Razor Freestyle Scooter (Nintendo 64)

The Nintendo 64 version of Razor Freestyle Scooter is a port of the PlayStation game, notable for being quietly pushed out near the end of the Nintendo 64's lifecycle.

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Check if test mode does anything else.

Test Mode#

Enabling the below GameShark code will display a FPS counter on the top left corner of the screen. It will also enable a minimal free camera mode when holding Z.

Cheats#

While the EVERYTHING UNLOCKED cheat has been known for several years, there's actually individual codes to unlock each character in the game as well as another unused cheat system that reads button inputs while the game isn't paused, however for these you need to have Test Mode enabled. These cheats actually do nothing at all anymore.

The In-game cheats may have been related to the other cheat text found in the ROM that have no effect anymore: BALANCE METER DISABLED, BALANCE METER ENABLED, and RESPECT TO UNLOCK. However, the text TOURNAMENT UNLOCKED, CURRENT LEVEL MAX, and SECRET CHARACTER UNLOCKED, actually have a small portion of code left to display them in the pause menu. Apply the below code to change the "Daryl Unlocked" cheat to an unused text string. It's unknown if they actually affect anything in the game anymore.

Unused Display Menu#

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: See if this shows up on a European N64.

Despite the Nintendo 64 port of the game never being released in Europe or Australia, it has some text for 50hz support which can be found at 0x1DF0 in the ROM. None of this text ever shows up when the game is played on a North American console.

if the picture appears correctly,
your tv supports 60hz

if the picture is unstable or flickers,
your tv is not 60 hz compatible

a picture will be displayed for 3 seconds
test whether your television supports 60 hz

60 hz display
requires a television that supports 60 hz

50 hz display
can be displayed on all pal televisions

TEST

There is an unused section of code to display this menu, however no control routines for it anymore. Apply the below code to enable this screen at startup.
