Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow (SNES)

The Super Nintendo port of the original Genesis Donald in Maui Mallard.

Just as he is about to quit his job and spend the rest of his life as a silly and simple duck in sailor clothes, the detective who is also a ninja Maui Mallard decides to do one last mission: search and find the missing idol statue of Shabuhm Shabuhm before the island it protects explodes. But that won't be easy since everyone in the island wants him dead for whatever reason...

Debug Menu#

At one time, Debug was available as the fourth option on the title screen. However, it was disabled, and now cheat codes are required to access the debug menu.

On the title screen, move the current selection to the invisible fourth option, and press Start.

Same directions as above, but after moving to the 4th selection, disable the code before pressing Start.

Passwords#

Disabled Password#

• A A A - Shabuhm Temple

This level password was "removed" and made impossible to enter. Instead, use these Pro Action Replay codes and enter BBBBBB as the password.

00CDB842 00CDB942 00CDBA42 00CDBB42 00CDBC42 00CDBD42

According to the options menu, this password is supposed to take you to "Shabuhm Temple", which seems to be placed after the final level, Mojo Stronghold. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any remains of this level, so the game sends you to a broken version of Test of Duckhood Act 1 instead.

According to the design docs, the Temple of Shabuhm was the original intended sixth level of the game where Donald was to have gone through the temple in drag and faced off with shield wielding Amazon Warriors as well as a Voodoo doll resembling him as the boss. The aftermath of the fight would have resulted in Hernae being angered and having him go through the Test of Duckhood to prove himself worthy.

Debug Passwords#

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: The developer says passwords "BTBMPH" and "DCVQMQ" enable "maximum weapons at all times" and "maximum Ninja power", respectively. But when entered, the passwords don't seem to activate such effects.

The game contains several interesting debug passwords. They can all be activated by entering them one after the other. To disable a particular cheat, enter the password again. Jon Williams, the lead programmer on the SNES version, provided more details in an interview.

Each password sets or unsets a bit in the byte located at 7E1F55.

Regional Differences#

The game was released under the Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow title in North America, where Disney was concerned the Donald Duck name would hurt its commercial viability.¹ The European and Japanese versions thus use a different title screen to the one used in the US:
