Debug Flags#
|
|
This needs some investigation. |
A hidden option that allows the player to change some variables can be accessed with GameShark code 010503D0 or Game Genie code 06B-F7A-F7E with a US or European cart. Go to the options menu, keep pressing down until going past Exit, then press Start or A. Press Start or A to change a value from 0 to 1. Pressing B goes back to the options menu.

Though invisible and unselectable in the released game without the code, this hidden menu option actually DOES have a "??????" text label defined for it. Setting the first number in the second row to 1 or enabling GameShark code 0180B2FF makes the hidden entry visible.
As for the other debug flags, the whole first row sets which of the unlockable hidden characters are playable; and the bottom-right two digits control access to the game's two hidden puzzle modes, usually unlocked via button combinations on the title screen that are disclosed to the player after completing certain modes. It is still unknown what the other debug flags control, if anything.
