Debugging Functions#

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Figure out the content of the rightmost entry in the debug display. See if there's a way to enable these in the US and EU versions.

Interestingly, the Japanese version has multiple debugging functions enabled by default. Just press the corresponding button/button combination during gameplay to access them.
