PUYO PUYO GAME VIEWER#

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Label each menu option and describe what they do.

Another debug menu can be enabled below. This one tries to load itself after a match all the time, but of course gets skipped. It contains a character select, a game mode select and a level select. It will show your total stats after a match as well.

After any game match of any type, this will appear after trying to return to the town map with the above code on.
