R.B.I. Baseball '94

The last R.B.I. game released on the Genesis featuring redrawn player graphics, better music, rather compressed player portraits, and Jack Buck's voice announcing every batted ball. An updated '95 release was planned for the Genesis but was scrapped in favor of an exclusive 32X release with further graphical enhancements.

Animation Viewer#

Go to the main menu and set "PASSWORD" to "YES", where the player will be sent to a password screen. Enter MOBAAAAAAAAA on this screen and press A to see the above screen. Pressing Left or Up will go back by one frame, while Right and Down will go up by one frame. The sprite can also be moved with the second controller's D-Pad. Pressing A sets "DEF" to "YES", while B sets "DEF" to "NO" and sets the player's sprite back to its normal position. To go back to the title screen, press Start.

Secret Passwords#

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Are there any other effects for these passwords? Some of these don't seem obvious.

In the ROM at 0x07E70 is a list of 11 passwords although one of them cannot be input. Their effects are as follows:

Password	Effect
BAD CODE	This password cannot be input because there's no blank space characters in the Password screen.
STILLBADCODE	Softlocks the game.
MAYDSCRLSALS	Starts a 2-Player game at the team selection screen, with whatever settings were already in place beforehand.
THECHALLENGE	Starts a 1-Player game at the team selection screen with the Tengen and Dream Teams available. Difficulty is automatically set to Hard if it wasn't already set by the player.
DREAMONAGAIN	Starts a 0-Player (CPU vs. CPU) game at the team selection screen with the Tengen and Dream Teams available. Difficulty is automatically set to Hard if it wasn't already set by the player. If the Dream Team wins then a peculiar screen is displayed before the usual box score showing a stampede of runners. Pressing any button skips to the usual box score.
AAAAAAAAAAAA	Simply returns to the Main Menu with no other effect.
MOBAAAAAAAAA	Opens the Animation Viewer as detailed above.
SILLYSOUNDSA	Returns to the Main Menu. Turns on Crazyball sounds from the Options menu if it wasn't already set.
SENDHELPNOWA	Returns to the Main Menu. After choosing Play Ball under any configuration, the national anthems that play before the start of the game cannot be skipped.
BLENHEIM83AA	Starts a 2-player game at the team selection screen, with whatever settings were already in place beforehand.
CHEATMODEOO7	Returns to the Main Menu. After choosing Play Ball under any configuration and regardless of whether human or CPU controlled, Player 1 cannot accumulate Outs as long as they hit the ball anywhere on the field. Player 1 can still strikeout and record an actual Out. This does not apply for Player 2, whether human or CPU controlled.

These are right before the regular credits at 18925C. It doesn't seem like any of the passwords will reveal the text, nor is there any known cheat code that reveals this.
