plays the game's ending.

Short Ending#

Plays a one-screen cutscene.

Auto Check ( 1P-CPU)#

Shows "ROUND" on screen, then waits for you to press a key. The game then plays the round 1 intro cutscene and then locks up. Presumably originally used to test matches.

Auto Check (CPU-CPU)#

Same as Auto Check ( 1P-CPU). This was presumably used to test CPU-CPU matches.

Round Select#

Doesn't seem to do anything; will just bring you back to the Test Mode Menu.

This needs some investigation.

Specifically: Sets word $FF274C to 1, loads something else, then jumps back to the menu. This word is also set to 1 elsewhere (password related?).
