Debug Leftovers#
Game Pause#
During the game, press B on Controller 2.
Location Select#
During the game, hold A + B on Controller 1. Then, by pressing A on Controller 2, you can cycle through 16 predefined places in the game.
Invulnerability, All Items, Fast Walk#
In the Japanese version, hold A + B on Controller 1, then power the console off and on again. This doesn't work if you just reset the console.
Now, during the game, press Start to enter the status screen. On Controller 2, press A to enable super fast movement or any D-Pad button to enable invulnerability, add all items, equipment and refill 255 MP. Note that enabling invincibility during the last dungeon will make enemies invincible instead.
In the US version, this feature is disabled, but you can re-enable it using the Game Genie code XTKLVYAV.

Secret Messages#
In the Japanese version only, enable "Invulnerability, All Items, Fast Walk" cheat as described above, then beat the game. When the THE END screen is displayed, reset the game and begin a new game or continue a previously played one. Start a conversation with any character with A held on Controller 1, then one of four secret messages from the developers will be displayed. Every time you start a new conversation, the message changes. After the fourth message, they will repeat.
Message 1
"Congratulations! You actually beat the game! You've made Rushana a very happy girl! I don't even mind if you fiddle around with the levels and stuff! Heh heh!"
"Yes, congratulations! Thanks for playing to the end! Please let us know what you thought, okay? That's all from Hiropon, your producer in training!"
"And a word from Tomiyan, to everyone who cleared the game... Uhnn, uhnn... You're so naughty... ...Dead silence..."
Message 2

"Whoa! Where are you touching me? And why does it feel so good!? No... Stop that! (Furupi)"
"Oh, hi there! Did you enjoy God Slayer? Keep supporting us in the future! Oh, and listen to SNK's game soundtracks! Have you listened to them already? We sure hope so! (Yoko)"
Message 3
"Hey, hey! Are you another fan of me, Gorgeous Maeda? I'll give you my signature later, alright!? See ya!"
"What the hell are you starin' at!? Stop wastin' my time. You're shameless! -Developer 1"

The flashing in the opening has been toned down. However, this doesn't applies to the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection version.
