Debug Options#

Apply the below code to change the Mega Ball Powerup cheat (press L, L, R, R, L, R in-game) to display a debug option.

USA code:

Mega Ball Powerup cheat = Debug Option

Make sure you have a controller plugged in to slot 4.

Sound Test#

On controller 4, C buttons change the "Tune" and directional pad changes "SFX". A button plays a SFX and B button plays a tune, however playing music doesn't appear to do anything.

Lighting Editor#

A debug display that allows editing of ambient lighting.

Use the Analog Stick to change values, and the D-Pad to move the cursor with controller 4 inputs.

Cheats#

Several cheats that websites didn't pick up back in the day can be enabled in-game by pressing the buttons listed below. A sound will play if the cheat is accepted.

Inputs	Effect
L, L, L, L, L, R	Unknown
R, R, R, R, R, L	Unknown
L, L, R, L, L, R	Unknown
L, R, L, L, L, L	Unknown
L, L, L, R, R, R, B, A, B, A	Unknown
L, L, L, R, R, L	Unknown

In addition to the used cheats, there is several other cheat inputs that have no function in the game, as a result they do not work.

L, L, R, R, L
B, B, B 
R, R, R, L, R 
R, L, R, L, R, L 
L, R, L, R, L, R
