Jewel Master

Jewel Master is a somewhat Castlevania-esque action game whose gimmick involves collecting elemental rings, which can be freely mixed and matched to create different abilities.

Hidden Area#

In the forest area of Stage 1, there are four hidden platforms in the trees which can be reached by double jumping. They lead up to a small, seemingly pointless ruin platform with three statues.

However, you don't gain the ability to double jump until you obtain the Level 3 Wind Ring in Stage 4, making this area normally inaccessible. Using the Game Genie code A3ZT-AA8A (US version) allows you to jump infinitely, allowing you to reach it.

Round Select#

Enable Game Genie code CAMT-AAFJ to access a round select when starting the game. On the Japanese ROM, booting with patch code 0003AC:0010 will have the same effect.

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Is there a button code? I disassembled as much code as I could find and found no reference to writing $10 to screen mode variable $FFFE04...

Unused Text#

The text Scene at address $001F26 is stored among the options text, but isn't displayed on the options screen. It would've been located between the Sound Test and Exit selections:
