Keio Flying Squadron 2

Notes: Regional differences need documentation.

Keio Flying Squadron 2 is the sequel to Keio Flying Squadron. Instead of a shoot-em-up, this game opts to be a standard side-scrolling platformer.

Debug Mode#

On the Mode Select screen, press Right, Right, X, Left, Left, Y, Up, Up, Up, Up, Up, Z, R, L.

You'll notice that you've entered the code correctly because starting a new game will cause lots of debug text to be printed on the screen.

In the game, pausing the game gives you the following options:

  • R toggles a debug display
  • L leads to a level select (this requires the debug display to be turned on).
  • A allows the protagonist to jump much higher
  • B toggles invincibility
  • C causes you to die instantly
  • X toggles a hitbox display
  • Y turns on more debug messages

Holding X during the game enables frame advance.
