Debug Leftovers#

Using the Game Genie code AENYVNNY, you can re-enable the debug mode. First of all, this disables the title screen warp cheats. Instead, it enables the invulnerability toggle at the player selection screen: just hold Left and press Start to toggle it on and off. During game, press B on Controller 2 to skip to the next stage. Also on Controller 2, press Right to select the item slot, press A to add more items. Finally, there is some scene skip after the Stage 2 and message "Game Over" will change to "To Be Continued".

Level Select#

At the title screen, enter one of the following button codes to warp directly to the corresponding stage:

• Up, Down, Left, Right, B, A - Stage 2
• Left, Right, Up, Down, A, B - Stage 3
• Down, Up, Right, Left, A, A - Stage 4
