Beyblade: Metal Fusion

The second Nintendo DS game based on the Beyblade: Metal Fusion anime, and the first to be released outside of Japan. It has since become known for several special releases which came bundled with different Beyblades, alongside their own exclusive characters.

Unreleased Passwords#

After completing the story campaign, the player unlocks a password menu. These passwords were originally distributed in certain copies of the game, and while there are 19 of those in total, only five were ever discovered and documented under normal circumstances for the non-Japanese versions; it's not known if the others were ever distributed. The majority of passwords for the Japanese version were published in game magazines and at events. Interestingly, there are passwords for every special character in the Western versions, which not only unlock them to use in the story mode, but also their Bey parts, making the game 100% completable without requiring other versions. The Japanese and Korean version of this game lacks two of these special character passwords.

The following list contains every password in the game. Important to note is that each input symbol has a password symbol ID attached to it, with some being used by multiple ones. This means there are multiple characters that can result into a correct password. Bold written symbols can be replaced with each other without breaking the password. Furthermore, majority of the passwords are the same between the American, European and the Korean versions, except the two special character passwords mentioned before that are not present in the Korean version.

Hidden Sound Test#

In the same menu where the player can input the passwords, hidden debug passwords can be entered in the Japanese version of the game to test the voices of the characters within the game. Unlike the actual passwords which are ten characters long each, these password only consists of a few characters which include the name of the character written in Katakana as well as a sound effect index. Using a password plays the related sound effect and blocks any input until it finished. There are no sound test passwords in the US and EU versions, but they are still present in the Korean version. However, although they can't be used in that version due to the required characters not being available in the version.

The following list contains all sound test passwords. The [ ] are placeholders and must be replaced with the desired sound effect index in decimal number, indexes below ten must have a leading zero.

Anti-Piracy#

Watch on YouTubeThe game utilizes the DS Protect anti-piracy library to ensure that it is not being run off a flash cart or emulator. The game runs a check when loading a save file, if any check fails the game will lock the "How To Play" button and remove all unlocked characters from being selected.
