Debug Mode#

Like other LucasArts games, it is possible to enter full debug mode by typing a debug password along with pressing an activation combination. In Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, enter the password monkeyspit and then press Ctrl, Shift and D together. If successful, this operation will allow you to perform several actions, such as teleporting to any room in the game or running the game in fast mode.

Boot Parameters#

Boot parameters allow you to skip to a specific point within the game story, such as story points and special events. Upon setting a boot parameter via the debug menu, you will be teleported to the related area, eventually with some new items. Some boot parameters, such as forest and fish, will show an error and make the game crash.

Room Numbers#

Rooms, as the name suggests, are areas of the game, characterized by a background image and can contain items and NPCs. Rooms are involved in two of the debug actions listed above. By pressing Ctrl and G a box of text will appear, allowing you to enter a room number (or a room name), followed by another box asking the xpos, that represents the horizontal position occupied by Guybrush after teleporting. Rooms can also be used to pick up certain objects, by pressing Ctrl and O and specifying the object and the room number (or room name). Some rooms, such as copycrap and raft, are only used in cutscenes and menus, therefore they have little to no available actions.

Change Character#

By pressing 1 while in debug mode, it is possible to change character, as long as it is on the screen. If you enter the carpenter shop, for example, you will be able to control the shop owner, who might perform the same actions as Guybrush. Other characters, such as Wally and the Men of Low Moral Fiber, can be moved but won't perform a complete walking animation, as they are busy with other actions (for instance, Wally will go on reading his maps). For some reason, the shipwreck floating in water under the Woodtick bridge is playable as if it was a character.

Carpenter	Wally	Shipwreck

Browsing Pick Up Animations#

Guybrush will perform five different pick up animations, mapped from 2 to 6, which include crouching and standing actions.

Crouching	Standing

Change Text Color#

It is possible to change Guybrush's speech text color from the default white to various other colors by pressing the 7 or 8 keys. Repeated presses change the color further.

Face A Direction#

Press the F key to make the player character's sprite face forward, B to make it face backward, and R to make it face the left side of the screen ("stage right").

Get Money#

Press M to add 100 pieces of eight to the inventory. Repeated presses add more money. Of note is that at 500 pieces of eight the inventory icon switches to the "colossal number of coins" icon instead of the standard icon.
