Specifically: There's a scene select menu that can be enabled with debug mode somehow.

Debug Mode#

Having the below code active will enable developer shortcuts. This will be enabled once at the main menu. After you save your game with the code on, you will no longer need the code active to enable debug features.

Controls:

Down + Square will toggle debug info.
Down + Start will enable a debug menu. This allows you to change background images, change flags, and play sound effects.
R1 + Triangle on controller 2 to enable skip mode. You will need the Change Controller 1 to Controller 2 code active for this as the game disables controller 2 inputs.
